Donate
Like any movement, the art farm relies on a combination of financial supports to fulfill our mission, which is to develop and sustain a rurally based model for creating positive change, through arts-nature-and change-based programming.
Fortunately for young non-profit organizations like deer crossing the art farm, there are people and groups who act voluntarily to support the common good—these are our society’s philanthropists.
This tradition of giving and sharing is primary to a community’s quality of life, and it is a tradition to which deer crossing the art farm is accountable and grateful. We require the generous support of endowments and donations to progress our vision, to serve our community and to deliver what we promise—programming that facilitates reflection, dialogue, learning and collaboration toward positive individual and community change—programming that builds a stronger, healthier, richer community.
We are currently partnering with Tides Canada to raise philanthropic funds for a variety of our programs. Tides Canada’s mission is "to provide uncommon solutions for the common good by leading and supporting actions that foster a healthy environment and just Canadian society". This partnership enables you, our supporters, to donate your money, shares and/or securities for granting in support of charitable activities. Your gift is made to “Tides Canada Foundation - the deer crossing the art farm fund” and you will receive a tax receipt, if eligible.
