How to Use Your RFA Funds
Young Audiences places RFA funds raised by YOU into an account reserved for your school’s use. You can spend your Run For The Arts funds for ANY educationally relevant arts programming. Please note that two deductions will be taken out of your account:
- 7% (of the total amount raised) from your RFA Funds, to help cover the direct program costs
- the cost of the T-shirts ($7.50 each) earned by the students
