PartnerWith Us
We make more possible with partners who engage in our mission as advocates, co-creators, storytellers, and supporters. Join us as we shift the system to make more spaces to dream.
Support Our Work
Real estate takes an enormous amount of patient capital. We do the work to really consider the long-term health and viability of our projects.
While CAST is blazing an innovative trail with new ways of securing and financing buildings, there are multi-million upfront costs to acquire those spaces. Through your contributions, we can provide programming and space rentals at truly affordable rates.
Make a donation
A one-time or monthly contribution can help immediately fund CAST’s vital community engagement efforts, including artist honorariums, rental subsidies, and facilitation tools to support our Dreaming Spaces programming.
Become a core investment partner
Your support can shape the future of our cities. Through our Space to Dream Initiative, we can ensure long-term affordability and build the infrastructure for the arts so artists and cultural workers can remain anchored where they create.
