Become A Dream Maker on Giving Tuesday
Each year, on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, nonprofits across the country come together to inspire people to support the causes they care about. Instead of focusing only on spending, Giving Tuesday is a time to pause, give back, and help strengthen our communities.
Philanthropy helps fuel the remarkable impact of the arts and cultural sectors, and the Arts and Science Council is committed to serving as a beloved community partner in these efforts.
And now, we need your help.
This Giving Tuesday, ASC invites you to join us in our mission to help us build a more inclusive, sustainable, and connected cultural community. As Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s local arts agency, we believe that the arts, sciences, and history create a sense of belonging for all residents.
Just as residents can rely on ASC for accessible programming, artists and creatives across Charlotte-Mecklenburg can trust that, as their local arts agency, the Arts & Science Council is committed to investing in the region’s creative ecosystem.
Much of ASC’s programmatic funding comes from city, county, and state support, which we are proud to steward on behalf of the community.
However, private donations make it possible for us to fuel programs and initiatives that public funding alone cannot support.
Private contributions sustain and enhance the work that keeps ASC strong and responsive to emerging cultural needs in our region. Your support helps ASC connect artists with opportunities, invest in emerging leaders, engage volunteers, and produce innovative events such as Midnight Marathon, our premier performance-art fundraiser.
This year, you have the unique opportunity to become a dream maker and support the creative visions that drive our region’s cultural growth. Your gift ensures ASC can continue nurturing a vibrant, inclusive, creative ecosystem for Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
On Giving Tuesday (December 2nd), support the Arts & Science Council and help our community remain a regional arts powerhouse.
