Your Gift, a Million Returns!

Your Gift Makes an Impact
There are a million stories to tell of individuals – adults and children – touched by the arts in some way each year. And there are thousands of stories of The Makers – people creating and/or supporting art to make positive changes in our community. Through A&E’s “One Gift. A Million Returns!” campaign, we’d like to introduce you to the "Makers" who participate in or promote the arts in different ways.
As a donor to A&E you, too, are a Maker: a maker of opportunity, meaning and beauty; of academic success and higher graduation rates; of raised self-esteem and creative thinking skills; of neighborhood sustainability and economic growth.
Read the stories about our community's Makers, the arts’ impact on our region’s education and economy and the organizations your contribution supports.
