<div>Hi, we're the 3-dozen-plus artist &amp; musician tenants of Central Street Studios in Somerville, MA. Our building is transitioning ownership, and we need your support to help raise the necessary funds for the next steward of the building to keep the artist studios intact and affordable!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We aim to raise $100,000 to close the funding gap for The Arts &amp; Business Council of Greater Boston (ABC) to purchase the building with significant financial support from Mayor Katjana Ballantyne &amp; the City of Somerville.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are grateful to our founders, Karen &amp; Paul Morse, Nancy Dutton &amp; David Benson, for nurturing our creative community for over 40 years &amp; for choosing to find a buyer committed to their mission of keeping affordable artists workspaces in Somerville.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please join us at our <strong>Preservation Party/Community Arts Advocacy Event April 21</strong>, 7-9pm at Warehouse XI in Somerville's Union Square. Meet the artists, bid on auction prizes, participate in on-site advocacy. Attend free with RSVP: <a href="https://preservecentralstreetstudios.eventbrite.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>You may donate here, via this GoFundMe platform, or by mailing a check to ABC. You may also donate stocks &amp; bonds &amp; even via Donor Advised Funds (details below). </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>All donations are tax-deductible. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations $1000+ may be made online through this artists’ GoFundMe online fundraiser, or <strong>via pledge form</strong> through the Arts &amp; Business Council of Greater Boston.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donate by Check</strong> (instead of online)

<div><strong>Donate with Donor-Advised Funds </strong>
</div>
<div>Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) are an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Just contact your Donor-Advised Fund administrator to recommend a grant to this project. You can recommend that your favorite public charities, such as Preserve Central Street Studios through Arts &amp; Business Council (ABC), receive grants from your Donor-Advised Fund. Most Donor-Advised Funds have a minimum grant recommendation, or you can recommend distributing the entire balance of your Donor-Advised Fund for a cause important to you. ABC is grateful for grants from Donor-Advised Funds. Make your DAF gift <a href="https://dafwidget.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.
