Interlochen Center for the Arts 2021 Annual Report

Your Philanthropy and Its Impact

Dear Interlochen Supporters,

This year was marked by the innovative and resilient spirit of Interlochen. New ideas, original thinking, and hard work in the face of long odds— Interlochen traditions—were leveraged fully thanks to your steadfast support. A remarkable 759 of you supported our Emergency Response Fund with gifts totalling nearly $2.2 million! You answered the call to help us keep our students, faculty, and staff safe during the pandemic. You also helped fully fund the new Dance Center, the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow House residence hall, and visiting artist suites, completing our campus master plan. Your generosity allows us to shift our fundraising focus to investments in our people and programs in the years ahead. You also are among the 7,595 donors who made one of the 26,499 gifts this year supporting the Annual Fund, endowed or named annual scholarships, or Interlochen Public Radio. In the following pages, we highlight some of you as a way to say thank you to all of you. Plus, you will read about the love of Interlochen and commitment to volunteerism at Interlochen that led to a generous planned gift. Interlochen supporters celebrate the importance of the arts. Together, we nurture that creative spark in young artists so that they can find their purpose and enrich our world. Thank you for your loyal and generous support. In a year like no other, you helped create a bridge to a brighter future for Interlochen and for young artists.

Gratefully,

John Bogley Vice President, Philanthropy
