Optional Cultural Investment Fund

Bangor is currently in the midst of a notable cultural and economic expansion. Arguably, the catalyst for this economic growth, particularly in the citys Downtown area, has been the Waterfront revitalization project, coupled with private sector investment as well the growing cluster of museums, performance art venues and other cultural organizations and activities. In an effort to assist this expansion and ensure that Bangor is one of the most pleasant and exciting places to live, the City is implementing a new "Optional Cultural Investment Fund" supported by citizens' voluntary donations. The entirety of these donations will go to the Commission for Cultural Development and will benefit projects focusing on promoting arts and culture in the City. Since 2005, the Commission has funded initiatives and organizations like the American Folk Festival, The Penobscot Theatre, the Downtown Countdown, the Bangor Book Festival, the Maine Discovery Museum and many more. The Commission meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 8:30am at City Hall. The public is encouraged to attend and be an active part of the Citys cultural growth. To learn more about the Commission and its work, please visit www.bangormaine.gov/culturalcommission. If you would like to make a donation, please return the completed form and a check to the address below. All donation amounts will be accepted. Your donation will be tax deductible to the full extent allowed by the IRS.
