Join an exclusive circle of 15 bold philanthropic leaders who will each pledge $1,000,000+ to complete the Idaho Central Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center. Your legacy will inspire generations.

​

WHY NOW?

For nearly a decade, Spokane Valley Summer Theatre (SVST) has brought Broadway-quality productions to our region — but only for eight short weeks each year. Demand has outgrown our temporary home, and we have just one year left in our current facility.

​​​

The Light the Way Campaign will make possible a world-class, year-round Performing Arts Center — a place where families, students, and our entire community can thrive.

​

COMMUNITY IMPACT:

• $24–$31M annual economic impact projected in the first 10 years.

• $96M construction impact (Bureau of Economic Analysis).

• 50,000 annual attendees = $7.5M–$15M impact (Oxford Economics).

• $5.8M in local wages, labor, and supplies to be infused through SVST.

• Arts education reaching students in schools, colleges, and homeschool groups.

• A permanent hub for theatre, dance, music, and cultural exchange.

• The only professional theatre company of its kind in the Inland Northwest.

 

LEGACY & RECOGNITION:

As one of the 15 Founding Pillars, you will:

• Have your name permanently tied to the Idaho Central Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center.

• Receive prominent recognition inside the new facility.

• Be invited to exclusive events and legacy celebrations.

• Inspire 50,000+ patrons annually and create a cultural landmark that will last for generations.

 

A PROVEN ORGANIZATION:

• Founded in 2015, SVST has tripled its budget, doubled its patrons, and sold out every season.

• Led by award-winning leadership recognized by the Governor of Washington and regional institutions.

• Youth mentored into careers on Broadway, London’s West End, national tours, film, and television.

​

 

CONSTRUCTION STATUS:

• 19% complete (paid in cash)

• $48M construction budget

• $14M already spent

• $4M committed ($2M Washington State Commerce Grants, $1M Semble, $1M pledged donations)

• $28M funding gap remains

• Requires $15M in Pillar donations to unlock $13M in traditional bank financing

 

 

This is your moment to light the way.
We are seeking 15 bold philanthropists to pledge $1,000,000 or more.

Together, we will raise the curtain on a permanent home for the professional performing arts in the region.
