In Response, A Group of Artists, Arts Organizations and Concerned Citizens Came Together to Identify New and Innovative Ways to Sustain The Arts for Future Generations. A Need Was Identified In The Community for An Organization That Existed to Stand In The Gapsone That Existed to Collaborate, Find and Foster New Opportunities, and Broadly Work to Build The Health of The Local Art Scene.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
