Support the Kids
Donate NowIt costs approximately $50 per month to teach and feed one child at the Akpe Cultural Center. That covers staff salaries, food, utilities, and supplies.
We and these kids will be so grateful for whatever you can do, either monthly or one time. The more supporters we have, the more kids we can serve.
The Akpe Cultural Center supports free children's programs and receives donations through our fiscal sponsor, Boulder County Arts Alliance (BCAA). Contributions made through BCAA are tax deductible in accordance with U.S. tax law.
The fund has no paid employees and is overseen by a volunteer board of directors who do most of the fund's work themselves and personally cover its modest expenses. Consequently, virtually all of your donation will be received by the Akpe Cultural Center. Annual IRS returns and other documentation are available for inspection on request; please contact us if you'd like to see them.
