Background Statement
At the Museum of Art | Fort Collins (MoA), art brings people together, sparks conversation, and deepens our understanding of one another. Every exhibition, event, and program is designed with our Northern Colorado community in mind. We exist for you.
In challenging times, art becomes a cultural touchstone, a way to see the world differently. Here, community members have learned, marveled, connected, created, healed, and found moments of respite.
As a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit, MoA fills a unique role in our region. We are not part of a university or local government, so we rely on individuals, local businesses, and grants to sustain our work. That independence keeps us nimble, creative, and responsive to our community.
It also brings challenges. Rising costs, shifting funding priorities, and economic uncertainty make it harder to plan ahead, even as the need for connection and creativity has never been greater.
This year, your donation goes further: Your gift will be doubled, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000, thanks to a generous group of donors.
