Corporate and Community Giving
The Arts and Education Council is a unique asset in our community. As our region's only united arts fund, the Arts and Education Council is supported entirely by private contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations and community organizations committed to the value and benefit of the arts to our community. Since 1963, the Arts and Education Council has raised and distributed more than $100 million in private support for the arts in our region.
