Generous
members and friends who share George A.Spiva’s
vision have helped the art center flourish.
Our ability to maintain the center’s superb
exhibits andeducational programs depends
on the continued generosity of our supporters.
In 2000, Spiva Center for the Arts established
an endowment fund to ensure such continuity.
A Board of Trustees oversees the fund, with
the goal of increasing the endowment to the
point that the interest income it generates
may be used for programming and staffing, while
the principal remains intact. Contributions
to the fund remain in the fund; only the interest
accrued
through careful investing may be used to underwrite
Spiva programs.
A strong endowment fund is essential to Spiva’s
future programs, and planned gifts and bequests
will help the fund grow. As it increases, the
endowment fund will provide the support for
the art center to further its mission and achieve
new standards in exhibition and education.
