Our donors at The Lost Colony are vital to the success of the performance. Tickets to The Lost Colony cover less than 50% of our annual operating costs. We depend on donations large and small to make our show happen year after year. Since 1937, we have been fortunate enough to have thousands of individuals donate to our Annual Fund because they believe in a Dream. A Dream of hope, freedom, education, and opportunity-the principles upon which the Roanoke Island Historical Association have built to create the organization as we see it today.
The Roanoke Island Historical Association (RIHA) is humbled to have the support of these individuals, and the list below is just a fraction of those who have contributed to the vision of RIHA over the last two years. To our Donors and Members-Thank You!
No donation is too small. The contribution of our donors go towards the annual production of The Lost Colony, improving the housing of our performers and technicians at Morrison Grove, educational programs that we hope to build up in the future, and so much more. If you would like to become a donor and help carry on the legacy of The Lost Colony, please visit our Membership Page for further details.
