Make your Donation Count this Year!
The end of 2022 is fast approaching, but not over yet! We count on your annual donations more than ever as we stay committed to providing free programs like our Walk-in-Wednesdays and Life Drawing sessions, and scholarships for all of our fee-based youth programs to families who struggle to afford out-of-school arts access. Our class fees provide only 20% of the funds needed to cover our annual expenses. We are thankful for donations of any amount!
Programs at REACH are made possible in part through funding from National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, The City of Lansing, Capitol Area United Way, Lansing Exchange Youth Foundation, The Arts Council of Greater Lansing, the Community Foundation, MSUFCU - Desk Drawer Fund, the Mariel Foundation, Elements Studio Inc, and generous individual donors.
