SUPPORTERS
Thank you!
On behalf of Kala’s Board, staff, and artists, we thank our creative and dedicated community of supporters. Your generosity played a vital role in helping Kala thrive during our 50th anniversary year. Thanks to your support, we raised over $500,000 for Kala’s Fund for the Future.
This list of supporters represents individual and institutional giving from October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024, including annual fund, general operating, program support, Fund for the Future, membership, and event sponsorship. We also want to express our gratitude to the generous artists, framers, media sponsors, restaurants, wineries, and other individuals and local businesses for their in-kind donations to our auction and throughout the year. You all make Kala possible!
