Helping Our Mission: Our Sustaining Member's Nonprofit Donations

The heart of everything drawchange achieves is powered by the unwavering support of our community. We mean it when we say every dollar makes a difference. As we continue to strengthen our mission and its impact, our ​​art therapy activities depend on those who give their continuous financial support: our Sustaining Members.



What is a Sustaining Member?

A Sustaining Member is anyone who pledges a monthly monetary gift of $25 or more.


How does a Sustaining Member help drawchange?

Sustaining Members’ committed donations affect our yearly budget planning. Having a reliable source of income each month allows us to strategically plan and strengthen the implementation of our mission. While we appreciate our one-time donations, our sustaining members enable us to think long-term about our operations.

Funds from Sustaining Members help cover our monthly costs associated with: 

  • Overhead expenses: office rent, telephones, staff

  • Art supplies

  • Programmatic expenses: art therapists, art supplies, volunteer management


We provide art therapy-based programs in Atlanta, Orlando, New Mexico, Ethiopia, and beyond. And we’re able to provide these consistent safe spaces for children to create in due to the consistent contributions of our Sustaining Members.


Why should YOU become a Sustaining Member?

Becoming a Sustaining Member is one of the most impactful ways to help our art therapy-based programs continue to succeed and expand to reach the thousands of children on our waiting list. If you have the financial means to contribute monthly, it’s an immediate way to give back to your community. We show our gratitude by sending heartfelt gifts to Sustaining Members of framed children's drawings, ceramic artwork, drawchange swag, and more.

How do you become a Sustaining Member?

Our Sustaining Members are the foundation of our efforts. Every monthly donation allows us to determine our budget and from there plan our future endeavors. We greatly appreciate our Sustaining Members as without them we couldn't reach underserved youth through the benefits of art therapy. Our programs within and outside of the United States are made possible with a committed nonprofit donation. We kindly ask you to consider becoming a Sustaining Member.
