Cultural District Resilience Fund

Help us raise $50,000 in six weeks to unlock a $50,000 match!

State funding for Nevada County’s two California Cultural Districts ended on June 30, creating a $400,000 gap in the work that supports artists, culture bearers, creative businesses, youth programs, public art, cultural tourism, and local arts infrastructure.

A generous local donor has pledged a $50,000 matching gift.

Now we need our community to help us meet the match by August 19, 2026.
