“Instead of considering your donation to the arts and humanities as an expenditure, we are asking you to recognize that the Arts and Humanities is an INVESTMENT in our students and our community — an investment that pays dividends as measured by:

• The positive impact on our local economy and how the arts attract businesses to our community; 

• The arts and humanities make our community attractive, vibrant, connected and they preserve our history and heritage;

• Arts and humanities boost our community creativity, understanding, empathy and our kindness.”
