The Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT), which presents the annual “North Texas Giving Day” held in the fall, is sponsoring “North Texas Gives to the Arts” April 16-30, an earlier opportunity to give online to numerous Arts & Humanities organizations with just one transaction. Donations to select organizations during the two-week period will be matched dollar for dollar by The Giana Foundation Fund, the Robert B. and Virginia Payne Fund for Arts & Culture, and CFT (up to $100 per donor, per organization).

The City’s Eisemann Center, as well as several nonprofits that have received cultural arts grants from the City, are participating in the fundraiser. These grant-funded nonprofits include:

  • Chamber Music International,
  • Lone Star Wind Orchestra,
  • Repertory Company Theatre,
  • Richardson Civic Arts Society,
  • Richardson Community Band,
  • Richardson Community Chorale,
  • Richardson Reads One Book,
  • Richardson Symphony,
  • Richardson Theatre Centre,
  • Rich-Tone Chorus,
  • Texas Winds Musical Outreach, and
  • Tuzer Ballet. 

A second focused giving opportunity is planned for May, when CFT will sponsor “North Texas Gives to Animals” May 14-31.
