FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
JOIN US IN
There’s a famous old saying about country music: “all you need is three chords and the truth.” And that’s where you come in.
We would love for you to be a part of this notable undertaking. To walk alongside legends, helping to carry their exceptional personas forward to new generations. To help us endow the strings to tell the stories of a genre steeped in generational folk traditions, a little bit of twang, and a whole lot of spangles.
FUNDING NEEDS
The Congress of Country Music needs your help to reach our $50 million goal. This funding will help finish phase 3 of construction on the Museum and Community Hall, as well as fund our endowment to make sure country music culture is conserved and furthered for generations to come.

WHERE ARE WE NOW
COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION: ELLIS THEATER
If these walls could talk. Built in the 1920s, the Ellis Theater has been the home of entertainment for generations of theatergoers. Vivid plays. Saturday matinees. Stolen kisses in the balcony. History that may not be repeated, but lives on in countless memories in our community. Now, this iconic theater has been restored to its former glory and stands ready to plant those memories in the hearts of a whole new generation of concert goers.
THE WAREHOUSE
In 2013, Neshoba County donated the old Coca-Cola building in downtown Philadelphia to house Marty’s collection and archives. The vision for this historic space is to make it available for an offsite classroom, working areas during songwriting camps, a staging space for assembling or disassembling exhibits, rehearsal space, a broadcast facility, conferences, offsite event space, or storage space for gift shop inventory.
