Ways to Give
Donate
Your support is more vital than ever as we weather the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. With cancelled events and programs during the health crisis, the HV Arts Council relies on the support of our community to help sustain our operations during this difficult time.
Work is underway to continue as many original programs and events as possible adapting them for digital outreach or with innovative social distancing. Plus, we’re also adding a few new ones!
Gifts of any size make a difference, and are fully tax-deductible.
When we can gather again safely in person, your gift will help us continue the mission of “celebrating art in the everyday”. Make a gift today using any major credit card. Thank you!

When making a celebratory gift, please provide the name and address of the person you are celebrating. We will send a personal letter to your honoree telling this special person that you’ve made a thoughtful gift in their name.

Our Wish List
Some of our supporters like to see their gift buy something very specific. If you want to help — today — then you can donate enough dollars to buy one or more of the items on our immediate Wish List or purchase an item and then donate it. The items on our wish list vary, but may include items like office equipment, project and event supplies, and art supplies.
This is our current wish list: (updated November 1, 2021). You may still donate online, but please e-mail or call us to designate your gift.

Matching Gifts
Many corporations match their employee’s contributions to non-profits if you notify them of your donation. And this includes memberships!
By taking the time to let your employer know of your donation or your membership, their generosity can in turn increase the impact of your donation to the HV Arts Council dollar for dollar. Some examples of companies with matching gift programs include Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Merrill Lynch, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
