YOUR GIFT directly supports the arts IN OUR COMMUNITY

During the 2024/25 Season Annual Campaign, we invite you to take part in the Johnston Meier Match Challenge.  For a second year in a row, Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group has partnered with JM Media to match all new or additional gifts of $50 or more, up to $5,000, from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.  This means that your gift to the Arts Council and ACT Arts Centre will be DOUBLED!

Please consider setting up a monthly installment gift, which makes giving convenient and reduces our administrative costs, making your gift go further. If you are a new contributor, by making an easy monthly gift of just $5 you can double your impact. You can cancel or adjust at any time:  just give us a call at 604-476-2787 and we will be happy to help.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT

For over 20 years, The ACT Arts Centre has played the major role providing high-quality programming, education programs, and free arts events in our community.

We strive to make the arts accessible to everyone in our community, and with your generosity, we can foster creativity and facilitate arts education for all ages, enriching countless lives in the process.

Our community is growing rapidly, and your contribution helps expand and enhance ACT Arts Centre and Arts Council programs to serve those growing needs.

Please help us do more!

Your tax-deductible contribution provides crucial program support. Here are a few highlights of the impact we are proud to have made over the past season:

  • Over 4,000 children, youth and adults participated in more than 400 enriching learning experiences in the classroom and gallery.

  • The stages came alive with 157 professional and community performances and films, captivating 23,772 enthusiastic audience members

  • Five professionally curated gallery exhibitions expanded understanding of the visual world, delighting more than 8,000 visitors with their imagination and creativity.

Your donation in any amount, will help us to continue to offer excellent programs, from arts learning initiatives to live performances and vibrant exhibitions.  Every gift has a meaningful impact on the lives of so many in our community.

Making an annual ACT Arts Centre gift can be done any time throughout the year. Benefits remain in good standing for twelve months.
