FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL THE BRANNAN CENTER OPEN?
The re-construction process will last between 24 and 30 months, both weather and funding dependent.
HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE CAUSE?
100% of your donation goes towards the creation and/or operation of the Brannan Center, a non-profit 501c(3) organization created and managed locally.
CAN I ORGANIZE A FUNDRAISING EVENT AT MY HOME?
Yes. Contact us ( info@brannancenter.org ) for guidance and assistance.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE TO VOLUNTEER?
The minimum age to volunteer is 18. We expect to have active programs for student volunteers assisting with cultural and community events. We solicit volunteer help from people of all ages interested to support the Brannan mission of Community, Arts, and Service for our community.
WHAT IS ENTAILED WITH THIS RENOVATION AND WHY WILL IT TAKE SO LONG?
The building requires a massive overhaul to bring it up to contemporary codes and standards. Wiring, plumbing, ADA, power, sewer, new restrooms, a catering kitchen, windows, backup power, networking, and audio/visual are just a few of the major categories. It's a solid but old building and a firm schedule is impossible at this point.
HOW CAN WE LEARN ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND RECEIVE REGULAR UPDATES?
Part of our permit with the City requires regular updates to the City, but also to the community. We will post those updates, and answers to common questions (FAQs) on this website to ensure everyone has access to the same information. Send your name and e-mail address to info@brannancenter.org to register for regular e-mail updates, or visit the website.
