Partner with us!

AACA relies on tax-deductible donations to support the general operating costs that allow us to produce programs and events. While we have previously referred to this donation category as “Membership,” we are rebranding the program so that the name aptly reflects our donors’ active engagement in upholding our mission.

Annual donations have historically funded ten to twenty percent of AACA’s annual budget. As our programming and staffing expands to fill our new space with robust offerings, the financial demands of supporting our mission increase.
