Donate to the Asheville Downtown Association Foundation to support projects across Downtown Asheville!

Downtown Asheville is the vibrant heart of Western North Carolina—where creativity, community, and commerce meet. The Asheville Downtown Association Foundation (ADAF), the 501(c)(3) arm of the Asheville Downtown Association, is dedicated to placemaking and educational programming that enriches downtown life.

The Foundation has spearheaded numerous projects that enhance the look, feel, and experience of our city—from beautification and lighting to public art, to establishing the Asheville Downtown Improvement District's Ambassador program, and community gatherings that bring people together.

Your support keeps this momentum going. Every contribution helps ADAF continue improving public spaces, supporting small businesses, and creating experiences that make downtown Asheville shine year-round. Together, we can keep downtown clean, safe, vibrant, and full of the creative energy that makes it truly one of a kind.
