A North Texas educational organization dedicated to inspiring young people through an arts-based, academic world-view.
Each academic year, the generosity of our faculty, staff, parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends helps us add robust and diverse opportunities for over 1,000 students that simply wouldn’t be possible if we relied solely on state funding.
The Annual Campaign enriches the ongoing excellence of Texas Center for Arts + Academics programs and student activities. Your gift, no matter what the size, is vital to our continued success and our ability to provide support and educational opportunities to our artists, performers, and musicians year-round. From summer camps to holiday performances, the annual fund bolsters our operational capacity each and every day!
Please consider a gift to the Annual Campaign today!
Perhaps most impactful of all, annual fund donations and community support allow us to grow and expand, transforming the reach of our schools, community programs, premier choirs, and summer camps. Since 1946, Texas Center for Arts + Academics has made long-term investments in our students’ talents and success within the greater Fort Worth Arts Community and beyond. We can continue doing that with your financial support.
What is the Annual Campaign? TCA+A relies on two fundraisers a year to operate – the TCA+A Gala and the Annual Campaign. The Annual Campaign sets us up for success for the remainder of our fiscal year.
Why do we need to fundraise? Operating as charter schools means we can tailor our tuition free education model to best benefit our unique student body. It also means we do not receive any local funding; therefore, we receive about $1,000 less per student per year than our neighboring Independent School Districts. This puts us at an operational deficit of close to $1 million each school year.
How are donations spent? The Annual Campaign allows us to purchase evidence-based curriculums and technology upgrades for both schools. It supports our future, allowing us to invest in teacher retention initiatives and strategic planning. In addition, it funds small day-to-day needs like classroom supplies and reams of paper.
What if I don’t have much to give? All donations, no matter the size, are necessary. Community support gives us leverage when approaching foundations and corporations for large grants and sponsorships. If you can only support one TCA+A fundraiser – make it this one!
