To make the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts a reality, The Lexington Foundation sought to raise $3.5 million dollars to purchase the property, perform renovations and start business operations. The Foundation has a $1 million mortgage and the campaign for this mortgage payoff is ongoing. Every little bit helps us create a center that the entire community can enjoy and be proud of.

We are asking our community for their support in the form of one-time gifts. Donations to this project will help ensure that this arts center continues to grow to fit the community’s needs. While the goal is that the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts will eventually become self-sustaining, we will continuously seek donations in order to make capital improvements and expand educational and artistic offerings.

Opportunities for Support
The Lexington Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves Lexington by providing philanthropic support, has created the following ways for interested individuals, families, corporations and foundations to help provide the financial resources necessary to meet the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts’ programmatic, facility and endowment goals.

We are pleased to offer both recognition and benefits to our generous supporters. A range of naming oppor­tu­ni­ties is available to let donors pay trib­ute to their rela­tion­ship with Lexington or to honor and rec­og­nize some­one spe­cial in their lives.
