Our Theater in the Park Beneficiary is the Lay It Out Foundation

Empowering Bend with Independent Voices and Community Action

A portion of proceeds from the 2026 Theater in the Park performance will go towards the Lay It Out Foundation.

The Lay It Out Foundation is the non-profit arm of Lay It Out, Inc. publisher of The Source, and producer of several community events. We are dedicated to fostering a Central Oregon community that is informed and active. Through our philanthropic efforts, we support individuals and publications in the production of investigative and feature length journalism. We also support non-profits in their efforts to raise the funds they need to keep our community safety net intact.

The media landscape continues to change at an unprecedented rate and the work of the Lay it Out Foundation ensures that regardless of these fluctuations in how news is consumed or produced, there will be a place in Central Oregon where everyone can turn for trusted information. Fulfilling our mission, requires a commitment from both our team at the Foundation and the members of our community. Support the Lay it Out Foundation and help keep news vibrant and local.
