Think back to one of your first magical LEAF moments…

Who was there? What music were you listening to? How did you feel?

Together, and over the past 25 years, our global community has created thousands of moments and experiences of joy, freedom, connection, and love.  Together, we’ve learned about ourselves, our communities, other people and different cultures. We’ve shared a lot.

That is what LEAF does and we, as a community, create together. And it is what we are at risk of losing.

What we’ve created is not the product of big money, it’s the product of hope, love, creativity and community. For 25 years we have created huge moments that ignite passion and inspiration in people across the globe, all the while being fiscally responsible and operating on a tight budget. As for so many, the COVID-19 pandemic has been financially devastating, but we have not lost hope. Often, we tell our kids that there is no shame in need. That to truly grow, you must admit when you need help. LEAF needs your help.

Today we are asking for your support so we may continue to bring those magical moments to life in our community and the world. Due to Member’s support along side the resilience and creativity of our Teaching Artists and Culture Keeper’s, we have provided 7+ classes a week and a few Learning Journeys to people isolated at home since the onset of the pandemic, reaching over 30,000 people a month. Your gift today will keep LEAF’s global connections thriving as we continue to pivot virtually, bring connections to life at LEAF Global Arts Center, maintain our dedication to providing free music and arts education for youth at home and abroad, support Cultural Preservation and and find new ways to celebrate our 25th year through events that honor our new safety realities.

Between now and the end of the year, we aim to raise the $100,000 that is vital in seeing LEAF through this pandemic. The arts are integral to reimagining and reopening public gathering places and workspaces, with your support we will not only revitalize LEAF but will catalyze economic activity for the health of the local community and economy.
