thank you for your support!

Grants pay for our programs.
They can't pay our bills.
Your donation does what grant money is not allowed to. It keeps the doors of our downtown gallery open, the lights on, and the arts within reach for everyone in Cherokee County.

How CCAC is funded
Only about 7% of our budget is cash we can spend freely. That small slice keeps the doors open.
Your gift goes further than its face value. Cash is the local match our grants require, so the dollars you give help unlock far larger grant awards for arts programming right here in Cherokee County.For perspective: statewide, every $1 the state invests in the Grassroots Arts Program leverages roughly $18 in matching support.
