What are donations used for?
100% of the money you donate goes directly to Elements Academy and is distributed into the following categories:
Creative Arts support mental health and wellness
Our focus on the arts is designed to support, encourage, and strengthen kids’ natural gifts of creativity - even (and especially) if their creative spark has been dulled through previous experiences in traditional systems.
Funds support trainings, after school programming, and creative arts supplies.
Karma Scholarship Fund
Karma is (simply put) planting the seeds you wish to grow.
We provide equity scholarships to marginalized communities that range from $1,000 - $29,000 per school year. Our school applications are need-blind so we can support families who are the right fit for this community regardless of what they are able to pay.
Funds go directly to families in need.
Inclusion and Belonging
Feeling different in any way can damage a child’s self-worth. Whether their neurological structure, gender, identity, skin color, or physical abilities are, or feel, ‘different,’ we believe EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL LOVED EXACTLY AS THEY ARE. And if the broken system has sent them messages otherwise, we work twice as hard to repair that damage to their self-worth.
Funds support our diverse community with staff training, curriculum and program options, and materials.
community engagement & outings
Not all classrooms have four walls.
Whether it’s a van trip to the Blue Hills and local museums or a train ride to NYC, we believe in providing access to the real world. Through real life immersive experiences, these kids are able to generalize skills and be a more engaged member of the community.
Funds pay for museum memberships, entry fees, and travel expenses.
Did we mention yet that EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. COUNTS?!
SERIOUSLY. THERE IS NO AMOUNT TOO SMALL (OR TOO LARGE).
Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the bottom of our VERY BIG hearts.
We knew we couldn’t do this alone - we just didn’t know how amazing it would feel to be so supported.
We’re always looking for partners (individual and corporate) to take our organization to the next level. If you’re interested or have ideas, questions, or thoughts, please email or schedule a call with Heather DiNino, Founding Director (heather@elementsacademy.org).
