What LINC Does

Directs and Supports Programs about Natural and Cultural Heritage Issues that Need Attention

LINC’s current focus includes the Florida Forever Calendar and Exhibit Program, Greater Everglades Conservation Atlas, Gulf Coast Fishermen Project, and publicity and documentation that support the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

Serves as a Fiscal Agent for Projects that Serve LINC’s Mission

LINC may serve as a fiscal agent as a means to further its mission while assisting people who otherwise may not be eligible to receive funding for their art or communications projects. The ArtsLINC program serves as a main source for contacts for such projects.

As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, LINC is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions and can offer its non-profit status as a means for qualified projects to receive support. In addition, under such a partnership, LINC provides mentorship, website and newsletter publicity, help with public relations and marketing efforts, and access to a community of other artists and professional communicators—and all this for a low, five percent administrative fee.
