Miriam Rosenthal Memorial Trust Fund Logo #Dayton's Foundation for the Arts

July 24th, 2008

The Miriam Rosenthal Memorial Trust Fund (Dayton, Ohio) was established in 1965 for purposes of supporting the arts and cultural life of the greater Dayton area. The trust is named for a former community volunteer who was a catalyst in developing many special projects in the Miami Valley area of Ohio. It is an “open” trust and invites continuing financial support from all interested contributors.

2007/2008 Grant Recipient Highlights
One of the emphases of the Fund has been to underwrite special projects that often have started as dreams of one or more of the local cultural institutions. For example, in support of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, the Rosenthal Trust in recent years has brought to the community such world-renown artists as Yo-Yo Ma, Renee Fleming and Itzhak Perlman. On May 7, 2008, in celebration of the Philharmonic’s 75th Anniversary, the Trust Fund will bring to Dayton for their very first visit, Sir James Galway and Lady Jeanne Galway, perhaps the most well-known flutists in the world today.

This season, the Trust Fund will help CityFolk – launch a new series "Jazz Piano Masters" at the Dayton Art Institute.

And, the Fund is one of the community sponsors of the Victoria Theatre’s educational project "Through the Eyes of a Child: Children and the Holocaust."
