U.S.: The Citigroup Foundation and Citigroup Inc. Pledge $5 Million to Major Lincoln Center Renovation
 
The Citigroup Foundation and Citigroup Inc. have pledged $5 million over five years to the Bravo Lincoln Center Campaign, the first of several independent redevelopment initiatives to fully modernize Lincoln Center’s concert halls and public spaces, renew its 16-acre campus, and ensure the future of its programs and facilities.
 
“Citigroup is delighted to support a project that will enable Lincoln Center to better serve and showcase some of New York City’s most prominent cultural institutions,” said Charles Prince, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citigroup.
 
“We’re especially honored to be associated with the renovation of Alice Tully Hall, one of the most utilized venues at Lincoln Center,” Prince said. Tully Hall has not had a major renovation since its opening in 1969. “The transformation of Alice Tully Hall, along with the broader renovations throughout the campus, will ensure Lincoln Center remains an artistic treasure for generations to come,” said Prince.
 
Citigroup and the Citigroup Foundation support a variety of arts education programs offered at Lincoln Center. They have also provided more than $29 million in support to cultural institutions worldwide during the last five years.
