We keep tuition low
because you keep us open.
The Art League is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Your gift is tax-deductible and goes directly to scholarships, kiln repairs, studio supplies, and stipends for visiting artists — not to overhead.
92¢ of every $1.
We publish our 990 publicly every year. The math is simple: most of what comes in goes back out to scholarships, artists, and the studios that hold them.

Questions, answered.
Is my donation tax-deductible?+
Yes. We're a 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 59-1396213). You'll get an email receipt immediately and a year-end summary every January.
Can I designate my gift to a specific program?+
Yes — youth scholarships, the kiln fund, and visiting artist stipends all accept designated gifts. Add a note at checkout.
What's the difference between donating and becoming a member?+
Members get tangible benefits (discounts, priority registration, member shows). Donors give freely. Many people do both.
Can I cancel a monthly gift?+
Anytime, from the link in any receipt email. We will be sad but understanding.
Do you accept stock and crypto?+
Stock yes, crypto not yet. Email Carol@artsjax.org and we'll walk you through stock transfer.
