Fox Gives, the Fox Theatre’s philanthropic arm, has received The Georgia Cities Foundation’s (GCF) 2024 Foundation Legacy Partner Award.

The Legacy Partner Award celebrates cities or organizations that have demonstrated dedication to community improvement, economic development, and fostering strong partnerships.

According to a press release, Fox Gives was selected for its sustained and impactful initiatives, including the Fox Gives grants program.

This program provides sizable grants to historic theatres in regions of the state needing urgent or emergency repairs, such as those suffered during floods or fires, as well as their efforts in offering high school students front-row access to entertainment industry careers – from lighting and sound to stage and venue management.

“Our entire Fox Theatre organization is thrilled to receive the inaugural 2024 Legacy Partner award from the Georgia Cities Foundation,” said Leigh Burns, Director of Community Partnerships at Fox Gives. “Receiving this inaugural award from a group of our peers who are dedicated to enhancing the vitality of Georgia’s cities is truly a humbling recognition. This honor further motivates our dedication to fostering community and economic development across the state through the preservation of arts and culture.”
