Dear Friends,
What a year of learning it has been. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to arts and humanities education for DC students. No more than ever, our work providing arts and humanities learning opportunities means so much for so many students and teachers.
The DC Collaborative is so grateful to each of you --our members, partners, teachers, volunteers and supporters-- for the time that you devote to providing amazing learning experiences for our DC students: their first opera, their first museum visit, their first play, their love of the arts and humanities. We know students are better strategic thinkers and active community citizens and more empathetic as a result of the experiences that you make possible!
Thank you for the tens of thousands of smiles that result from their experiences! Please help us make more of these opportunities possible with a year-end donation.
Are you like us, still shopping for those last minute holiday gifts and stocking stuffers? Or, heading out for a holiday coffee or drink with friends or colleagues? For the price of 2 lattes or a stocking stuffer you can personally help us provide one life changing field-trip experience for a DC student! You can make your year-end gift to the DC Collaborative online by
clicking here! With your support, we hope to raise enough money for 700 smiles ($13,000 - just $19 each,) to provide enriching and transformative arts and cultural experiences for DC students.
Thank you again for all of the ways that you support the DC Collaborative. Our work is not always easy, but we gain strength and inspiration from each of you in our arts and humanities education community of practice. That brings a very big collective smile to our staff and board.
With gratitude, good cheer, and smiles, Happy Holidays!
Lissa and Tracey.

More Field-Trips | More Smiles
For More DC Students
Please help us raise $13,000 by December 31st
What better way to celebrate the holidays than to see a smile on a child's face. Here at
DC Collaborative we have been thrilled to see so many smiles this year.
Will $19 Make a Difference?
Yes! It Will!
With your support, we hope to raise enough money before December 31st to provide enriching and transformative arts and cultural experiences for at least 700 DC students ($13,000)
That's just $19 per student!
What If Everyone Donated $19...
If everyone who reads this message were to donate just $19 we could provide an additional 5,000 students with arts and humanities education experiences!
That's a lot of smiles!!
Please donate here and make your year end gift to the DC Collaborative and support arts and humanities education in Washington, DC!
19 Years. $19 Per Student...
Our 100 members provide brilliant arts and humanities educational experiences for DC students and we are proud to be the organization that gives students equitable access to these events. During the past 19 years we have worked with our partners and members to provide over 550,000 DC students the opportunity to see their first ballet, hear their first concert, visit a museum for the first time, or sit in a theater to see their first play.
In a city with an abundance of cultural assets there is no reason students should not explore the arts and humanities. We owe them the privilege of equitable access and the chance to learn and grow, as well as discover potential arts and humanities related careers.
