Even Godâs Love We Deliver had to rename its building in downtown New York the David Geffen Building after he donated $1 million for renovations. And now thereâs going to be a David Geffen Hall in New York, too. Geffen is donating $100 million to Lincoln Center, payable in eight annual installments.
In 2000, the center was named for Sidney Kimmel in recognition of his gift in 1993 and an additional $3 million donation in 1998. The concert hall was named Verizon Hall to recognize contributions totaling $14.5 million in cash, equipment and services from Verizon and the Verizon Foundation.
