Cash contributions of any size are always sincerely welcomed. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law; FAC is an incorporated 501(c)(3) educational organization. Checks may be made payable to Folk Arts Center of New England and mailed to:

Folk Arts Center of New England

10 Franklin Street

Stoneham, MA 02180-1862

We are also grateful for donations of used vehicles in the car donation program, and for gifts of appreciated stocks and other assets in the stock donation program. We encourage inquiries about bequests and charitable gift annuities; please contact us for more information about planned giving.

Folk Arts Center members and friends also contribute much-needed funds through their donations and purchases in support of FAC’s annual Benefit Bash, auctions at Pinewoods Camp, and occasional tag sales. Donations of frequent flyer miles help reduce the expense of bringing instructors and performers to FAC events. New in 2010: an Electronics Recycling Day to benefit FAC.

Corporate donations

Some of the ways that businesses generously support Folk Arts Center programs include matching the FAC donations of their employees, funding the Copley Square summer dances, donating items to FAC fundraising events, providing refreshments for Balkan Music Night, and giving FAC a percentage of profits from the sale of their products to our members.

Grants

FAC is grateful to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Melrose Cultural Council, the City of Boston Trust Department, and other funding agencies for their financial support. FAC has received a matching grant of $5,400 for fiscal year 2009 from the Organizational Support program of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
