Support SAAC
Funding for Starkville Area Arts Council comes from 3 primary sources: grants, individual donations, and fundraising events. Individuals and businesses can support SAAC through memberships, donations, or using Amazon Smile, Kroger Rewards, or PayPal Giving Fund. SAAC operates with fewer than 300 individual donors each year? Help us change that. Any amount is welcome, and will be put to great use to build a community through art.
We never turn away the offer of a helping hand. Let us know if you'd like to volunteer and we'll find a good fit for you!
