#GivingTuesday, Global Day of Giving, takes place this year on Tuesday, November 29!
Potomac Arts Academy is once again participating in #GivingTuesday, a global giving movement that has been driven by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. Since its founding in 2012, millions of people have come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.
After two days for getting deals – Black Friday and Cyber Monday –#GivingTuesday is a day for giving back. In dozens of towns, cities, regions and states from Alaska to Maine, and Charlotte NC to Dallas TX, people are embracing this day as an opportunity to raise money for local nonprofits, schools and arts organizations; run food and clothing drives; teach children about philanthropy; encourage acts of kindness; collaborate with their neighbors; and celebrate generosity.
When you donate to Potomac Arts Academy, you help us fulfill our mission of “enrich[ing] the lives of community members of all ages, skill levels and socio-economic backgrounds by providing the highest caliber of artistic instruction in an accessible and nurturing environment”. Donated funds assist us with important arts outreach initiatives in the community (see Outreach), scholarships for deserving students, and offsetting program costs for our community classes and summer programs.
Please consider making a gift to us this #GivingTuesday. When making an online donation, you have a choice of two Academy funds to give to:
- “Potomac Arts Academy Excellence Fund” – Supports funding for student scholarships (for our fall/ spring classes and summer programs), arts-based community outreach programs, and other initiatives
- “Instruments in the Attic” – Supports repairs of donated musical instruments and program-related projects
Online donations are made via a George Mason University Foundation portal, and donors will receive an official Thank You letter from Mason.
Make a difference by giving to the Academy – thank you so much!
