Your generosity fuels the Arts Council’s mission to inspire creativity and enrich lives through the arts. We offer a variety of giving options to make your contribution as impactful (and convenient!) as possible.
Jump to Section:
Online Giving
The simplest and quickest way to give is through the online donation form, which offers a range of payment options. You can donate using a credit card, PayPal, Venmo, or bank draft.
Monthly Giving
Join the Arts Council in supporting the arts all year long. Select “Monthly” when completing the online donation form and become a sustaining donor through automatic recurring gifts.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a flexible, tax-smart way to support your favorite causes. Initial contributions to DAFs provide immediate tax deductions, and appreciated charitable gifts can be made from DAFs while avoiding capital gains tax. If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to the Arts Council to help bring transformative arts experiences to life.
To initiate a grant, provide your DAF custodian with:
Our legal name: Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County
Our Tax ID (EIN): 23-7411600
IRA Charitable Gifts
Did you know that it’s possible to make charitable gifts out of your IRA while also potentially lowering your annual taxable income? If you’re age 70½ or older, you can donate directly from your IRA to the Arts Council without paying any income tax on that distribution (with a limit of $108,000 in 2025). If you’re age 73 or older, these qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) can count toward your annual required minimum distribution (RMD).
To initiate a charitable distribution, provide your IRA custodian with:
Our legal name: Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County
Our mailing address: PO Box 318, Fayetteville, NC 28302
Our Tax ID (EIN): 23-7411600
Donations from IRAs do not automatically carry donor information, so please let us know if you plan to give this way, so that we can be expecting your donation.
Sponsorship
Individuals and businesses can support the Arts Council by sponsoring programs and events. Sponsorship opportunities include the annual International Folk Festival, ArtScape public art, gallery exhibitions, and art gallery naming rights. Different tiers and entry points are available, and we can tailor sponsorship packages to suit your needs.
Inquiries and questions can be addressed to Josh Murray, Director of Development at JoshM@TheArtsCouncil.com or (910) 323-1776.
