The Center Fund
The Center Fund: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is The Center Fund?
Our new annual fund is a transition from the membership program we have traditionally run at Arts of the Albemarle. As a contributor, you will still get the same great benefits you may remember from our membership program, and at similar levels. The focus of The Center Fund is on the impact AoA has in the community culturally, educationally and economically.
Will we still have our membership picnic?
Absolutely! Bringing our friends and supporters together to celebrate another year of AoA in the community is one of our favorite activities. As in the past, this event will take place in September.
So, what has changed?
This year, we are introducing The Russell and Rosabelle Twiford Club, a new $1,000 donor level that includes a tax deductible contribution to AoA. This donor level recognizes the generous support provided by the Twiford family, who made one of the largest private gifts in support of the campaign to renovate The Center. In addition to the benefits at the Benefactor Level, members of The Russell and Rosabell Twiford Club receive 10% off all purchases at The Center.
