Mosesian Center for the Arts
The Mosesian Arts community understands the immeasurable impact that access to the arts have on a community and on our collective human experience.
Today, on Giving Tuesday, we ask you to give back with a gift to our annual fund which offsets program costs and supports tuition assistance, so everyone has the opportunity to express themselves through art.
Perkins School for the Blind
It’s a dollar-for-dollar match for Perkins on Giving Tuesday!This year, every dollar raised for Giving Tuesday will go toward accessible technology for Perkins students. These critical tools open up the world for students like Tim, who curates daily weather reports for our community using his specialized large print and high contrast keyboard.
“Without this technology, it would be impossible to do it,” said Tim.
Whether you give $50, which can provide a large print keyboard to develop a student’s typing skills, or $500, which can provide an iPad to unlock communication for a child who is non-verbal, your gift of any size will make an impact on a student’s life.
