Become a Sustainer!

We invite you to join us as a sustaining donor for as little as $10/month. Doing so provides the foundational support we need to ensure our community continues to have a safe and inclusive space where people can grow as artists and as humans.

Your sustaining donation helps us:
- Offer scholarships, so that everyone in our community can connect with their inner artist
- Employ youth through our Creative Community Apprenticeship
- Grow our programs beyond the studio
​
Donors automatically receive a sustainer thank you gift when they make a minimum recurring gift of $10/month or $100/year.
Your Thank You Gift!
Set of 5 "Made at heARTS" Collaborative Art note cards valued at $12. This gift will be sent your way after your initial commitment and we will deduct $12 from your tax deductible amount on your first annual giving statement.

DONATE MATERIALS + Equipment
Since our inception, heARTS has been a second home for the many well-intentioned, but too often neglected, art supplies from people's closets. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we rarely need to purchase materials for the studio, freeing up valuable resources for our operational and program expenses.

As a nonprofit organization, we can provide a receipt for your in-kind donations, however, due to tax regulations, we are unable to provide a monetary value for your donation. 

Supplies can be dropped off during Open Studio hours, or you can make alternative arrangements through our contact form.
