  • DONATE NOW! The Arts Center's Annual Fund and Scholarship Fund are vital fundraising appeals for gifts that support our mission to build the arts while enriching our community.

  • Unrestricted Gifts. These gifts are particularly helpful for the Arts Center and are used to support myriad operational and programmatic costs. Unrestricted gifts can be made by cash, credit card, check, or through donation of stock or other means. For more information, please contact Lara Shelton by e-mail or telephone 727-822-7872, ext. 15.
  • Restricted Gifts. These gifts support specific programs or efforts specified by the donor. Choices can include exhibitions or education programs, special events, or specific departments such as Marketing and can be made by cash, credit card, check, or through donation of stock. Contact Lara Shelton by e-mail or telephone 727-822-7872, ext. 15 for answers to questions about restricted gifts.
  • Grants and Gifts. If you are involved in a private or family foundation, corporate foundation, or public entity that grants funds or makes gifts to charitable and educational institutions such as the Arts Center, we would be pleased to speak with you and provide you with information about what we do. For more information, contact Lara Shelton by e-mail or telephone 727-822-7872, ext. 15.
  • Sponsorship. The Arts Center is pleased to offer exciting sponsorship opportunities for exhibitions, educational programs, and special events.

  • Employer Matching Gifts. Matching gifts are a wonderful way to significantly increase the benefit your contribution has for the Arts Center and be recognized for both your support and your company's.

  • Stock Gifts. Gifts of stocks can be made to the Arts Center through Raymond James & Associates. The Arts Center is notified of the stock gift by Raymond James then directs them to sell the stock. The day that the stock is sold via Raymond James determines the value of the donation, the proceeds of which can fund membership(s), an unrestricted gift, a restricted gift, or a gift to the Capital Campaign. If you have interest in making a stock gift to the Arts Center please contact Sean Goodrich at Raymond James at telephone 727-567-2667 or email Sean.
  • Planned Gifts. These gifts involve the expertise of a professional (CPA, financial planner, attorney, etc.) with the donor's direction, and are a promise by a donor (during his or her lifetime or as the result of a bequest) to contribute a specified amount of money, and/or certain types of tangible personal property to a charity or public institution such as the Arts Center. For information about different kinds of planned gifts contact Evelyn Craft or call 727-822-7872.
  • Gifts In Kind. There are many examples of what can be considered a gift in kind, which are gifts of products and/or objects that are useful to the Arts Center in achieving its mission. For more information about making a gift in kind, contact Paula Parrish or call 727-822-7872, ext. 16.
