PLEASE consider for a moment how much SNC contributes to the quality of life in this area and imagine what your life and your family's would be without it.

SINCE our founding in 1981, the Sautee Nacoochee Center has enriched our community with outstanding cultural, historical, educational, and artistic opportunities. In 2023 we celebrate our 42 years, a milestone that only 12 percent of non-profits ever reach.

This remarkable achievement is possible only because of you and the rest of our supporters and volunteers who contribute their money, time, and talents to make the Center such a special place.

What does the Annual Fund do?

In 2021-2022 it funded:

  • 5,000 visitors attending WinterFest Arts Tour 2022, a cooperative venture with the Helen Winter Art Festival (Helen Arts & Heritage Center), and the Sautee Nacoochee Arts Festival. The Economic impact of the event returned $383,000 in revenues and taxes to the White County community.
  • 48,300 students, visitors, and families participating in, enjoying, engaging with programs over 12 months in a county with a population of 30,000.
  • For the first time in many years, SNCA has a paid staff person to manage environmental activities. An Environmental Heritage Core Committee formed to support program activities, which include educating the community about land use policy, habitat enrichment through native plantings, and climate change.
  • The mounting of the second of two exhibits highlighting the work of female Folk Potters, "The Men Won't Tell Us Anything." Women of Georgia Folk Pottery (born 1950s to present).
  • A collaborative celebration of Juneteenth with Nacoochee United Methodist Church through gatherings at the African American Heritage Site and the Church's historic slave cemetery, along with demonstrations, educational materials and special exhibits in the Folk Pottery Museum.
  • A summer Youth Theatre Camp for 25 local children, a production by the Sautee Stars of Once on This Island JR to SRO audiences, and a variety of youth classes ranging from yoga to gardening.
  • The operation of the Center following the CDC and OSHA Guidelines for Phase 2 Opening as defined by the State of Georgia. The Center continues to put the safety of families, students, visitors, volunteers, and staff at the forefront of its operation.
