Manchester, NH Brady Sullivan Properties has pledged $78,750 towards the Palace Theatre Trust’s project with the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA), which has helped fund the redesign of the theatre entrance with a new system of energy efficient doors and mechanisms for maximum accessibility.

CDFA’s competitive grant program matches viable non-profits with conscientious local businesses to foster community and economic development projects and programs in New Hampshire. CDFA gives a 75% state tax credit for donations that may be applied to the New Hampshire business profit tax, business enterprise tax and/or the insurance premium tax.

Peter Ramsey, president and CEO of the Palace Theatre Trust said, “On behalf of the Palace’s Trustees and the thousands of patrons we serve annually, I deeply appreciate the support we received from Brady Sullivan, which assisted us in completing this important project. Together, we are making Manchester a better place to live, work and raise families, by making the arts more accessible to all.”
