Ways to Contribute
Help us sustain a Roanoke Valley that’s welcoming for all. Celebrate Diversity!
Individual Giving
Your contribution to Local Colors helps make our annual May festival a success, but it also does so much more than that! Our year-round events and services unite the different cultures of the Roanoke Valley to create a welcoming city. Our offerings are free because we want to encourage communal enjoyment of cultural diversity while educating about international traditions.
Your support aids us in building a strong, healthy community. Not only that, but your tax-deductible donations also help us to create new programming.
Please consider making a donation today!
Corporate Giving
Local Colors helps foster a better, more united community by embracing international diversity. As a member of Roanoke’s Arts & Culture network, we join in the city’s efforts to enhance the area’s attractiveness, which contributes to the region’s economic and social well-being. Our events and services are free to the public so that our multicultural platform is accessible to all. Corporate donations and sponsorships help Local Colors maintain its mission and contribute to the vibrancy of Roanoke and Western Virginia.
Corporate sponsorships are suited to maximize marketing exposure according to your needs and philanthropic goals. Please contact Lisa Spencer at (540) 904-2234 to inquire about corporate giving.
