Thank you so much for your generosity, and for partnering with us in the essential work of the arts.
*Thank you also to everyone who anonymously dropped some cash into our donation jar or bucket at our live shows, or in our raise the roof campaign. If we didn’t have your name, it won’t appear here (or your full total doesn’t reflect these extra gifts), but your contributions are just as needed and appreciated.

We’re proud and grateful to have received an operational grant from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council and the National Endowment for the Arts for Fiscal Year 24, as well as a capital improvement grant to upgrade our lighting and sound equipment. These grants require that we match it with donations from patrons and local businesses. Your gifts to Open Book support the work we do, help us increase our impact in the community, as well as meet our grant requirements. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and well used. Thank you!
We are grateful to the Shubert Foundation for a $15,000 operational grant.
We are grateful to the Michigan Nonprofit Association for $25,000 in COVID relief funding. This money is essential as we continue to rebuild after the financial strain of the pandemic shutdowns.
