National Assembly of State Arts Agencies

For 56 amazing years NASAA has been strengthening our nation’s 56 state and jurisdictional arts agencies—and we’re celebrating with our biggest year-end matching gift campaign yet! ? From now until December 31, every dollar you donate will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $56,000. Together, we can raise $112,000 to support NASAA and state arts agencies—ensuring the arts thrive in every community! ? Guess what? We’re already 20% of the way there, thanks to the incredible $11,000 raised at the NASAA Assembly 2024 conference last month. Let’s keep the momentum going! ? Donate now and double your impact. ? https://lnkd.in/eCx6cpMH ? Thank you! ??
