Nancy Sprowls Memorial Fund

To help honor the life of Nancy Sprowls, one of our founding members and former director, her family has set up the Nancy Sprowls Memorial Fund of the Medina County Arts Council to provide scholarships to graduating high school students and grants for arts education projects in the county.

If you have questions about giving to the Nancy Sprowls Memorial Fund, please contact Kelly Butler, MCAC Treasurer at MedinaCoArtsCouncil@gmail.com

MCAC Endowment Fund

What the Medina County Arts Council is able to do for the community depends almost completely on the contributions entrusted to us through fundraisers and gifts. We do a lot, but we could do more with your help. If you wish to donate above and beyond the sponsorship or donation levels, please consider giving to the Medina County Arts Council Endowment Fund through the Akron Community Foundation (ACF.)

Planned Giving

Planned giving offers a way to leave a legacy that reflects personal values while also benefiting from potential tax advantages or income generation during one's lifetime. The goal of planned giving focuses on long-term impact, allowing individuals to support their favorite causes while aligning their charitable contributions with their broader financial and estate plans.

If you have questions about planned giving, please contact Kelly Butler, MCAC Treasurer at MedinaCoArtsCouncil@gmail.com

employer matching gift program

Companies usually match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio.

Ask your company if they offer a matching gift program to double the impact of your support.
