Support the Arts. Empower Future Creators.
DOUBLE Your Impact!
On April 15-16, 2026, noon to noon, the Giving Challenge is your opportunity to donate to the Sarasota Branch of the NLAPW and double your impact! Every donation will be matched, turing $25 to $50!
Your generous donation helps fund our annual Launching Leaders in the Arts program, our primary community outreach program, supporting college-bound high school seniors in Manatee and Sarasota County public schools. Our annual student competition in the categories of Letter, Art, and Music provides awards from $500 to $2,000.
Every dollar donated helps us provide student awards, educational programs, community outreach, and free arts experiences, keeping creativity alive and accessible.
This Giving Challenge Day, we invite you to invest in the future of the arts. Your support, no matter the size, makes a lasting difference.
