Financial Support

Tuesday December 2-31, 2025, the
VGG / Valley Giving Guide
,

https://www.valleygivingguide.org/organizations/the-liberty-theater

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE VGG WEB SITE
an online giving platform for the Walla Walla Valley area,
with estimated 10% matching funds for online donations through the VGG website.
(slightly lower match for checks and other non-online donations to VGG directly to Blue Mountain Community Foundation, BMCF).
BMCF covers all the card fees.  Your whole donation goes to The Liberty Theater.
But BMCF offers you the option to add the fees to your donation to support them administering the program, and this increases the pool of money for everyone's matching amounts. 

There is no match for donations given directly to The Liberty Theater, they have to go through VGG to receive the match, but we still appreciate direct donations very much!.
This is all part of our Annual Appeal, which is one of our major sources of funds each year. 
We rely on public support in addition to our ticket and concessions sales, especially for movies.
We are mailing a plain newsletter to most of the previous donors to our Annual Appeal.  We don't use any fancy or more expensive fundraising methods, and we only ask you directly once a year.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!  THANK YOU!

You give these gifts to Blue Mountain Community Foundation (BMCF), for our benefit.

or, CHECKS for the TVAC Endowment Fund should be made payable to:
"BMCF - TVAC Endowment Fund" 
Please send these checks directly to:
Blue Mountain Community Foundation
P.O. Box 603
Walla Walla, WA 99362

They can accept other kinds of gifts, for example stocks, land, or grain, if you telephone them to set it up, at 509.529.4371.
​You might also consider a future gift in your estate planning.
​
The TVAC Endowment Fund is owned and managed by BMCF, for the benefit of The Liberty Theater, and we receive a yearly distribution.
​We can never spend the principal, so it lasts indefinitely, which is an advantage of your giving this way. 
This will gradually make us less dependent on yearly donations.

THANK YOU!

Balcony Remodel Project  2019-2024

​1. Improved safety in the front row of the balcony, which was the primary reason for the project. We increased the leg room in the front row to create more space when entering and leaving the row, and this also made more space for your feet when seated. 
 
​2. We added stair nose lighting to improve safety on the new steps up and down from rows.

3. We improved leg room in all the balcony rows by moving the last row back, and distributing the space among the rows.
 
4. We improved visibility of the stage from seats in back rows of the balcony, by raising the rear seats higher.  This created a step up into some rows, with handrails. 

5. We increased seating capacity by 4 seats, and replaced row N with the new seats with cupholders.
