HELP SHAPE SARASOTA’S CREATIVE FUTURE

We champion the arts at the local and state level to protect funding, shape policy, and strengthen Sarasota’s economy. The arts generate jobs, support small businesses, and drive cultural tourism—all sustained by donors like you.

Your gift helps the arts ignite creativity and innovation in all of us. They make us healthier, happier individuals and better neighbors—strengthening the social fabric of our community and enriching everyday life.

We work to make the arts reachable for everyone—lowering barriers, amplifying diverse voices, and connecting residents with experiences that reflect our whole community.

Your support ensures the arts remain a pillar of Sarasota for years to come—nurturing artists and organizations, strengthening infrastructure, and building resilient cultural ecosystems.

We offer multiple ways to contribute, including credit card donations, donor-advised funds (DAF), qualified charitable distributions (QCD), and stock donations. For any questions about supporting through methods other than credit card, please feel free to contact Aude Mondé at aude@sarasotaarts.org or (941) 365-5118 ext. 304.
