Giving at DCA

Ways To Support

By sponsoring Dillard Center for the Arts (DCA) with a donation, you enable us to continue to provide quality arts education, entertainment, and community focused programs that support our mission.  In return, you will be prominently promoted throughout Broward County as an official sponsor.

Dillard Center for the Arts is Broward County’s exclusive and premiere high school magnet program that strives to provide unique and extraordinary artistic experiences for our students by augmenting the school’s budget with private funds. These funds come from private citizens, corporations and foundations who realize that sound financial investments should be made in schools such as Dillard Center for the Arts, where high returns are generated for the community.

Corporate Giving

Corporate/Business and community support is invaluable to our program, as it provides the future artist of tomorrow the opportunity to gain the types of extra ordinary experiences that students with a deep passion for studying at a Visual & Performing Arts Magnet school should receive. Cash and in-kind support from sponsors help to bridge the gap between what the public school system can provide and the actual resources our students need to be prepared for success either in college or in the professional world. Whatever your business does, we probably have a program or event that could use it.

Become an Angel of DCA

A special title is reserved for our most generous individual supporters: Angels of DCA. Through their annual support of $500+, the Angels of DCA make every aspect of the magnet program possible.

Become a Business Star
Local businesses that support DCA with an annual gift of $500+ are known as DCA’s Business Stars! Show your support for Broward Schools’ only high school Visual & Performing Arts program while also enjoying special benefits.
