The Jersey Shore Arts Center is a vital home for the arts in our community. Artists work and perform here. Students learn here. Your financial support helps us transform lives. Our vision is to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of the arts among people in our community and beyond.
Your generous financial support enables us to present exhibitions, art classes, dance instruction, film screenings, children's programs and provide affordable work/studio space for a highly diverse and creative group of visual and performing artists. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Gifts of Cash
Gifts of cash are the easiest and most direct way to give to JSAC and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Gifts of cash can be made online, by sending a check, payable to the Jersey Shore Arts Center, or by calling the Main Office at 732-502-0050 with your credit card information.
Matching Gifts
You can double, or even triple, the amount of your gift through your company sponsored Matching Gift Program. Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees or their spouses. To find out if your employer has a matching gift program, please contact your Human Resources department. Although there are individual procedures for each company, most require donors to complete the employee section of their matching gift form and send it with their gift. Upon receipt of your gift and form, JSAC will complete the charitable section and send your company the completed form for processing.
Become a Corporate Sponsor
For corporations interested in high-visibility sponsorship opportunities, the Jersey Shore Arts Center is pleased to offer specially designed partnership packages, with robust recognition and engagement benefits tailored to meet your company’s needs. Opportunities include major event sponsorships and naming opportunities throughout the building. Contact Elyse Reissman for more information.
