The Waldo Theatre, which has been closed since 2014 and under renovations and with new board leadership for the past three years, needed to raise $200,000 to complete its $700,000 “Open the Doors” capital campaign and reopen its doors. In February of 2020, an anonymous donor came forward and offered a challenging proposition: if The Waldo could raise $157,000 from community support, the donor would contribute the remaining $43,000. As of the Dec. 31 grant challenge deadline, The Waldo had not only met the required amount, but had in fact exceeded the goal, raising over $182,000 with which to complete renovations.
