SUPPORT OPTIONS

SHCAC ANNUAL FUND

Your gift to the Annual Fund supports the general operations as well as the greatest needs of the organization. Designated by the Board of Directors, your gift will ensure that the fiscal health and structure of the organization are met and that our programming is supported year-round.

EVENT SPONSORSHIP

As an event sponsor, your business or organization will help support the Community Arts Organization with the production and promotion of one of our biannual community festivals.

Tickets sales alone support just a fraction of what it costs to run a large, regional event.

We have opportunities for sponsorship of Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance, as well as the Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention.

PROGRAM SUPPORT

As a program supporter, your contribution will provide direct support for a program of your choice.

Roots in the Schools brings diverse musical programming to youth in Chatham, Orange, and Durham County schools! This program has provided cultural engagement in our public schools since 2007.

We also take donations in direct support of our events Hoppin’ John Fiddlers Convention and Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance.

In-kind donations are also appreciated. Program needs include everything from craft supplies to musical instruments, and YOUR TIME.
