🎉 PCDC Monthly Giving Campaign – We Need Our Community 🎉
VMAC/PCDC NEEDS YOUR HELP! While we may look like we’re doing well from the outside, the truth is that we are operating on a shoestring budget to keep this community space alive.
For the past eight months, the three operation managers who keep VMAC running — Deblin, Carolina, and Jamal — have volunteered their time and gone without a paycheck so that classes, socials, and our cultural programs could continue.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re launching our Monthly Giving Campaign to raise $5,000/month in recurring donations. Monthly support is what will make the difference between keeping VMAC open or being forced to close our doors.
If VMAC has impacted your life — through dance, community, friendships, or belonging — we ask from our hearts that you consider becoming a monthly donor. Even $10 or $25 a month helps more than you know. And all donations are tax-deductible, since we are a nonprofit.
👉 Donate or share the campaign with your friends & family:
