Giving Tuesday 2023
We are stronger together.
The Alliance works to build a strong arts-education-friendly coalition in Missouri with our Allies. You can help!
Become a donor: Financial contributions help us fulfill our mission to support, promote and advocate for Arts Education in Missouri. You can designate that your gift be used to support a specific program, or to support general operational expenses.
Become an ally: Whether you'd just like to stay informed about opportunities or issues which impact arts education, or if you want to take a more active role, we will welcome you as an individual ally. Corporate and Business Allies are also welcome! Organizational allies may also seek representation within our governance structure. There is no cost to become an ally.
