ASC 2009 Annual Fund Drive Brings In Over $7 Million
The Arts & Science Council (ASC) announced today that its 2009 Annual Fund Drive raised $7,043,407. This represents a 37% decrease from the campaign’s goal of $11.2 million. Campaign dollars help support arts education, artists, neighborhood cultural projects and arts, science, history and heritage organizations.While the campaign is over, people are still invited to donate to ASC at www.ArtsAndScience.org.
“We knew this campaign was going to be challenging due to the current economic environment and fundraising climate,” said ASC President & CEO Lee Keesler. “We are very grateful for those individuals, businesses and corporations who gave what they could to support the cultural community through a gift to ASC.”
The Annual Fund Drive was led by Sue Gorman, owner, Sue Gorman Interior Designs and James Jackson, executive vice president, premier banking and investment southeast division executive, Bank of America.
Founded in 1958, ASC has been raising dollars to help shape a vibrant cultural life for all and is expected to invest over $14.5 million to support the cultural community during fiscal year 2008-2009. These investments were made possible through donations to the 2008 Annual Fund Drive along with grants from the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, Mecklenburg municipalities, North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency, and ASC’s endowment earnings.
