Augusta’s Wilt Building Restoration Fund

Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future: 

For generations, our summer weeks have been more than workshops, they’ve been a homecoming for musicians, dancers, and artists who learn deeply, push themselves creatively, and find their people. This next chapter is our chance to grow with intention, strengthen what makes Augusta special, and ensure that future students have the same life-changing experiences you’ve had.

But we can’t do it without you.

Your support right now helps us secure the future. A dedicated space for classes, thriving jams, shared tables, and a dance floor that never sits still.

If Augusta has shaped your music, your friendships, or your sense of community, now is the time to step forward with a gift that ensure the Augusta experience for decades to come.

Augusta Discretionary Fund

For over 50 years, Augusta Heritage Center has been a trusted home for traditional music, dance, craft, and folklore. Your gift to the Augusta Discretionary Fund allows us to continue this legacy by supporting the day-to-day resources needed for program development, connecting participants to master artists, and keeping our hands-on educational experiences vibrant and accessible. With your support, you help ensure that Augusta remains a reliable, inspiring institution where living traditions are preserved, shared, and passed on for generations. Give today and be part of our lasting impact.

Augusta Scholarship Fund

Your support helps aspiring artists step into the spotlight and carry tradition forward.

The Augusta Scholarship Fund provides need-based scholarships to our educational programs, giving students of all ages the chance to learn from master artists, build their skills, and immerse themselves in the living traditions of music, dance, and craft. Every scholarship opens a door allowing participants to grow, share, and empowers us to continue to pass it on!

By giving today, you’re helping nurture the next generation of traditional artists and ensuring that these rich cultural traditions continue to thrive.

Augusta Grant Matching Fund

This fund helps us provide our matching contributions to the National Endowment for the Arts, The West Virginia Humanities Council, and the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture, and History. Your donation, in effect, gets doubled when applied to one of Augusta’s existing grants.
