Your gifts moved us closer to closing our funding gap for this fiscal year. In fact, they helped us MORE THAN EXCEED our May fundraising goal!
Remember what “funding gap” means? It’s where we must get to financially to deliver our multidisciplinary arts programs to nearly 300 adults and children with disabilities every month. This spring, one Special Education teacher told us that, because of Upstream Arts, “One of my students was able to display emotions that we hadn’t seen before.”
As we close out our fiscal year on June 30, please know that it takes just $39 per week to bring the arts to one student–to provide a safe, creative environment in which she can freely explore her abilities and express her emotions. $468 covers a whole semester of Upstream Arts programming for that student.
