The Cultural Resources Council of Syracuse and Onondaga County is dedicated to ensuring the vitality and diversity of culture in Central New York.  Each year the Cultural Resources Council depends on the generous support of individuals, businesses, foundations, and government agencies in order to ensure the continuance of our programming.

Donor Opportunities Artists and Organizations The Council provides artists and organizations with tangible opportunities that enable them to create and develop their work. Your directed gift provides local artists the time, space, and tools necessary to create, and most importantly the belief in themselves and their creation. Cultural Programming From the documentation of living traditions to visual arts programming for businesses, from cultural performances in downtown Syracuse to mural projects in neighborhoods, from exhibition opportunities for professional artists to workshops and seminars for artists and organizations, your gift will have a lasting impact on our community. Youth Programs The Council creates the audiences and performers of tomorrow. We introduce thousands of schoolchildren to their first professional theatre performance. We connect high school theater and jazz students with professionals in their field to further their passion in the arts. General Operating Support By making a contribution to the Council your gift enables us to continue the good work that we do. The Council is also currently seeking support for our fundraising events. When you make a donation to the Council, you make a meaningful contribution to the overall artistic climate of Central New York.
