How your Sponsorship benefits
the Arts for Kids locally!
The Suncoast Arts Fest dba Fine
Arts of the Suncoast, Inc., a not for profit 501(c)3 corporation, has
always worked to benefit the “Arts for Kids”. In 2010, after a survey of
Pasco county arts teachers was done, SAF took steps to:
·
develop an arts grant program to provide arts
instructors with much needed funds to continue arts
programs for our youth.
·
work with developers on a web based youth
arts calendar at
www.ArtsGoForward.com, a new site
currently being formed to provide resources for students wanting to know
more about arts programs and arts events. Look for this site and more
resources to come after early December 2010.
·
begin raising funds at
www.SuncoastArtsFest.com. The fundraising page will show a list
of much needed supplies, cost, and an easy process to donate.
·
provide Sponsors an opportunity to have a
“Splash Page” on the SAF mobile website which has the capability of 1)
promoting your company as a sponsor and can 2)be linked to the website of a
program your company supports. A
great way to support your school arts program!
Your sponsorship dollars help support the endeavors of
the SAF to provide much needed resources to benefit the Arts for Kids right
here in our community!

the device to open the mobile site for SAF.
