Cultural Alliance to Provide $25,000 Arts Match Stretch Pool for Arts and Culture During Give Local York

by | Mar 22, 2022 | 0 comments

York, PA – To promote support for the arts during the Give Local York one-day online giving campaign on May 6, 2022, The Cultural Alliance of York County is providing a $25,000 Arts Match Stretch pool for York-based arts & culture organizations.

The Cultural Alliance Arts Match is available to participating Give Local York 501(c)3 organizations with arts & culture as their primary mission. The Cultural Alliance Arts Match pool will provide a 1:1 match of all qualifying online gifts made through the givelocalyork.org website on May 6, 2022, with a maximum of $2,500 total match available per arts participant.

“As we continue to move out of COVID and back into the world, it’s still the arts and cultural events we’re missing and seeking out the most,” said Kate Harmon, Give Day Coordinator for Give Local York. “And as these organizations work to bring back our old favorite events and new ones without the support of the past years, it’s imperative that we as a community step up to help bring them back – whether it be with our money or our volunteering. We are so grateful for organizations like the Cultural Alliance, and all of the donors across the County, who see now more than ever is the time to work together to lift up the arts & culture and those who create it.”

The deadline for arts organizations to sign up to participate in Give Local York and qualify for the Cultural Alliance Arts Match stretch pool is March 25th, 2022. For more information on Give Local York and to register, visit www.givelocalyork.org
