Volunteer

Volunteer

There are numerous opportunities for volunteer involvement at the Manhattan Arts Center. You can get involved in a committee, such as the theatre committee, MACademy Youth Theatre or gallery committee, our ushers and house managers are all volunteers, and of course in addition to our volunteer actors there are many backstage support staff.

Sign up to usher, do box office or be a Saturday gallery host here: VolunteerSpot for MAC
All you need is your e-mail address - you do not need to create an account!
Let us know if you would like some training. We will be glad to oblige!

If you'd like to be added to our volunteer list, just call 537-4420 or e-mail office@manhattanarts.org. That's all there is to it! You will then receive information about volunteer opportunities. You decide when and how much you want to do.

Endowment

Endowment

Thanks to generous gifts from community members, MAC now has two small endowments with the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation.
At present, we are not actively seeking further donations towards our endowments as our need for operating funds takes precedence, but it is nevertheless available as a further option for donors.

Over the course of several years, Gene and Doris Grosh donated an enormous amount to the Manhattan Arts Center, not just in dollars but also in the form of time and their talents. In the late 1990s, they offered $100,000 as a challenge grant. The board at the time raised all but $10,000 of that amount. When Gene passed away, it was this $10,000 that Doris wanted to donate, making up the sum to the amount of the donation she and Gene originally intended to make, allowing MAC to establish its first endowment.
