We’re paying it forward 100% on Giving Tuesday!
100% of funds raised this Giving Tuesday will go to our Scholarship Fund
December 3 marks Giving Tuesday—a global day of generosity that kicks off the holiday season.
This year, please consider contributing to Richmond Art Center’s Scholarship Fund. Your support helps students access no/low-cost art classes and attend summer camp for free.
“It is very rewarding to see our Richmond community have access to learning new artforms and blossom in these classes regardless of their financial circumstances.” – Elaine Moreno-Jolly, Scholarship Program Manager
Over the past twelve months, we awarded over $34,000 in scholarships to more than 130 children, youth, and adults. Now, our fund is running low, and we need to raise at least that much to continue these opportunities in 2025.
Ways you can contribute:
- Donate Online: https://therac.app.neoncrm.com/forms/scholarship-fund
- Mail a Check: Richmond Art Center, 2540 Barrett Ave, Richmond, CA 94804 (note on the check’s memo line “Scholarship Fund”)
More About Our Scholarship Fund: Making art accessible to all is at the core of Richmond Art Center’s mission. Through our needs-based Art Boost scholarships, we offer free art classes and camps to community members who cannot afford them, including children, teens, and adults. We also collaborate with community partners – like the West Contra Costa Unified School District – to reach under-resourced populations, ensuring they can participate in our programs at no cost. In 2024, we awarded over 100 scholarships to youth and adults. Scholarship funds cover teacher salaries, materials, and some operating costs.
Thank you for being part of Richmond Art Center’s creative community. Your generosity ensures our programs remain accessible to everyone!
