  • Park Theater Trust Initiatives

    Initially called together as a volunteer task force by the City of Lafayette, The Park Theater Trust (TPTT) is a 501(c)(3) Public Benefit corporation. In April 2019, we were awarded seed monies by the Community Foundation of Lafayette (CFL), and in February 2020, we received our formal determination letter from the IRS confirming our tax-exempt status. TPTT has since been the recipient of four additional Excellence Grants by CFL. Primarily due to private donations and grants from family foundations, CFL and other institutions including the City of Lafayette, TPTT raised the $3 million required to purchase the Park Theater property for the community, and closed escrow in December 2021.
