For a century the Rigney has served as a cultural and civic touchstone and a centerpiece of life in downtown Albany, Missouri. The Albany Community Development Corporation is developing plans to restore the iconic Rigney Theater building into a multi-use facility, allowing future generations to continue to create new memories at the Rigney. 

The Albany Legacy Fund received a challenge for a $50,000 matching grant from the Patterson Family Foundation, and we achieved that goal in just two weeks! Every dollar raised will be doubled. 

The Albany Legacy Fund received a second challenge for a $50,000 matching grant from the Parman Family Foundation, in memory of Vance and Avis Parman. This goal was also achieved in two weeks! Every dollar raised will be doubled. 

These funds will be put toward the restoration of the Rigney Theater. While this will not be enough to fully restore the structure, it will be of great assistance. Donations will continue to be accepted at any time, and your continued support is appreciated!
