Guilford Foundation and Ascend Bank Sponsorship
Guilford Art Center is pleased and honored to have received a sponsorship of $1,250 from the Guilford Foundation and Ascend Bank. In partnership, these two organizations provide monies to nonprofits in support of events that fundraise or increase an organization’s visibility. GAC received funding for our year-round calendar of events, including Craft Expo, Soup for Good, and the Holiday Expo.
The Guilford Foundation is a community foundation serving the town of Guilford, CT. Their sponsorship opportunities support events being held in Guilford or neighboring communities that have a meaningful impact on the Guilford community.
“We are thrilled to have received such generous sponsorship funding from the Guilford Foundation and Ascend Bank,” says GAC Executive Director Maureen Belden. “These community partners have long-supported GAC’s programming and mission in the community and we pledge to honor this support by providing the benefits of the arts to all in our community.”
