The Floyd Center for the Arts is proud to participate in GiveLocalNRV, the New River Valley's annual online giving event hosted by the Community Foundation of the New River Valley.
Early Giving is now open, allowing supporters to make their gifts before Giving Day officially begins at noon on June 24 and continues through noon on June 25.
What Is GiveLocalNRV?
GiveLocalNRV is a regional day of giving that brings together nonprofits and community members to celebrate generosity and invest in the organizations that strengthen our communities. In addition to helping nonprofits raise critical funds, GiveLocalNRV offers opportunities to earn bonus prizes and matching funds throughout the campaign.
For the Floyd Center for the Arts, GiveLocalNRV is our most critical source of unrestricted annual support.
While grants and designated gifts help fund specific projects and improvements, GiveLocalNRV helps sustain the people, programs, and operations that make everything else possible.
