Donate to the Durango Creative District

General Donations

Donations help the DCD beautify the Durango community, create a collaborative cultural vision for our community through the DCD's Cultural Plan, diversify our local economy, advocate for sustainable funding to go towards our beloved arts and culture nonprofits, attract creative entrepreneurs to our community, celebrate and strengthen our unique identity, and improve our local quality of life.

In addition, we will also be seeking outside grant funding for our community in partnership with the City of Durango and the nonprofit community, maintaining and growing a vibrant physical Creative District, managing our website and Creative Directory, and working to fulfill goals outlined in our Cultural Plan and City of Durango's Comprehensive Plan.
