A Historic Gift Fuels Creativity in the West

December 9, 2025

In a powerful affirmation of our decades-long work, Creative West can today announce that we have received a transformational, $16 million unrestricted gift from MacKenzie Scott. This is the second gift from MacKenzie Scott since 2021, and the largest in our organization’s history. We are deeply grateful for this generous recognition of our work. 

The gift is a game-changer for arts, culture, and creativity in the West. It will allow us to deepen our support for the artists and arts organizations that make our region so vibrant. Creativity is essential to us all—now more than ever—and this investment will allow us to continue supporting those who make it happen in communities across the West and beyond.
