JOIN US IN BUILDING WHAT'S NEXT

The Smith Mountain Lake Center is becoming a reality! With more than $3 million in gifts and commitments secured and a contract signed to purchase the Westlake Cinema building, we've taken a major step toward creating a vibrant community destination for education, entertainment and events. Now, as we prepare for the next phase, your support is more important than ever. We're inviting the community to help raise an additional $750,000 toward renovations and future programming. Every contribution brings us closer to opening the doors to new opportunities for our community.

Gifts of any amount are welcome, and donors who make a qualifying gift or signed pledge of $2,500 or more by November 20, 2026, will be recognized as Founding Members through the Founders Circle, with permanent recognition in the Center.
