a legacy of access.
THANK YOU!
Thanks to generous contributions from more than 200 individuals, families, foundations and corporations, Bravo raised more than $2.5 million to support Passport to Culture in perpetuity. These gifts ensure that students across the region can experience the life-changing magic of arts and culture for generations to come.
An investment in ARTS & CULTURE access for our youth is an investment in our community’s future health and economic prosperity.
Every gift to the Passport to Culture Campaign ensures that access to arts and culture is embedded into every Greater Des Moines student’s experience for generations to come.
