AUNT BETTE’S BUS FUND
provides transportation subsidies to schools and community groups that face financial barriers when making field trips to the theatre. Thanks to ECA’s generous funder, the Elizabeth Ruth Wallace Living Trust (aka "Aunt Bette”), $5,000 in subsidies was awarded to local schools during the school year.
Applications to Aunt Bette’s Bus Fund are accepted on a first‐come, first‐served basis for schools demonstrating need. Approved applicants will be provided with a Bus Scholarship of up to $250, subject to availability. The scholarship will be paid after the performance is attended.
Each school is responsible for submitting the necessary paperwork for reimbursement.
To apply, please complete the application form below and submit to Nick Williamson, Education Coordinator, at Nick@ec4arts.org. The application can also be mailed to Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave N, Edmonds, WA 98020.
