Donate to the Crandell

Celebrate the Crandell and ensure its full operation as a cherished community resource that brings the world to Chatham through film.

Every dollar makes a difference. Ticket sales only cover about 35% of our operating costs. Your 100% tax deductible gift helps make up the difference and ensures that we can provide unique programming to meet the community’s needs and interests.

  • Our historic, independent, nonprofit, single-screen cinema, the “jewel of Main Street” and an anchor for the area’s businesses and the community’s quality of life.
  • Movies curated for your enjoyment, some of which you can’t see elsewhere. Most FilmColumbia films screen here first before their wide release.
  • Keeping the screens free of national commercials.
