Keep the doors open. Keep community growing.

Your gift makes room for community.

Since 1878, the Laramie Plains Civic Center has been a place for people to gather, create, learn, play, and connect. Today, this historic building is home to more than 95 tenant organizations and supports artists, nonprofits, and cultural experiences that help make Laramie a more vibrant place to live.

But a building like this doesn’t take care of itself.

Your support helps us preserve this historic place, keep space accessible for the people and organizations who bring it to life, and ensure the Civic Center remains a place for creativity, connection, and community for generations to come.

A gift to the Civic Center is a gift to Laramie.

Your generosity helps make possible:

• Space for creativity. Affordable studios, rehearsal rooms, galleries, and gathering spaces where artists and creative organizations can do their work.

• Room for everyone. Places to play, learn, meet, celebrate, and connect with neighbors.

• Arts and culture. Accessible programming and opportunities for artists to share their work with our community.

• A future for a historic building. The maintenance, repairs, and improvements that keep this nearly 150-year-old community landmark safe, functional, and welcoming.

• A stronger community. A home for nonprofits, small businesses, community services, and the people who make Laramie what it is.

Every gift helps keep this work moving forward. Thank you for being part of it.

Small gifts. Lasting impact.

Monthly gifts provide dependable support for the everyday work of caring for this building, supporting its tenants, and keeping community spaces available throughout the year.

Whether you give $18.78 a month or choose another amount that works for you, your recurring gift helps make the future a little more secure.

1878 Club members receive recognition in our annual reports and fundraising materials, a place on the donor wall in the Gryphon Theatre lobby, and early updates about projects, events, and the impact of their support.

Make community part of your monthly giving.

The 1878 Club Legacy Circle honors those who have included the Laramie Plains Civic Center in their will, trust, or estate plans. These visionary supporters are helping ensure the long-term future of our historic building, its creative tenants, and the broader community we serve.
