Donate and increase your impact today!
Mount Dora Center for the Arts is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting artists like you and expanding access to art education in our community.
As many of you know, state and federal art grants are currently on hold. These funds typically play a major role in supporting our general operations and programming.
That said, there are still ways to support MDCA through donations this year—and all donations are tax-deductible.
One option is to donate a portion of your sponsorship, booth fee, or other amenities through United Arts, designated specifically to the Mount Dora Center for the Arts. Donations made through United Arts by April 30, 2026 will help us access matching funds of up to $1.25 million, which is a huge win for the arts community.
For example:
• Sponsors may designate up to 50% of their sponsorship fee or a portion of an amenity like electric or RV parking as a tax-deductible donation to MDCA through United Arts.
Another way to help MDCA is by donating an item during the festival. Volunteers will be collecting items on Sunday, and any donated pieces will be included in auctions at our annual fundraising events. This is completely optional but deeply appreciated—and it’s also a great opportunity to have your work showcased in front of hundreds of local art supporters. Feel free to include extra business cards with your item.
A tax donation receipt can be provided upon request. If you have a large or fragile item, please text us at 352-217-8390.
Thank you for supporting MDCA and the arts!
