As the year comes to a close, many of us reflect on what truly matters: connection, creativity, curiosity and community. If you’re looking for a way to make a meaningful difference close to home, a year-end, tax-deductible gift to The Center for the Arts & Sciences does exactly that.
Our Goal is to Raise $26,000 by December 31.
Your support isn’t just a contribution. It’s a spark.
It fuels moments of wonder under the stars in the planetarium… the soaring power of symphonic music filling the concert hall… standing ovations in the theater… children discovering their talents in the art studio… families learning something new together in the museum.
How You Can Help:
- $5,000 — Help The Center thrive and grow.
- $2,500 — Strengthen daily operations that keep programs running.
- $1,000 — Sustain access to arts and science education for all ages.
- $500 — Support the essential shared costs that make every program possible.
- $250 — Keep the lights on for the next person who walks through our doors.
- $100 — Show your support for a place that brings people together.
Your gift today helps us finish the year strong and step boldly into 2026…ready to expand programs, deepen our impact and reach even more people with opportunities for creativity and discovery.
Giving from Your Retirement Account
If you are age 70½ or older, you may be able to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to The Center—potentially reducing your tax burden. A QCD may also help satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) if you are subject to that regulation. Please consult your tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation, as rules can be complex.
We’re proud to have earned the trust of national evaluators:
- Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator
- Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid
These honors affirm what our community already knows: your gift is meaningful, impactful and responsibly invested. *These ratings can be found by searching under our dba “Brazosport Fine Arts Council”, the organization that operates The Center for the Arts & Sciences.
When you give before December 31, you:
- Maximize your 2025 charitable tax deduction;
- Support arts and science education right here at home;
- Strengthen our cultural community for future generations; and
- Invest in an organization committed to transparency, stewardship and excellence.
Every gift, large or small, makes a real difference.
