About Us

​​The Morrison Center Endowment Foundation (MCEF) was created in 1985 with a $2.5 million donation from the Harry Morrison Foundation which was matched by the local community for a total of $5 million. Today we have grown to around $15 million. MCEF’s primary goal is to help fund quality performing arts events in the Treasure Valley by subsidizing production costs of local arts groups and sponsoring performances of national and international artists. We are no longer involved in the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts theater operations.
