Before the proposal to build the Hastings Performing Arts Center was placed on the ballot, a plan was developed to make the facility financially stable. After much research and consulting, it was decided that the facility would be financed through a combined income stream from the school, ticket sales, sponsorships, rentals, and the interest from endowment funds. In the Spring of 2021 the official campaign was kicked off with the support of the newly formed “Friends of the Hastings Performing Arts Center” non-profit organization (Friends of HPAC). If you are interested in making a donation please review the "Become a Friend," and "Leave a Legacy" tabs to the left. In addition, the Friends of HPAC are also seeking cooperate sponsorships for programming. Finally, there are 20 naming opportunities within the HPAC ranging from $5000 to $1 million. If you have questions or would like more information please contact Carl Schoessel, HPAC Scheduling and Fundraising, at (269) 818-2489 or HPAC@hassk12.org.
