On Monday, July 21, local advocacy group Community for the Confluence announced a $100,000 challenge grant, hoping to gather 6,000 donations in 60 days through regular donations and a special "text-2-give" mobile campaign. The money will go towards the project's arts center. Check out the press release for more details …

Community for the Confluence is thrilled to announce Coming Together, a $100,000 challenge grant in support of the Confluence Arts Center. The new campaign, initiated by a coalition of donors, utilizes social media and text-2-give mobile to raise 6,000 donations in 60 days.

Make your donation now by simply texting ECARTS to 501501, and a one-time $10 charge is added to your cell phone bill or deducted from a prepaid balance.

You can donate up to three times each month – every individual donation counts toward the 6,000 goal.

If you want to make a tax deductible donation larger than $10, please go online to EauClaireArts.com/confluence, or call the Eau Claire Regional Arts Council at 715-832-2787.

The 6,000 donation challenge is approximately 10% of the population of the greater Eau Claire area and greater than the number of signatures which placed the referendum question on the ballot in April. This is a unique opportunity to show broad support for the Confluence Arts Center as state government leaders in Madison make important decisions on funding the project.

Please join us today in support of the Confluence Arts Center: text ECARTS to 501501 or go online to EauClaireArts.com/confluence.
