The Gables Community Partnership Program
Part of our mission is to give back to the community. We recognize that our effort will have a force multiplier effect when we leverage local non-profit organizations and for profit businesses. Hence, we created The Gables Community Partnership Program.
Our community Partners
Barrio Alegria
Barrio Alegria is a community engagement organization that utilizes the arts to create transformations in individuals to help them transform their communities.
This means that we utilize the arts to build, empower, and strengthen communities through individuals. We dance, we act, and we paint, but most importantly we care about the stories of those that are helping create safe spaces for vulnerable community members.
Weaved into our programs are storytelling systems that measure our results.
Berks Arts Council
Through the creation and support of varying art events, community collaborations and grants, Berks Arts positively impacts our community cultural and economic well-being. The mission of the Berks Arts is to inspire, engage and unite our community through arts education, collaboration and presentation.
Our vision is to support community and economic growth, promote positive change and create a more connected community. Today, in everything Berks Arts does and supports, we seek to make Berks County, PA a more creative, more desirable, and a more resilient community.

Each family is treated with respect and love, while expectations are high, we understand each family comes to us from differing backgrounds, levels of education, and family dynamics.
Life Church
What makes Life Church so unique? We like to think it’s our team approach to ministry. At Life Church we believe that everyone is unique, endowed with gifts, talents and abilities to be shared with others. By doing so, we not only meet the varied needs of those “within” the church, but “outside” the church as well. It’s true: Together Everyone Accomplishes More!

Reading Musical Foundation
Established in 1926 by a team of local music enthusiasts who recognized the importance of ensuring our community’s cultural health, RMF has been supporting music education, preservation and local music presenters for nearly 90 years. Their dedication, passion for music and our community, and willingness to “play” by working hard set the standard for RMF.
RMF is a public non-profit foundation supported primarily by you – individuals, businesses and partner foundations. The full 100% of your contributions are reinvested in support of music education and outreach programs, music presenters and concert events in Berks County. In addition, RMF is by far the largest source of financial assistance for committed county music students who audition on merit or demonstrate financial need.
ReadingFilmFEST
ReadingFilmFEST was created by filmmakers for filmmakers and film lovers. We understand the importance of festivals in creating opportunities for filmmakers to meet their audiences, network with other professionals and promote their films. By supporting filmmakers, we’ve learned that our audience benefits by being able to engage in truly meaningful dialogue with the creators of film.
ReadingFilmFEST welcomes filmmakers from the Mid-Atlantic region and around the world! Last year’s visiting filmmakers gave us rave reviews for film quality, hospitality and locations! Whether or not you have a film to our festival, we encourage you to hang out in Reading and see what all the fuss is about!
We’re a small city. We get struggle. We appreciate the big efforts made by small filmmakers.
