For many of us, winter holidays are filled with cherished traditions shared with loved ones—gathering to see light displays, exchanging heartfelt gifts, or family dinners. At drawchange, we’d love for you to join our yearly tradition: giving. Let's review ways you can help this holiday season!


What a Tradition of Giving Means to drawchange

With the holidays approaching, we ask that you keep drawchange in mind as you make your year-end gifts. Every donation helps us bring art therapy-based programs to children facing economic hardships—programs that make a true difference. We’ve seen firsthand how these experiences transform lives, helping shy and withdrawn children find their voices, build confidence, and grow in confidence. Together, we can continue inspiring hope and resilience in every child we serve.








How Holiday Giving Campaigns Support drawchange

While the holidays are a joyful time for many, they also present challenges for some. Help us bring joy to children facing hardships this season. Your contributions fuel our mission to uplift and inspire. Here are some of our 2025 goals that your donations will help us achieve:

  1. Transition to a year-round Art Camp model for consistent support during breaks, reducing summer staff demands.

  2. Hire a consulting firm for a 360-degree assessment to shape a healthy future.

  3. Increase awareness of our mission and art’s importance through community events, workshops, and exhibitions.

  4. Create evaluation tools to measure program impact on children’s development.

  5. Work with an Art Therapist to assess programs and train staff in trauma-informed practices.

How to Give Without Spending a Dime

Giving doesn’t have to include a cash donation. We’re always looking for more volunteers, be it administratively, or at our shelter programs! If this is something that interests you, please consider filling out a volunteer application with us. We’d love for you to join us! Another way to help out is by buying presents for loved ones. Browse through our drawchange merchandise while doing your holiday shopping! 


Holiday Giving Programs: Become a Sustaining Member

While we greatly appreciate our holiday donations, we are also tremendously grateful for our Sustaining Members. Sustaining Members are those who donate a fixed monthly amount. You can read our sustaining members blog post here to learn more!
