Giving Tuesday 2024 - Bridging Cultures, Building Community
Nurturing Empathy through Multicultural Arts Education
Your support helps us create classrooms where every culture is celebrated, and every child is empowered to embrace their global and community identity through the arts.
With your help, we can raise $30,000 to ensure our multicultural arts programming stays in Middle Tennessee schools, equipping children with the understanding they need to build bridges across cultures and create a better future for all. Let’s make a difference together by fostering empathy, inclusion, and unity. #BridgingCultures #BuildingFutures #GivingTuesday
Thank you to all of you beloved members of our Global family. We are closing out our 28th 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!

WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR DONATIONS? CHECK OUT OUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST FISCAL YEAR!
Grassroots Global Giving: Create a Beloved Community for All - GOAL: equivalent of 1,000 donors @ $30 each
This is a fun opportunity for members of our Global family to join in celebrating our 28 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 $30,000 goal for 2024-2025.
Become a recurring donor - 100 recurring monthly donors is our goal
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 the past two fiscal years, 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!
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
Check out these videos from 2020-2021 when we celebrated our 25th year of serving the community!
Go Global!! We were able to switch to virtual programming and are happy to be back with you in person.
