Give to the Historic Tivoli Theatre
Your Support Keeps the Screen Lit and the Doors Open
The Historic Tivoli Theatre is more than a movie house—it is a community gathering place, a cultural landmark, and a shared experience for audiences of all ages. Your generosity allows us to preserve this historic venue while continuing to offer affordable entertainment, special events, and meaningful programming year-round. At this time, supporters may direct their gifts to one of four key areas of giving:
Donations can be made in-person at the Tivoli or mailed to Spencer Tivoli, PO Box 408, Spencer, IN 47460. We also have a crowdfunding account set up at the Owen County Community Foundation for the Projector - donations for that can be made at https://owencountycf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/grant?grant_id=20934
General Operations

Projector Fund
Projecting Better Days
Fund Request: $93,284.75
Our aging projection system has experienced intermittent technical failures, making replacement a critical priority. Gifts to the Projector Fund directly support the purchase of a modern laser projector that will provide brighter images, accurate color, improved reliability, and reduced maintenance costs.
This investment protects the moviegoing experience and ensures the Tivoli can meet modern exhibition standards for years to come.
