Next Thursday, February 23, 2012, The Girls' Club in Fort Lauderdale will present "USA Projects Microphilanthropy for Artists Lunch Talk" with Katherine DeShaw, Executive Director of United States Artists, USA.
USA is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to investing in America's finest artists and to illuminating the value of artists to society.
USA Projects is the first microphilanthropy site dedicated exclusively to artists living and working in the United States, where anyone can discover original projects from some of today’s most innovative artists and make tax-deductible donations to support their work.
With a funding success rate of over 75%, USA Projects has raised over $1.4 million in funded projects thanks to the pledges of more than 8,000 unique donors, who have helped hundreds of artists realize original projects with funding goals ranging from $2,500 to $50,000.
Through the USA Fellows program, which annually awards 50 unrestricted grants of $50,000 to outstanding performing, visual, media, and literary artists across the country, USA has put $15 million in the hands of artists in the six years since its founding.
Bring your lunch on Thursday and join DeShaw as she shares information about the USA Projects Microphilanthropy for Artists initiative during a special presentation at The Girls' Club.

The Girls’ Club is located at 117 NE 2nd Street Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
