Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

YG2D is a 501(c)3 non-profit brining diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death and dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality, with concerts, open mics, workshops for the general population, and programming specific to hospice patients, cancer patients, and our prison community.

  • We host shows, performances and workshops in accordance with our mission. These take the form of small group workshops, open mics, and larger benefit concerts. We held 35 events throughout the year, both online and in person. We served over 4000 individuals through these events throughout the year.

    Expenses $43,762 · Grants $30,000

  • Our Executive Director, Ned Buskirk, is contracted through YG2D by UCSF Art For Recovery program to bring creative writing workshops to cancer patients at UCSF. Ned sees approximately 50 patients per week, roughly 20% are repeat visits, and serves these patients 3 days a week.

    Expenses $33,019 · Grants $33,019

  • Alive Inside is our prison program. We work inside prisons, including San Quentin in California and Marion and London Correctional Institutions in Ohio to bring music, creative writing workshops, and performance opportunities to incarcerated individuals. Our Executive Director, Ned Buskirk, is a weekly facilitator for the Light Keepers, a peer support suicide prevention program inside San Quentin. Our team also works with groups of exonerated individuals who were wrongfully convicted, through workshops and retreats with the Ohio Innocence Project. In 2023 we facilitated a program at the annual Innocence Network Conference, and our Alive Inside program served approximately 400 incarcerated or exonerated individuals and their family members.
