From the Executive Director

As we reflect on an impactful 2024, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our donors, volunteers, and community partners. Your unwavering support has enabled us to advance our mission in new and exciting ways—empowering individuals through the arts and community engagement.
This year, we achieved a positive financial surplus while expanding our scholarship initiatives and deepening our community relationships. Every dollar raised and every hour volunteered has amplified our impact. As we look ahead, our commitment remains steadfast: to provide equal access to the arts, nurture emerging talent, and foster a vibrant community spirit.
Thank you for making 2024 a year of remarkable growth and transformation.

We are a non-profit that amplifies the arts.
Our mission focuses on supporting the youth in our community who face economic barriers to participating in the arts. Participation may come in the form of private lessons or group classes in music, art, theater, or other art forms that enrich their lives.
Creativity is essential to a well-rounded education. It helps children to think outside the box and to view the world in new and exciting ways. Unfortunately, many schools are cutting back on their arts programs due to budget constraints. The Bowling Green Amplify Foundation (BGAF) is a non-profit organization committed to ensuring that all children have access to creative arts programs. With the support of local businesses and community members, we provide financial assistance to families who want to enroll their children in dance, music, or artistic classes. We also work with other camps to offer scholarships for summer camp programs and other creative activities. By helping to pay for tuition and other expenses, we enable children from all backgrounds to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.
The BGAF is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization on a mission to help strengthen the many arts programs in our community by offering scholarships and financial aid to those in need. There are many learning opportunities that often go overlooked because they may seem out of reach or impossible to afford, but we are here to help!
We are seeking out individuals who have an interest in participating in these arts programs, be it music, dance, theater, painting, yoga, or any other creative output that can enrich their lives.
By helping to pay for tuition and other expenses, we enable children from all backgrounds to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.
