Where Your Donation Goes
Our annual budget is purposefully kept small, but we survive solely off of grants and public support. Your donation will assist with the items that most local foundations will not cover; paying our two person staff, providing stipends for young reporters, community outreach and educational programs, and daily office maintenance expenses. Nothing goes to waste and all funds are spent to support Canton and Stark County youth.
We can only continue with your help! Whether it is $5 or $500, no donation is too small except no donation at all. While we do our best to keep our annual budget to minimum, we are an educational 501 c 3 nonprofit that survives solely off of grants and public support. Your donation will help us continue to serve the under served students and youth in the Canton community. With your assistance we can bring quality art, education and media to all of Stark County.
