Invest in the Next 40 Years of Visionary Cultural Initiatives Downtown

Supporting Lower Manhattan Cultural Council is the best way to stay involved with Downtown’s vibrant future.

Now celebrating our 40th anniversary, LMCC remains dedicated to advancing artists, inspiring audiences, and catalyzing communities through our Public Programs, Manhattan Community Arts Grants, Professional Development for Artists, and Artist Residencies — all of which are made possible through the generous support of corporations, foundations, government entities, and individuals like YOU.

Become a Friend of LMCC with a donation in honor of LMCC’s 40th anniversary and demonstrate your shared belief that arts and culture are change agents in sustainable cities. Your gift is an investment that will help ensure that all our programs remain FREE for everyone who lives, works, learns, and plays in New York City for another 40 years.

“Having been involved Downtown for many years, I have watched the area evolve into a vibrant community. And no community can be truly vibrant without the arts. LMCC has helped improve the quality of life Downtown by infusing it with arts and culture, and its arts initiatives and cultural programs have increased tourism and improved the attractiveness of the area for both workers and residents. The cultural vitality that LMCC helps create will continue to be an essential part of the community fabric for the next decade and beyond. I am pleased to be part of and to support such a vital organization, and I encourage you to join me.”

— Cherrie Nanninga, Outgoing Board Chair


“I can’t think of any other arts organization that has had such a lasting, sustained, and direct impact upon the daily lives of New Yorkers — both artist and non-artist alike. There is a body of work across all artistic disciplines that would not have been created in New York City without the support of LMCC… As a donor and an artist, I want to see these valuable efforts increased and contribute to the cultural life of the City.”

—Kevin Doyle, Friend of LMCC
