Support Maureen’s Legacy 

Help Us Honor Executive Director Maureen Dwyer’s 27 Years of Leadership  

Give a gift today in her honor

After 27 years with Sitar Arts Center, including 15 as executive director, Maureen Dwyer is stepping down this summer.

In her honor, we are raising $100,000 to establish the Community Anchor Fund.  

This fund carries forward Maureen’s visionary, community-centered spirit by building flexible resources and sustainable capacity for Sitar’s future leaders. Specifically, this Board-designated fund will allow for strategic, one-time draws to meet urgent community needs or seize time-sensitive, unbudgeted opportunities as they arise.   

Give $27 for Maureen’s 27 years of impact, or $270, $2,700, or whatever feels meaningful to you.

When young people voice a new need, your gift helps us say “yes.” When partnership opportunities arise, your gift helps us act. When our team needs training to meet community challenges, your gift helps us invest.   

Together, we can anchor Maureen’s legacy of responsive, community-centered leadership as Sitar grows into the future.
