Choirs, musical theater, school marching bands, opera, jazz bands and orchestras are just some of the non-profit organizations that have benefitted from gifts and grants from the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA). The organization’s president, Lynn Mehl, is happy to announce that applications for gifts and grants are now available on their website at www. PasadenaShowcase.org. The deadline for submitting an application is October 7, 2016.

Last May, PSHA awarded $319,500 to 50 local and regional non-profit organizations and schools. The proceeds from the 2015 Showcase House enabled the organization to continue its legacy of funding music programs throughout the community. During its 68-year history, PSHA has donated more than $20 million to outstanding organizations that enrich the lives of countless people and support the arts throughout the community.

Each year, PSHA awards gifts and grants to a diverse list of local and regional non-profit organizations in support of their efforts in the community. PSHA underwrites concerts to insure that the joy of live music is available to a broad range of audiences. Its support of non-profit organizations enriches the community and provides opportunities for a variety of groups, from students to seniors to learn, enjoy, and grow from their experiences in these programs. Additionally, PSHA has a longstanding history of supporting the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its community outreach programs.
