The Count Basie Theatre was the recipient of two recently awarded grants, including $15,000 from the OceanFirst Foundation. The grant, which completes a two year grant cycle for arts and cultural institutions, will be used for theatre operations and necessary renovations. Since 2009, the Foundation has granted $60,000 to the Count Basie Theatre.
The Basie also received an $8,000 grant from the Mary Owen Borden Foundation for its support of mission-driven programming; in particular the Outreach program within Red Bank Borough’s Public Schools. In the past three years, the Borden Foundation has granted the Basie in excess of $36,000.
