Youth steal the show at SFAC ‘Arts Day of Giving’
Art Goes Front and Center
Arts Day of Giving a Huge Success
Thanks to all!
The region’s first 24-hour giving challenge, Arts Day of Giving on April 29, 2013, was both a huge success and a demonstration of our community’s generosity and vibrant nonprofit sector.
At the time of writing, tallies are still being verified but more than 3600 donations resulted in over $400,000 to 78 arts organizations in the region, with prorated matches by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, Western Health Advantage, Wells Fargo and others, for a total that will surpass $500,000 to the arts organizations.
