The Dauphin and District Allied Arts Council, Inc. (DDAAC) is a registered charitable organization, relying on funding from numerous sources for building upkeep and arts-related programs. There are many plans for the future, with sourcing of funds a constant challenge.

Direct donations enable us to immediately use the full amount of your gift for our heritage building and toward arts-related projects and programs at the Watson Art Centre. You may direct your contribution toward a specific project or program or authorize the DDAAC to use your gift where the board feels it is most urgently needed.

In September 2002 the Dauphin and District Allied Arts Council (DDAAC) passed a motion to create an Arts Legacy Fund. This fund is administered by the Dauphin and District Community Foundation (DDCF) as trustee. Contributions to this fund are invested by the DDCF in a safe manner, to preserve the original capital and to generate income each year. This income is then paid out to the DDAAC, ensuring the endowment fund will support, promote and enhance the arts and the Watson for many years to come. Additional information about the DDCF can be found at dauphincommunityfoundation.ca.
