FRIENDS OF SOLON CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Purpose
Friends of Solon Center for the Arts was established to work in good faith with the City of Solon to ensure the long-term viability of SCA. The funding purpose of the Friends is based on the assumption that the City of Solon will continue to fund SCA at a comparable and reasonable level into the future. The City has the responsibility to meet the growing and diversified needs of its citizens. FSCA will, therefore, secure resources to fund additional and expanded programs, activities, events and related expenses beyond those costs of services more appropriately funded by the City of Solon.

Mission Statement
Friends of Solon Center for the Arts is a non-profit organization formed to engage in support and fundraising activities that increase the viability of Solon Center for the Arts.
Funds from the Friends of Solon Center for the Arts are provided through membership dues, gifts and various fundraising projects to support the Center’s programs, activities and items not available in the Center’s regular operation budget.
Friends will coordinate and encourage the giving of charitable gifts - financial and in-kind, endowments and bequests to the Center and its programs for the cultural enrichment of the community.
Friends believe a strong arts center in Solon is a valuable intellectual, cultural, educational and recreational resource that adds to the quality of life in the community.
