Financials
Our commitment is to make the very most of every dollar raised, so that our young patients and families can continue to count on our services. At Arts For Life, we’re proud to accomplish a great deal—serving more than 7,000 patients and family members each year and more than 102,000 since 2010—with our available resources, through donations, grants and foundation support, sponsorships, and hospital contributions.
For more detailed financial information, check out our most recent Form 990 and our most recent Annual Report. You can also contact our Director of Operations and Finance, Snee Howard, with any questions: (828) 772-5339 or snee@artsforlifenc.org
