B.T.S. Community Art Center Story

B.T.S. STORY

The B.T.S. Community Art Center’s goal is to help reduce the poverty rate of 14.8% in Hernando County by providing opportunities to at least 500 underprivileged children each month. With the right artistic tools, we believe our programs will benefit the children and young adults with opportunities for successful future. The IRS granted the 501 (c) (3) non-profit status to HJ Foundation, Inc., DBA: B.T.S. Community Art Center in 2017, allowing all donations to be exempt from federal income tax.

B.T.S. COMMUNITY ART CENTER

The B.T.S. Community Art Center was established in 2015 to provide Music, Vocal, Dance, Drama, Visual arts, Media Arts, Basketball, and the B.T.S. Teen Media Programs which include Acting, Video Studio, Photography studio, Digital art studio, Music design studio, Radio broadcasting, B.T.S TV News lessons and much more. These programs will be provided through grants or an affordable fee. The B.T.S. Community Art Center is operated by a group of professional volunteers in Hernando County. Our volunteers dedicate their time, effort, and skills to create an opportunity for these children and young adults to fully develop their God-given talents.

FUNDS NEEDED FOR THE B.T.S. ART CENTER.

The B.T.S. Community Art Center will continue to work to help make a difference in the lives of people like these children living in Hernando County. Each person affected by not being able to attend lessons due to lack of funds has reason to hope because great initiatives such as ours are striving to provide them with the opportunities to continue with their artistic talents. Therefore, continuing with such programs is essential to help the over thousands of less fortunate parents who are affected by not being able to afford art lessons for their children each year.

DONATION NEEDED

However, since our mission is accomplished through the kindness of others, and we are in need of everything in order to make this project comes true. We are in need of funds to help pay for expenses and a location that can accommodate the programs we are offering.

FUNDS NEEDED TO BUY INSTRUMENTS

Furthermore, we need equipment and supplies for the programs. So, your contribution in money, land, building, instruments, video and photo cameras, recording studio and radio equipment, and supplies are needed very much if you can help us.

 

Today, you can make an immediate difference in the life of a child or a young adult. Your donation will help create opportunities for grants or an affordable fee for those who would not otherwise be able to afford services like ours anywhere else.

FUNDS NEEDED FOR THE PROGRAMS

We are asking businesses, Churches, Schools, organizations, clubs, and individuals to join us in meeting the needs of those less fortunate talented ones in Hernando County.

B.T.S. MISSION

Our mission is to empower members of a new generation with the right artistic tools that can help transform their lives, their communities, and their worlds. Our project is very unique. Due to the lack of funding, many of the schools in Hernando County do not offer most of the programs that we are making available for those children in the B.T.S. Community Art Center.
