Mission and programs · 2024

• IN THE PROFESSIONAL ARTIST SERIES PROGRAM (PAS), PROFESSIONAL TEACHING ARTISTS LEAD THE CHILDREN THROUGH FOCUSED ART-MAKING SESSIONS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP SKILLS AND SELF-EFFICACY. ART FORMS INCLUDE PAINTING, DRAWING, COOKING, DANCING, DRUMMING, AND BEAT MAKING. AT THE END OF EACH SERIES, CHILDREN CELEBRATE THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SHARE THEIR SKILLS AND TALENTS WITH THEIR PEERS AT A CULMINATING EVENT.

  Expenses $54,025

• DURING FREE ARTS DAYS (FAD), CHILDREN IN PARTNER SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES PRACTICE SELF-EXPRESSION WITH THE SUPPORT OF VOLUNTEER MENTORS DURING THESE ONE-DAY PROGRAMS HOSTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL ARTS AND CULTURE ORGANIZATIONS.

  Expenses $45,854

• THE WEEKLY MENTOR PROGRAM (WMP) MATCHES ADULT VOLUNTEER MENTORS WITH GROUPS OF CHILDREN LIVING IN SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES AND PROVIDES WEEKLY ART SESSIONS FOR UP TO 16 WEEKS. MENTORS USE TRAUMA-INFORMED TECHNIQUES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR GROUP, HELPING CHILDREN TO BUILD TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES CREATIVELY.

  Expenses $33,680

• THE FREE ARTS FAMILY POPULATION (FORMERLY REFERRED TO AS A PROGRAM) FOCUSES ON FAMILIES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAUMA THROUGH SITUATIONS SUCH AS FAMILY VIOLENCE, SEPARATION, OR HOMELESSNESS. FREE ARTS AIMS TO ENCOURAGE HARMONY AND RESILIENCE WITHIN THE FAMILY UNIT BY EMPOWERING PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS THROUGH EDUCATION ON TRAUMA INFORMED CARE AND ENGAGING CHILDREN IN ARTISTIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-DISCOVERY DURING THEIR FAMILY TRANSITIONS. PROGRAM EVENTS ARE DESIGNED FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY INCLUDING FOSTER, KINSHIP, AND ADOPTIVE FAMILIES AND CATER TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. WITH THEIR PARTICIPATION, FREE ARTS HOPES TO FOSTER A SAFE AND STABLE ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS FAMILY MEMBERS- BOTH PARENT/CAREGIVER AND CHILD- TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THEIR UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND USE THEM TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER TO CREATE A STRONG AND SECURE HOME ENVIRONMENT. (THE CHANGE OF REFERENCES FROM PROGRAM TO POPULATION REFLECTS THAT THIS GROUP ENGAGES IN THE SAME PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AS OUR OTHER POPULATIONS; NAMELY, FREE ARTS DAYS, PROFESSIONAL ARTIST SERIES, ETC.) THE RESILIENT ROOTS POPULATION (FORMERLY REFERRED TO AS A PROGRAM) IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SERVE UNACCOMPANIED REFUGEE MINORS IN COMMUNITIES IN ARIZONA. PARTICIPANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INCORPORATE ASPECTS OF THEIR CULTURE OF ORIGIN SUCH AS LANGUAGE, VALUES, AND CUSTOMS INTO THE INTENTIONAL ART ACTIVITIES TO HELP THEM BUILD RESILIENCY FROM BOTH PAST TRAUMAS AND NEW CHALLENGES THAT COME FROM BEING IN AN UNFAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT. BY HONORING THEIR STORIES WITH CULTURALLY FOCUSED ART ACTIVITIES, THEY WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO DEVELOP INDIVIDUALISTIC COPING STRATEGIES THAT WILL ENCOURAGE STRENGTH, PROMOTE FEELINGS OF HOPE, AND HELP THEM MAINTAIN THEIR UNIQUE IDENTITIES. (THE CHANGE OF REFERENCES FROM PROGRAM TO POPULATION REFLECTS THAT THIS GROUP ENGAGES IN THE SAME PROGRAM ACTIVITIES AS OUR OTHER POPULATIONS; NAMELY, FREE ARTS DAYS, PROFESSIONAL ARTIST SERIES, ETC.) CAMP BRINGS TOGETHER CHILDREN FROM MULTIPLE PARTNER AGENCIES TO ENGAGE IN ART ACTIVITIES WITHIN A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. PROFESSIONAL TEACHING ARTISTS AND VOLUNTEER MENTORS LEAD WORKSHOPS AND EMPOWER CHILDREN TO ARTISTICALLY EXPRESS THEIR PERSONAL STORIES. INTENTIONAL STRUCTURE AND A FOCUS ON COLLABORATION CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY FOR PARTICIPANTS. EACH CAMP SERIES CONCLUDES WITH A FINAL PERFORMANCE WHERE PARTICIPANTS SHARE THEIR ART AND STORIES WITH THE PUBLIC.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
