Board of Directors will match all donations up to $2k thru Dec. 29

The Center for Arts at the Armory Board of Directors has pledged to match all donations made between today and midnight on December 29 up to $2,000. This is an incredible opportunity to double your gift.

The pandemic has been a topsy turvy time for everyone, and it continues to be so! For our non-profit organization, this has included getting a new landlord, the City of Somerville. Having a new landlord has brought its own challenges and, at the end of the day, we’re another tenant inside the Armory building that pays rent, payroll and a host of other operational expenses. Our small but mighty Board of Directors, including Neil Berman, Hathalee Higgs, Ruth Faris and Robert Smyth, has played a key role in helping our organization navigate the pandemic. From “special projects” to lending a hand as we’ve rebuilt our staff and from legal and HR counsel to assisting in many a crisis, our Board members have given abundantly of their time, talent and treasure. Now they are asking you to join them in supporting Arts at the Armory, and they will even match your gift. Thank you for giving as generously as you can so we can meet our year-end goal of $20,000 by December 31.
