Aurora Public Art Commission Fund

Established 1996

 

Aurora Public Art Commission Fund was created to provide support for public events, facilities, projects and activities of the Aurora Public Art Commission.  The principal of the fund is available to assist this charitable organization.

Public Art maintains a gallery space on the third floor of the David L. Pierce Art & History Center and presents a series of annual exhibitions there each year. Aurora Public Art also commissions and maintains outdoor public art installations, including large-scale murals, public sculptures, and utility box murals.

Contributions to this fund may be used for paint, supplies, stipends, educational programs, events, and other expenses associated with Aurora Public Art’s mission.

For more information, please visit the City of Aurora website.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.

[Renewing Scholarship Recipient] Graduate of Hinkley-Big Rock High School

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

Being a part of the Community Foundation scholarship committee is the highlight of my year. For many, a scholarship from the Community Foundation is the reason they are able to continue reaching for their dreams and changing the future of our world. I hope each recipient knows just how inspirational they are to those of us who are lucky enough to read their stories.
