Ways to Give
Your Gift Helps Young People Heal Through Art and Expands Access to Artmaking
At Firebird Community Arts, we believe art heals. Every day, in our East Garfield Park studio, young people impacted by trauma, violence, and adversity from Chicago's South and West sides walk through our doors and find something they didn't expect: the transformative power of art and a community that believes in their future.
Our work is only possible because of donors like you. Your generosity helps support the teaching artists and staff who deliver services for youth in our programs, stipends to help young artists learn and grow, and ensures our studio is a safe space for our community to come together and support one another.
Firebird Community Arts is a designated 501c3 nonprofit organization. Federal Tax ID: 36-3639885.
