Global, Giving, Gratitude: Sustaining Our Beloved Community
Thank you to all of you beloved members of our Global family. We are closing out our 27th year of bringing the arts of the world to our community, and we can't wait to see you in our studios, at our concerts, films, or poetry events, or out in the community! We are, of course, in area schools - Metro and surrounding counties - as we continue to fulfill our mission to use the arts of diverse cultures to highlight our commonalities and promote cross-cultural understanding and respect. When we get to know one another and understand the commonalities of our stories, our struggles, and our journeys, we can't help but become united in working toward the common good for all!
If you like arts - any type of art - this year it is more crucial than ever to support your local arts organizations. Due to issues beyond our control, local funding of arts organizations has been delayed and is in possible jeopardy, so we need everyone to step up to ensure that our community has access to all types of arts that reflect the true diversity of our community. If you know Global Education Center, you know that we provide a home for artists and performing groups that truly do represent the diversity of Nashville and beyond, so we are inviting you to help us continue our work for years to come. Lots of fun events are coming up, provided by the generosity of so many members of our
Global Education Center Family!
One Global Family Member has offered to match all $250 donations up to a max of $10,000!

Grassroots Global Giving: Create a Beloved Community for All - 1,000 donors
This is a fun opportunity for members of our Global family to join in celebrating our 27 years by giving what you can and asking friends and family to join our campaign to garner 1,000 donors as we strive for our $25,000 goal for 2023-2024.
Become a $250 donor and your donation becomes $500 - 20 donors
That's right. We have a family willing to match every $250 donation dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 between now and the end of the year, so should you have those resources and be inspired to give, you can double your support!
Become a recurring donor - 100 recurring monthly donors
We realize that to remain sustainable, we need a solid core of supporters who give a monthly amount that we can count on through the good times and the challenging times. Due to some snafu's in local government funding for FY24, we find we are ending this year in challenging times, so . . . we are looking for folks who believe in our mission enough to become a recurring donor of any amount! (Our first 25 recurring donors can choose to join a group salsa or drumming class on January 13, 2024 - Drumming at 11:00 am; Salsa at 1:00 pm)
Become a Global member at the $50 or higher level
Global has many different levels of membership, from $50 to $250 and even a $500 corporate level. We would love to celebrate this year with at least 50 new members. While memberships bring discounts to some of our programming, the main purpose of our membership is to support our mission to use the arts of diverse cultures to highlight our commonalities and promote cross-cultural understanding and respect.

Our home in West Nashville was built in 1894 and 1902 and is on the Historic Register. We love our home with all of its antique quirkiness and welcoming vibe. However, it is showing its age with all of its squeaks, creaks, cracks, and sags. All it needs is a little TLC, but it is beyond our budget during these challenging post-pandemic times. We would love some volunteers: Carpenters***Electricians***Painters***Plumbers***Gardeners***HVAC Specialists
