A Place of Personal Growth

Our  Mission
Winston-Salem Center for Education and the Arts (WSCEA) provides rent-free facilities in its owned buildings for nonprofit organizations so they can conduct their community outreach programs which educate and enhance the intellectual and creative skills of at-risk youth, disadvantaged citizens and emerging community leaders to create productive and confident community members.

Expenses, like rent, can keep many small nonprofits from maximizing their positive impact in the community. By providing rent-free space, these nonprofits can expand programming which develops more productive citizens within our community.

Our Nonprofit Partners

As of December 31, 2024, WSCEA has donated $2,396,728 in rental value to these nonprofit partners:

• Authoring Action (Since 2014): $406,756
• Dress for Success (Since 2014): $296,584
• Leadership Winston-Salem (Since 2014): $429,680
• Winston-Salem Street School (Since 2012): $1,263,708

How You Can Help
Your tax-deductible financial support is needed to maintain the building and the permanent rent-free space it provides. Your donations eliminate the major overhead expense of rent and enable these organizations to concentrate their resources on enhancing our community with effective education, training and leadership development.
