Your funding allows us to offer workshops to new organizations, continue activities with those with whom we are currently working, and create special projects to make available to many organizations. WhyArts? keeps operating expenses very low allowing the greatest majority of funding to be directed to artists and activities. Workshops range from $85 to $150 depending on the scope, preparation time, etc.

Donations are 100% tax deductible.

WhyArts? also offers grant writing assistance including consultation and letters of support to organizations that would like to secure their own funding for our various work shops and arts activities.
