As Tacoma's City Council considers the program's first opportunity for reauthorization in early 2025, we want to hear from you! Click here to start the Tacoma Creates Community Survey<https://www.tral-engage.com/project/24/survey/43> Tacoma Creates<https://tacomacreates.org/> is the first cultural access program of its kind in Washington State: it was passed by voters in 2018 with a 67% approval rating. The 0.1% sales tax that supports this program must be reauthorized every 7 years. The state law now allows for City Councils to authorize or reauthorize a cultural access program, and as Tacoma's City Council considers reauthorization in early 2025, the City is seeking community input on the role and impact of Tacoma Creates funding. Tacoma Creates currently funds over 70 local arts, culture, heritage, and science non-profits in our community, supporting programming in schools, libraries, parks, community centers, museums, and performing arts venues throughout the City. Check out the list of currently Funded Organizations<https://www.tacomacreates.org/funded-organizations> to see how many you know. How does this matter to our community?
