Dear Friends:
Your contributions truly make a difference in the lives of so many, and for that, we are deeply grateful. We’re taking a moment to share some exciting news with you and to let you know that we have an extraordinary opportunity to amplify your impact even further!

Communities Foundation of Texas is proud to present North Texas Gives to the Arts from April 17-30, 2025. Throughout the two-week fundraising event, donors can explore and give to any of 400 participating arts organizations. Thanks to help from generous givers and sponsors, Communities Foundation of Texas will cover all transaction and technology fees so that 100% of all donations go directly to nonprofits. More information here.

To kick off the event on Thursday, April 17, the first $100,000 in donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by The Giana Foundation Fund, the Robert B. and Virginia Payne Fund for Arts & Culture, and Communities Foundation of Texas. Available for online gifts only, the first $500 per donor per organization will be matched.

To qualify, donations must be made using this special link: northtexasgivingday.org/community/Arts2025. Please enter “St. Matthew’s Cathedral Arts” on the search field, and proceed to the special donation form.

Your continued support means the world to us, and we invite you to join this special generosity movement. You’ll help Cathedral Arts secure matching dollars, and allow us to expand our reach and deepen our impact. We’re immensely grateful for your partnership in creating positive change in our community!
