About the Grand Foundation

The Grand Foundation is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts and making the arts accessible to our Tracy community.

Through the support of our members, donors, sponsors, and volunteers, the Grand Foundation helps fund performances, concerts, exhibitions, art and music classes, and programs that serve children, families, seniors, and adults with special needs. We also help preserve and provide technical resources for one of Tracy's most treasured community spaces.

Every membership and donation helps ensure the Grand continues to inspire creativity, bring people together, and provide opportunities for our community to experience the arts for years to come.
