YES! I choose to make a tax-deductible unrestricted contribution to the Cinema Arts Centre.
(If you would like to make a gift over the phone or make an appointment to speak to the Development Department for any reason, please CLICK HERE to make a phone appointment, and a member of our team will call you.)
The Vic Skolnick Life of Our Cinema Campaign is our annual appeal for fully tax-deductible donations that help us to deliver our mission, this year, and for years to come. We must raise $160,000 by December 31 to support our programs, operations, and our recovery. Thank you.
The idea of expression and communication and understanding other cultures, those are all the values that make good, kind people. And I think that’s all we can hope to engender in this world.
Alan Cumming
The Cinema Arts Centre is a 501(c)3 not-for profit organization. The mission of the Cinema Arts Centre is to bring the best in cinematic artistry to Long Island, and use the power of film to expand the awareness and consciousness of our community.
We make a difference in our community by:
- Using the power of film to create empathy in a world where empathy is greatly needed
- Providing a venue for conversations and connections, serving as a true community center and what many of our members call their “home away from home”
- Generating approximately $7,000,000 in spending in our local economy through our role as an employer and our ability to attract visitors to our area
- Educating and mobilizing on important issues that are relevant to our members and patrons
