Support SAAC
Funding for Starkville Area Arts Council comes from 3 primary sources: grants, annual dues/donations, and fundraising events. Individuals and businesses can support SAAC through memberships, general donations, or shopping through Amazon Smile or Kroger Rewards.
Would it surprise you to learn that SAAC operates with fewer than 300 individual donors each year? Help us change that. Any amount is welcomed and will be put to great use to build a community through art.
Of course, we'll 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!
