​SAACA believes that every culture has a history and tradition to honor. This common thread allows us to communicate across cultures in a universal language and understand one another in a different way. ​By supporting local arts and creativity, we animate our city with culture, empathy and create a stronger sense of place. Your individual investment in a vibrant Arizona today unlocks the creative potential for each of us tomorrow. A world without art would be a world without a voice or means for communication. We know that arts and culture record our history, challenges our present and informs our future. 

A monthly or one-time pledge of support can help change the shape of our community through art.  When you support our programs, 100% of your donation goes directly back into our community.  You can designate your support to programs which you are passionate about, and help SAACA innovate news ways for the arts to transform the lives of people everywhere.

TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS SUSTAIN OUR WORK

The Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance is one of the most dynamic community organizations locally, dedicated to the creation, preservation and advancement of the arts in our community.  Our work builds a community with vibrant people, place and purpose.

Donations of any amount can be made to SAACA, and provided with a variety of donor benefits and recognition. Your donation will go directly to support emerging artist programs, arts and healthcare programming in local hospitals and assisted living communities, as well as creative placemaking programs in communities throughout the region.  The support stays 100% local, and benefits the communities in which you live.

MEMORIAL GIFTS

​The Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance welcomes your memorial and honor contributions.  If you wish to make a donation in memory of a loved one or in special recognition of an accomplishment or significant event, please click here. You will be asked to provide the name and address of the family member or individual who should receive acknowledgement of your gift.  You will also receive an acknowledgement of your contribution.

GIFTS OF STOCK

Make a bigger impact by donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to charity. Compared with donating cash, or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may be able to automatically increase your gift and your tax deduction.

It’s simple and easy. When you donate stock to charity, you’ll generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value.
