THE ANNUAL FUND
Our mission—to provide affordable space for community events, classes, and local artists—relies on steady support. Your contribution to our Annual Fund, or a one-time donation, helps cover essential costs like staff, programming, and building maintenance. Every gift sustains a space where creativity and community can thrive.
ONGOING MONTHLY SUPPORT
The Art & Soul Society is our circle of monthly supporters—community members who believe in sustaining the arts all year long. By becoming a regular monthly donor, you help create financial stability that allows us to plan ahead, respond to needs, and keep our programs and spaces accessible. Give at any level—every monthly gift makes a difference.
THE COMMUNITY FUND
The Northampton Center for the Arts Community Fund was created for people in the local community who need financial support to access the spaces and programs offered by the Center. Community members may apply for subsidized space rental rates for non-revenue generating rentals, and tuition for programs being offered by the Center.
