There are many ways to support the CCA!

Donations

Support the Columbia Center for the Arts!

 

Since January 2024, CCA has been rebuilding its programming to reestablish itself as a vibrant hub for arts and culture in our community. We invite you to help continue this journey and make a lasting impact.

 

With your support, we’ve already achieved so much! We proudly produced A Doll’s House, Part 2, hosted CGOA’s Bat Boy: The Musical, and presented Oregon Ballet Theatre’s OBT2 Dance Company. We brought the community together with sold-out screenings of The Last 100 Miles and The Paddle Film Festival, partnered with nonprofits Arts in Education of the Gorge (AEIG), CGOA, Mt Adams Institute, and the Deschutes River Alliance. With AEIG, we hosted a "family day" where the community turned our gallery into a Springtime Wonderland and hosted a two-week Summer Camp. We've also highlighted local talent through gallery exhibits, including our first LGBTQIA+ Pride Month show.

 

Our outreach extends beyond our walls, partnering with Black in the Gorge and artist Latoya Lovely to provide arts activities at the Juneteenth Celebration.

 

Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand our offerings. Upcoming highlights include classes and workshops for all ages, a teen production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, The Book of Will, the Gorge Impact Film Festival, and the inaugural Columbia Gorge Book Festival.

 

You can support us in many ways: spread the word, volunteer, or make a donation. Whether by donating, attending shows, or volunteering, your contribution keeps the arts thriving and accessible. Together, we’ll keep Columbia Center for the Arts a creative hub for years to come.

 

Thank you for being part of this journey!

Become a "Legacy Builder"- Estate Gifts

You can help support CCA by making an amendment to your will using the following language and indicating the amount you would like to leave. You can specify a dollar amount, certain assets, or a percentage of your estate.

“I give, devise, and bequeath to Columbia Center for the Arts, a nonprofit Oregon corporation with business address of P.O. Box 1543, Hood River, Oregon 97031 or its successor, the sum $_________ dollars [or otherwise describe the gift or assets] for its general purposes and use at the discretion of the Columbia Center for the Arts Board of Directors.”

 

Mentioning the arts in your will makes you a “Legacy Builder” for Columbia Center for the Arts, and will help make a difference for CCA for years to come. Legacy builders can leave a legacy in a number of ways other than through your will, including:

  • Mentioning the arts in your revocable trust.

  • Deferring part of your IRA or retirement plan.

  • Naming Columbia Center for the Arts as a beneficiary in your life insurance policy.

 

Thousands of people have supported the Columbia Center for the Arts over the years both with their time and their financial contributions. We thank you all.
