Our membership is affordable.

Other South Florida arts organizations charge $1000 and up. CIA dues are $150 per year.

We are the only South Florida Arts Group that does extensive fundraising.

Our fundraising activities not only enable us to earn more money for grants,

but also make our events sociable and culturally driven.

We invite Grantees to perform at our events

or visit Grantees as they rehearse. 

In 2012, we added two exciting new programs:

Sail Away With CIA: 

our first fundraising cruise

Grantees on Parade:

our first stage performance

Our donor levels are affordable for all.

No matter what your philanthropic budget may be,

you will find a home at CIA.

CIA Members cross all ages,

socio-economic groups and ethnicities.

We ARE South Florida. We love the arts and are

not willing to let them succumb to ever-present

budget cuts and oversights

On average, 75% of all grant dollars awarded by CIA

go to Grantee applicant programs that

directly impact children.

Some Grantee programs are school-based,

some community-based and some outreach-based.

The overall result guarantees that our

South Florida children are culturally and creatively

engaged in multiple ways and

multiple times during the year.
