Donate Monthly
Change lives every day by becoming a monthly donor. Monthly donors provide a regular recurring gift that is automatically transferred from a credit card or bank account, and can be adjusted or suspended at any time.
- A $40 monthly gift will provide a student one dance class a week for 6 months.
- Giving monthly is an easy, effective way to be a hero for the arts 365 days a year!
No matter the amount, your recurring donation has a serious impact: knowing we can count on receiving your recurring gift makes it easier for us to plan transformational arts programs.
Corporate Matching Gifts
You can double the impact of your donation with a matching gift! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees.
Please contact your employer’s HR department to see if they offer a matching gift program to increase your donation. Many companies offer online matching gift processing, so you need only to let them know you donated to us, and they take care of the rest.
Some companies even offer donation via payroll deduction, so we receive your donation and their matching gift in one lump sum!
If your employer requires a Matching Gift form, fill out your portion, and email your completed Matching Gift form to sonja@smapa.org or mail to:
