Why donate to IEATA?

As an international association and registering body, IEATA collects membership and application fees—so you might be wondering why we’re also requesting donations.

And we understand! We’re only asking because donations make such a big difference.

To be frank, IEATA’s fees represent the minimum required to keep our global organization running.

We keep fees as low as possible (including a sliding scale based on country of residence) so that membership remains equitable and accessible—because the expressive arts are for everyone.

Generous gifts of time, money, and energy are what allow IEATA to not only survive but to truly thrive as a mission-driven organization for growth and healing.
