Fund a future today
As you know, school is back in session, and we’re thrilled to see our students again after a fun summer!
L.A. County’s alternative high school students are dedicated, passionate, and talented–and they rely on the artworxLA community to help fund their weekly art education programs.
For each classroom we need to raise $800 in art supplies. Reaching this goal is easier when we do it together. If you and seven of your friends donate $100 to artworxLA, you help cover the cost of supplies for a full semester. To make it even easier, you can spread out your donations and have them automatically recur monthly. One click and you fund the future of an entire classroom.

Other ways to give
Employer Matching
Many companies have programs through which they will "match" the charitable contributions made by their employees. Through corporate gift matching, your employer can multiply your gift to artworxLA, making it go further. Check with your company's Human Resources office to see if they offer gift matching. If your employer does offer this program, your Human Resources department should provide you with a matching gift form to send to artworxLA along with your donation.
