BCPAC has been very fortunate to receive the annual donor and corporate support that it does. Each year these donor gifts are used to cover the costs associated with the high-caliber shows we bring to Bradford as well as arts in education activities and programs featuring local artists. For BCPAC to continue to grow we need to ensure a consistent, steady funding source that an endowment will provide. Annual donor support will continue to be important in keeping the quality and affordable ticket prices for which BCPAC is known. Endowment income will help BCPAC like a good savings or investment program, allowing the organization to plan in a consistent way for certain programs and for the future. The fund was created for the hiring of a full time Executive Director and support staff to ensure BCPAC's future operations.
