Awakening Minds Art Announces 2022 End-of-Year Fundraising Goals

Originally posted on 11/23/2022

Giving Tuesday: a day where the nation comes together to show their support for their favorite charities! Traditionally, the day is held the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This year, that date falls on Tuesday, November 29th.

Many nonprofits use this date to kick start an entire season of giving called an End of Year Campaign (EOY). Afterall, the end of year is critical for nonprofits to reach their financial goals and set their mission-driven organizations up for success in the following year.

​Awakening Minds Art looks towards the future for this 2022 campaign, and we are excited to share the details with you! We’ve decided to start the “AMA Future Fund.”

In 2020, our entire organization shut down and all of our staff was laid off due to the pandemic. This year, after a scary couple years, we’ve been fortunate to find ourselves in a confident position, asking ourselves, “what’s the next responsible step forward for the organization?”

The answer seemed clear. Learn from the past.

We’ve learned the importance of having an emergency fund that can help the organization stay afloat during emergencies. We’ve learned from 2020, and we are ready to implement a more sustainable, responsible future for our organization.

Gifts given up until the New Year will go towards this AMA Future Fund (unless otherwise specified). Our starting goal is $3,000, and we will continue to make new goals annually for building the reserve.

This new fund is an important step for the long-term success of Awakening Minds Art. Having the flexibility to prioritize the future safety and well-being of our staff and students no matter what the circumstances, makes AMA programming stronger NOW.

Please consider a donation in support of the AMA Future Fund!

Awakening Minds Art is a resilient organization that our community has spoken loudly in support of.  To watch our documentary video, click here!
