SUPPORTERS AND DONORS

Ridgelines receives generous support from individuals and granting agencies. We are grateful to all those who enable us to work towards a central Pennsylvania in which imaginative acts have public consequence, in which the language arts are valued as critical forms of information, and in which everyone has equal voice.

2026 GRANT SUPPORT: Ridgelines' 2026 programs are supported in part through the Regional Arts Discretionary Fund of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the Wallace Foundation; through a Community Partnership with 3 Dots Downtown; through Centre Foundation’s partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; and through the Centre Foundation’s Janet Atwood Fund.
