Our Donors
and In-Kind Supporters
We are eternally grateful for everyone who has made our work possible.
Our original supporters were elementary school parents and local artists who felt strongly about staying in proximity to our students and growing organically. Our philosophy remains the same.
*Supporters listed reflect gifts made between May 1st 2024 and May 1st 2025.
