The impact of your gift by the numbers.

In 2022 alone, California Center for the Arts Escondido was able to:

Create a $3.4 million impact to the downtown core of Escondido with over 85,000 people attending our performing arts events
Deliver artistic programming to 5,129 students in the Escondido school districts alone
Create a unique experience for over 16,500 patrons to our museum with four new exhibitions each year
As a hub for collaboration, give for over 84 organizations each year, 39 of which are other non-profit organizations, a state of the art facility in which to have their events.

Our events and programs are only possible with your tax deductible gift.

We believe that the arts not only enhance our everyday lives, they help define a culture. We put aside differences and come together as we enjoy something beautiful, intriguing, or up-lifting. Your support today will inspire young artists, bring families together at our Museum, and create the platform in which community happens.

GET MORE TAX BENEFITS BY GIVING STOCK

Did you know that you can renew your CCAEF membership with appreciated stock? Transferring appreciated stock that you have owned longer than a year to CCAEF has many benefits including:

You will receive a charitable deduction for the value of the stock on the transfer date.
You avoid capital gains tax.
Avoid the net investment tax.

These benefits combined make the “cost” of the gift lower to you. Cash gifts, in comparison, only give you a charitable deduction. CCAEF is exempt from capital gains tax when we sell the stock.
