Project Description
In a world where only 1.8% of charitable giving in the U.S. supports organizations dedicated to women and girls (Indiana University Indianapolis - Lilly Family School of Philanthropy), GRDSM urgently needs your help to empower young voices in our 2025 season, From The Spotlight To The Limelight.
We are calling on supporters to ensure operational stability for programs like GRIT, Community Band, and Summer Camp, which give marginalized youth in Greater Des Moines safe spaces, mentorship, and essential life skills. Your immediate support is essential for us to continue providing arts-based education, creative entrepreneurship, and mental health resources. Every dollar invested today strengthens our mission to elevate youth voices and build a sustainable, inclusive future.
Help us turn up the volume on these young changemakers. Join us in bringing their voices from the spotlight to the limelight!
