OUR COMMON GROUND

OUR COMMON GROUND is a nonprofit organization based in Bond County, IL, founded to establish an appreciation for the arts and for local and regional artists.  "Education can make all the difference.  Not all at once, but through thousands of small conversations.  A community cannot appreciate what it never gets to see or hear."  --Martha Radcliff

Our Common Ground cannot bring all of this cultural enrichment on its own. We are reliant on people like you to help us make these events possible. If you have supported us before, thank you. Won’t you please consider helping us with a donation again this year?

If you have never supported the arts in your community, perhaps this is the year to consider doing so. Every dime donated to Our Common Ground goes toward making our events a reality. Not one dime of your hard-earned donation goes into a board member’s personal pocket. We are an all-volunteer organization. We will honor your request if there is one event you wish to sponsor more than any other.

Those who support the arts are publicly thanked by Our Common Ground in all literature printed, on signage at the event, in ads published in local papers and on our website.

Please send a check to:
Our Common Ground
422 W. Harris Ave.
Greenville, IL  62246

You will receive a tax-deductible receipt.  Thanks again.
