The giving season reminds us what matters most: the moment a student experiences pride after creating something meaningful—a painting, a song, a performance. That creative discovery transforms how young people see themselves and their potential.

At the Cathedral Arts Project, your support creates immediate impact. A $25 donation provides art supplies for students. $50 covers a week of music instruction. $100 brings dance education to students who would otherwise never have access.

Every gift strengthens our ability to serve more students throughout Northeast Florida.

Support CAP Students Today
As we close out this year and approach the finish line of our REIMAGINE Campaign, we`re grateful for donors who understand how the arts transform young lives. Your support has strengthened generations of students in Jacksonville—building confidence, developing creative abilities and opening doors to new possibilities.

Participation in the arts creates extraordinary change in the lives of children that sets them up to succeed in school and in life. Research consistently shows clear links between arts involvement and positive outcomes in academics, creative and critical thinking, personal behavior, and social and civic participation. These benefits reinforce the essential value of the arts to enrich not only individual children and young adults, but also their communities.
