Make Your Impact Before The Year Ends
As we reflect on a year of growth and creativity, we’re deeply grateful for your support. If you’re making end-of-year giving decisions, we hope you’ll consider ArtsNOW among your final gifts this season.
As the year comes to a close, it’s time to embrace the spirit of generosity and make a meaningful impact through end-of-year giving. This period is ideal for individuals, families, and businesses to give back to causes they care about deeply. This is a powerful time for nonprofits, with nearly one-third of giving happening in December across the entire sector.
No matter how you choose to give to ArtsNOW, each gift translates into hands-on arts experiences, teacher support, and resources that help students build creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration skills.
Why Year-End Giving Matters
Across the country, year-end generosity sustains nonprofits. For many organizations, December donations account for 30-40% of one-time online gifts. That surge funds immediate needs and helps set the stage for the year ahead.
At ArtsNOW, your end-of-year gift ensures that young minds have access to arts-integrated learning. It also gives us the momentum to start the new year strong and ready to bring innovative arts experiences into more classrooms.
Tax Benefits of Giving Before December 31
Timing matters. To receive a charitable tax deduction for the year, donations must be made on or before December 31. Online gifts are the fastest way to ensure your gift is processed on time.
If you’re giving through a donor-advised fund or stock transfer, plan ahead as these methods can take extra time to complete. By making your gift before the deadline, you may be eligible for certain tax advantages while also fueling work that directly impacts students. We encourage you to consult your financial advisor or financial institution to understand how giving may benefit your personal situation.
