“We are thrilled that the DP&L Foundation’s support has helped us achieve our goal to begin construction. We know that its customers from the greater Dayton region will enjoy the benefits of the Levitt Pavilion,” D. Jeff Ireland, Friend of Levitt Dayton board chair, said.
The DP&L Foundation created signature grants in 2013 to provide non-profit organizations the opportunity to request funding for larger projects. Up until 2016, the foundation provided $2.3 million in signature grants to 15 organizations, with Levitt Pavilion Dayton becoming the new addition to the list.
