CCPA Access Fund Offers Subsidized Rental Rates for Non-Profits

The Coralville Center for the Performing Arts is offering subsidized rental rates for 501(c)3 non-profit organizations with annual budgets below $100,000 through the CCPA Access Fund.

Started with funding from the Community Foundation of Johnson County, the CCPA Access fund is designed to maximize the affordability of the CCPA and to encourage use of the facility by small non-profit performing groups and other organizations. Proceeds from CCPA Apron Series concerts have also benefited the fund.

Subsidies of 25-50% of rental costs are available; priority is given to applicants who demonstrate flexibility in scheduling, ability to schedule events at non-peak times, and a willingness to work cooperatively with other CCPA renters. Previous subsidy recipients include Young Footliters Theater and Girls on the Run of Eastern Iowa.

Interested organizations should contact the CCPA at 319.248.9370 or coralvillearts@ci.coralville.ia.us for more information.

Owned and operated by the City of Coralville, the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts is dedicated to enriching the community and contributing to the vitality of Coralville by offering an accessible, affordable venue for a variety of performances, presentations, and public and private events. The 472 seat theater opened August 26, 2011 and has hosted performances from City Circle Acting Company, Orchestra Iowa, Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre, Dan Knight, Lola Astanova, Lorie Line, Judy Carmichael, Jim McDonough, Nolte Academy of Dance, and many others. Coralville schools are also able to use the Center free of charge up to three times per year; 13 school events took place at the Center in 2012. The Center was named 2012 Member of the Year by the Iowa City/Coralville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
