NASHVILLE, Ind.– The Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Indiana, announced that a total of $252,500 is being given back to the community and county.
The venue disperses its operating profit to the Brown County Community Foundation (BCCF) and the Brown County Commissioners to distribute to the community and county. Over the past three years, the Music Center has distributed a total of $396,960 to the BCCF and $414,320 to the Brown County Government.
The combination of operating earnings and a voluntary "Payment in Lieu of Taxes" (P.I.L.O.T) helps ensure the Brown County Government continues a successful and healthy relationship with the Music Center.
As part of the agreement, when BCCF receives funds, the money is split between supporting arts/culture and the greatest community needs at that time. A portion of these funds is invested into a long-term endowment, so that the income from that endowment generates grant money each year. The remaining portion of the Music Center funds is handed out through grants.
Since its inception in 2019, the venue has distributed over $40,000 to various Brown County organizations, including Mother’s Cupboard Community Kitchen, Brown County Christkindl Market, Brown County Humane Society, Brown County Sheriff’s Shop With A Cop, Brown County Veterans Affairs, the Brown County Pump Track, and various arts groups.
While averaging over 80,000 guests the past three years, the Brown County Music Center’s goal to create and generate meaningful economic impact for the surrounding restaurants, hotels, and local businesses comes to life regularly.
