263 Leadership Fund
The Community Foundation is developing Fish Ladder Music Park, a one-of-a-kind riverfront performance space at Lansing’s historic Brenke Fish Ladder and Burchard Park. Inspired by past events like Dam Jam, this project will transform an underused landmark into a vibrant venue with a stage, theatre-style seating, lighting, sound, and inclusive amenities like an “electric forest” and accessible walkways. Architectural plans are complete, a state appropriation has been secured, and all donations are now being matched dollar-for-dollar.
