Fox Gives helps revitalize downtown districts by rehabilitating architecturally significant historic landmark buildings, like our own here at 660 Peachtree Street in midtown Atlanta. Fox Gives' success is often part of larger partnered successes through local and regional non-profit and government organizations. The rehabilitation of historic buildings, especially theatres, also creates jobs and retains and grows the arts in large and small cities.
A vibrant theater thrives as the cornerstone of a historic downtown district lined with bustling shops, favorite restaurants, cocktail bars, and plenty of parking – all of whom benefit immeasurably from a season of sold-out shows. From creating new jobs, both within the theater and in surrounding businesses, to helping revitalize declining downtown districts, restoring historic theatre venues often results in saving much more than a historic structure. The Fox Theatre works to help these struggling theaters build a framework of support that we hope sustains beloved local landmarks, as well as the businesses and communities that surround them, for generations to come.
Since its inception, the Fox Theatre has collaborated on more than 96 historic theatre projects and contributed more than $4.2 million in grant funds in theatres across Georgia. We also offer support to non-historic theatres through Georgia Presenters and other technical assistance.
