The Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, which supports nonprofits nationwide at the intersection of music, public space, and community building, has announced that Colusa County Arts Council has been awarded a multi-year Levitt AMP Grant Award of $90,000 in matching funds to present a free outdoor music series at Veterans Memorial Park in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Reflecting the Levitt Foundation’s commitment that all Levitt projects be community-driven, the 2023-2025 grant recipients were selected following a public voting period and comprehensive internal review process.
Combining 15 new and 18 returning grantees, the Levitt Foundation will award $3 million dollars to nonprofits serving small to mid-sized towns and cities across the U.S. as part of the Levitt AMP Music Series, featuring a diverse lineup of artists, music genres, and cultural programming to create inclusive experiences that are welcoming to all members of the community.
The first Levitt grant presented by the Colusa County Arts Council at Veterans Memorial Park, marks the next chapter in the agricultural city’s efforts to amplify community pride in a region hit by wildfires and drought.
The Levitt AMP Colusa Music Series will elevate and expand an existing concert series, bringing people together from throughout the area to enjoy music and inspire economic development in the downtown business district. â–
