Our good friends Alison Nowak and Bob Cane generously donated $25,000 to VAE and wanted us to use it to encourage others to match it with another $25,000. Their support energized us to reach out to friends near and far to help us reach our goal of $50,000.
In the drawing here, you can see the silo is already filling up with $10,250.00! We're almost halfway there.
Any amount will help us and all donations will make a difference!
All $50,000 will directly support VAE’s infrastructure
and the creation of free, participatory community programming.
Support for our core mission is vital.
This campaign comes at a time when there is enormous uncertainty in federal arts funding, particularly for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, both of which help our state (The Vermont Arts Council and VAE.
