In the Orchard Programming for the Arts launches first-ever subsidy program Some people are about to get a little help from a friend. In The Orchard Programming for the Arts (ITO), has launched its first-ever ITO Subsidy Program. In an effort to increase accessibility to ITO’s programs for all families in the Niagara region, special discounts are now available to the upcoming eight-week Art Camps. The rates are as follows: For families with parents and/or guardians on employment insurance or families with a single-parent, the cost for a week at Art Camp is $75 (which is a 50 per cent discount from the regular rate). For families with parents and/or guardians on Ontario Works Social Assistance, the cost of a week at Art Camp is $50

(which is a 66 per cent discount). Within the ITO vision and mandate is the desire to generate unique, creative programs for children and youth that are accessible to everyone—art that is inclusive, rather than exclusive. “I think this marks a significant milestone and accomplishment for ITO,” says In The Orchard Fund Developer Bryan White. “I grew up in a single-parent household for many years of my life and I know that access to this type of generosity and support would have been wonderful when I was young. Exploring my passion and affinity within the arts has been a truly profound and beautiful experience.” ITO has also launched its Send-A-Child-To-Art-

Camp Program. In an effort to update and simplify ITO’s sponsorship package, the organization has created a straight-forward, effective way for members of community to give back. Instead of making a donation to In The Orchard as a whole, where funds are allocated to our many different streams of programming, members of the community can now directly create an opportunity for a child or youth to go to Art Camp. The cost for a child or youth to enroll in a full week of Art Camp is $150, so for a donation of $150, donators are guaranteed that a child or youth from the Niagara region, who otherwise might not have the opportunity to participate in Art Camp, is given

that opportunity. “We have success stories from many of our participants over the past several years about their time at our Art Camps,” says White. “Art Camps are an accessible alternative to child care and with the wide variety of lesson plans and themes available, there’s really something for everyone. I’m particularly proud of our Send-A-Child-ToArt-Camp Program as it provides assurance to the generous contributors of the community that every dollar of their support goes directly to generating an opportunity for children and youth to go to camp.” ITO’s Fund Developer, Bryan White. /Special to the Voice
