Artists are our cultural pioneers and champions of free expression. In this cultural climate, artists need you more than ever. When you make a gift to CFEVA, you provide the mentoring, material, and financial support for artists to expand their practices, explore creative risk-taking, and dedicate themselves to creative endeavors. CFEVA’s programs and exhibitions are powered by artists and serve communities in neighborhoods throughout the city and region.
Your contribution of any amount makes a difference. When artists are able to sustain artistic practices in Philadelphia, they make the city a more vibrant, thought-provoking, and exciting place to live for everyone.

Donate Through Your Own Donor Advised Fund
This gift is for those donors who may already have set aside charitable funds in, or want to create, a Donor Advised Fund, and wish to help us out this or any year. We are grateful for your gift made directly from that tax-deductible fund and will acknowledge the support as you choose.
Host An Event or Fundraiser
Be a unique CFEVA supporter by hosting your own CFEVA fundraiser! This is a perfect opportunity to show your love for and dedication to your local art community. However you choose, we would be delighted to work with you on creating a special event that supports CFEVA with its proceeds.
Please reach out here to Juliette@cfeva.org for ideas on how you might craft an event that works for you, whether personal or for your place of business.
Make Us a Part of Your Legacy
It is an honor to help you plan a special legacy gift that will reflect your commitment to art and artists. Your gift can be part of your will or living trust, or you might choose to honor another person’s legacy. For donors 70 1/2 or older, The IRA plan Charitable Rollover, allows for a rollover of up to $100,000 a year, and is now a permanent provision of the tax code; such gifts can be made through your IRA plan administrator. If you need more information on making an important Legacy Gift, please contact Juliette@cfeva.org. Thank you.
Create a Named Fellowship
Core to the CFEVA mission is an emerging artist’s Fellowship experience that supports them through a specific project to launch and sustain their art practice. The Fellowship is also open to established artists who are pivoting their practice in a new and innovative way. CFEVA currently hosts 6 Visual Arts Fellowships per calendar year, each lasting two years.
Your $10,000 donation fully supports another Fellowship space in this critical time for artists and can carry your name with your gift. Each experience offers the artist deep consultancy support from our 20-member Artist Advisory Board, visiting curators, and one-on-one sessions with our experienced staff as well as many other benefits. Your donation supports a Fellow in your own name(s) or that of someone you want to honor.
Interested in contributing to local artistic potential this way? For more information about the Visual Artist Fellowship generally, please connect with juliette@cfeva.org.
