30th Anniversary Fundraiser

Artwork by Anthony Case

Yes, another milestone has been reached! The New Deal Cafe celebrates its 30th anniversary this year (1995 – 2025). We’ve seen thirty incredible years as “Greenbelt’s Living Room” and plans for an October celebration are well underway. Let’s come together once again as a community to reflect on the incredible legacy of the “little Cafe that could” and the lasting impact it has had on the Greenbelt community.

Our 25th anniversary celebration was a blast, and we are looking to top that with a THREE day celebration, including a day of dancing and partying in the Roosevelt Center on Saturday, October 4.

Your donations will go a long way to make all this happen.

Why this fundraiser? The newly-formed anniversary celebration committee needs your financial help to book bands, create some cool swag, and a few other surprises. We invite you to give at one of 4 levels and, if you choose to share your name, we will recognize you in our communications throughout the celebration.

  1. The Founders Club: Give $19.95 in honor of our founding year, 1995.
  2. The Double Founders Club: Give $39.50
  3. The Triple Founders Club: Give $59.85
  4. The QUADRUPLE Founders Club: Give $79.50

You may give any other amount you like. These are just suggested donations. And any amount you give will help make the 30-year celebration that much more successful.

And with our newly granted 501(c)3 status, ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

We’ve been honored to have been supported by the time, talent, and treasure of a strong community of members and friends. These gifts have been vital to our survival and success and are critical to ensuring Greenbelt’s Living Room remains a unique and welcoming home for music, arts, and culture. If you’ve spent time at the New Deal, or simply believe that the world needs more community-based social spaces, we would greatly appreciate your support.

Visit our GoFundMe page today – After all, you only turn 30 once!

Donated dollars in excess of the celebration’s cost will be used in support of the day-to-day operations of the Cafe’s music and arts program.
