Giving Tuesday

100 PEOPLE. $25 EACH. ART FOR ALL.

Your $25 will become $50 — every spark doubled by an anonymous donor.

On Giving Tuesday (December 2, 2025), we invite our community near and far to stand with us and support the belief that art is for everyone — especially in the Northwoods.

Emberlight brings world-class music, film, theatre, and visual art to our rural region — and over 70% of our festival is free. Young people 20 and under always attend at no cost.

This Giving Tuesday, help us keep it that way.

Our Goal: 100 donors giving $25

Just $25 fuels creative sparks across our community — from young people discovering the arts for the first time to families experiencing performances together.

$25 isn’t just a gift — it’s an invitation to imagination.

If 100 people give, we’ll unlock $2,500 to kick off our 2026 season of access, creativity, and community-driven culture.

JOIN THE CHALLENGE

Become an official Giving Tuesday 2025 donor today, and help us reach our goal of $25 gifts from 100 people. Donations accepted now until December 2 at 11:59pm CT.
