Our first grant and open house

We have the great pleasure of announcing our first grant as a not-for-profit community organization. We received the news this past week from the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation. They are awarding Second Stage | Amherst a very generous $5,250 grant to be used for lighting and sound equipment, as well as other expenses for the coming season and for future performances.

The Greater Lynchburg Community Trust exists to promote local philanthropy and to simplify the process of giving. The Trust receives and manages permanent gifts for the perpetual benefit of the Greater Lynchburg area. Needs served are broad in scope including human services to children, youth, the needy, and the elderly; education; health; the arts; and the humanities!

Thank you one and all for attending the Open House and public meeting in June. Many of you are eager to help start work on the building and the individual rental work spaces are in demand.

You can read more about rental possibilities here. Remember to think of our larger rooms, too, for occasional rentals for meetings, lectures, family events or even weddings! You can view and download a PDF of the floor plan here.

If you would like to sign up to help repair our new home, please see the to-do list on the website. You can contact us through our website to volunteer.
