Of course, as you know, the work never stops. As Upstream Arts Co-founders Julie and Matt Guidry observed at The Art of We, our phone is ringing off the hook – the demand for our work currently is more than we can meet. In order to bring the arts to more people with disabilities at every stage of life, we must continue to invest in and grow the infrastructure of our organization in support of our programs.
On July 1, we will kick off our 10th Anniversary as a nonprofit organization working at the intersection of the arts, disability, and learning. To celebrate this exciting milestone and build capacity for the next decade of work, we are embarking on a new campaign to raise $100,000 in individual contributions by June 30, 2016. Can you be among the first to partner with us in this effort by contributing a gift of $10, $100, or $1000? Click here to make a tax-deductible gift right now.
We’re so grateful for your belief and support. Thank you for all that you do!
