Fundraising Campaign

A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS

Join the Cambria Center to honor our history and secure our future. Make a one-time gift—or a monthly commitment—to ensure the growth and sustainability of our beloved Center. 

Since our start as an artist collective just over 75 years ago, we’ve grown to include theater, film, and classes. Now we’re looking to do even more:  to be open to the community six days a week; to add more classes for children and adults; to become a vital center for music, theater, and film; and to begin new programs. But expanding the arts for our community takes money. Become a donor by making a one-time gift of $300 or more or committing to a monthly donation (of $10 or more) over 30 months to support this major fundraising effort. 

All Arts Ascend Donors will receive an Arts Friend membership for three years to honor their gift or commitment. All Donors will be honored in a special wall plaque installation to be installed at the end of the campaign, and celebrated in annual updates. Donors will also be invited to special events and activities based on donor level. Cambria Center for the Arts is a 501(c)3 organization. Federal Tax ID: 23-7150582



What This Campaign Will Fund

The Arts Ascend campaign seeks to raise $200,000 by the end of 2026 with these goals in mind:

  • $100,000 to broaden access and arts availability to the community—including underwriting a part-time coordinator and being open six days a week.
  • $60,000 for facility improvements and updates—including updating the kitchen facilities, electrical improvements, additional storage, installing blinds and lighting for the Studio gallery, and refurbishing elements of the interior and exterior.
  • $20,000 for expanding community programs—such as more local murals, photo contests and a possible literary festival. 
  • $20,000 to underwrite an expanded set of musical programs—including more robust theatre productions and added learning opportunities.

If you are interested in directing a gift to fund a specific activity or want to know more about our plans, please contact the Center.
