Donate Today

The Checkerboard Club

A nod to a supper club that occupied the Bank Building in the 1940s and 50s, The Checkerboard Club is a highly valued group of donors who have chosen to give recurring, monthly gifts at The Colonial. Just like the checkerboard floor that adorns the building today, numerous, repetitive donations make a beautiful impact at our non-profit arts institution.

Recurring gifts are a budget-conscious way to make an impact for our nonprofit and you can opt-out at any time. Establish your monthly gift today and watch your investment in local arts and culture grow! Click the button below and select “Recurring Donation” under “Type of Donation” and specify your gift amount.
