JOHN P. MURPHY FOUNDATION

Cites Idea Center Innovation in Granting Recent Award

It was recently announced that the John P. Murphy Foundation awarded a grant in the amount of $500,000 in support of the Campaign for the Idea Center at Playhouse Square. The John P. Murphy Foundation has been a generous supporter of both ideastream and Playhouse Square Foundation for many years and its gift to the campaign corresponds with its primary interest in giving to educational, artistic and cultural institutions. The campaign supports the development of the Idea Center as a unique community resource with dedicated space for arts education programs, media production, and the application of digital technology.

Allan Zambie, Executive Vice President and Secretary of the John P. Murphy Foundation, said, "We think this is one of the most innovative projects that we've seen in years and we wanted to give it strong support."
