After such an important and successful fundraising event, I'd like to take a moment to update everyone on the impact (if you didn't get this emailed newsletter this morning, sign up here: https://awakeningmindsart.org/newsletter)
With your support, we raised over $50,000 in gross proceeds at the 15th Annual Awakening Minds Art Auction, and we’re so excited to share this success with you.
- To put it into perspective, this amount is more than a quarter of our total revenue from last year, and it helps ensure that our pricing stays low for our facilities and families while program accessibility stays high. Your generosity is truly making a big difference.
$10,000 Invested in Our Future
- Of the funds raised, $10,000 from the Mission Auction is going straight into our Endowment Fund, which we call our Forever Fund, at the The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation . This fund helps us build long-term stability so your impact lasts for years to come.
The Rest Is Already at Work
- The remaining funds are already helping us sustain and expand our programs across the community. This includes senior living facilities, nonprofit organizations, day habilitation programs, community classes, school classrooms, and one-on-one sessions with students. In 2024, Awakening Minds Art served 131 unique groups and reached 7,222 students throughout the year. Thanks to your support, we’re set to grow that impact even further.
Thank you for standing with us, investing in healing through creativity, and being a vital part of this movement. We couldn’t do it without you.
