OUR MISSION: Creating Friendships Through Giving To The Arts. We believe that the arts are spiritual practice, we find meaning in friendships and community, and service to others is our highest calling.
STEP 1: JOIN ARTS FRIENDLY
Join Arts Friendly as an individual or business and list yourself with your community or communities. Arts Friendly members receive Certified Arts Friendly status. Certified Arts Friendly status identifies you as an advocate of the arts in your community. Businesses receive a hyperlink on their listing. We’ll send you a membership decal for your car or business. As a member, you can participate in the Arts Friendly Rankings by giving to arts organizations in your community. Membership renews on an annual basis. You may join one community or as many as you like.
STEP 2: SUPPORT THE ARTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Give to your Community Arts Nonprofits and improve your status in the Arts Friendly Rankings. Your support goes to Community Arts Nonprofits in your local Arts Friendly Community. These arts nonprofits have been vetted and qualified by Arts Friendly. If you are a member of multiple communities, your gift will be split evenly among your communities unless otherwise directed. Your cumulative total for the calendar year determines your status on the Arts Friendly Rankings.
====================
ARTS NONPROFITS: Become A Community Arts Nonprofit
To receive support from your Arts Friendly Community, arts organizations must have nonprofit 501(c)(3) status, a mission dedicated to arts programming, and have a minimum of 5 years of programming history. Support distribution is based on the most recent fiscal year cash income of each Community Arts Nonprofit. Your community support stays in your community and is for operational use. Community Arts Nonprofit status is open to all arts disciplines, including performing, visual, literary, and folk & traditional arts.
