More Ways to Support SPA

Flood Recovery Fund
​Your donations will help support SPA and offset the damages to our building by the July 10, 2023, flood that devastated downtown Barre and other areas in our state.  We continue to work on masonry repairs for our historic 1880's building.  With support from many friends over the past year, coupled with flood insurance and an SBA loan, we have completed many repairs, system replacements, and updates that make our art center more sustainable. 

We need additional support to complete repairs on our foundation and we hope that you will make a special gift to SPA for this purpose.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to bring vibrant programs to community members and visitors around the region.  SPA is a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization.  Please give what you can.

SPA Endowment Fund

We at SPA have always had a creative gleam in our eyes.  A small endowment will produce reliable unrestricted funds to protect SPA during economically turbulent times and offer flexible funds that let us respond to opportunities in a timely manner.
 
More than 25 years ago, we took on a project that some thought was implausible.  How could a band of inexperienced artists complete a major downtown historic renovation project destined otherwise for the wrecking ball or something similarly unimaginative?  Then, how could this same band of artists start a new regional arts organization from scratch?
 
It took a certain kind of boldness to create and develop SPA.  It will take that same boldness to plan for our sustainable future.

Our 2020 Vision Endowment will grow via:
  • Your special contribution to support the SPA Endowment Fund; 
  • Your naming SPA as a beneficiary in a bequest and/or adding SPA as a beneficiary to a life insurance policy.
We look forward to discussing our plans with you and providing additional information that will assist you in evaluating your plans to support SPA.  To discuss our campaign further, please contact Sue Higby, SPA Executive Director.
​
Thank you for your visionary support! .
