Waterloo Region Community Foundation
The Waterloo Regional Community Foundation has been extremely generous to Ayr Community Theatre! In 2023, we were awarded two grants in the amount of $5,000 each. Half of the money was granted through three organizations and applied to our costs associated with 'Clue The Musical' (Anonymous Fund $3,200.00 Performing Arts Fund $1,400.00 and Ashley MacIsaac Fund $400.00). The other half (Anonymous Fund $5,000.00) will go towards costs incurred with Brigadoon. It is because of the support of this wonderful organization that we are able to embark on this journey and remain committed to providing exceptional artistic experiences to our community.
