Sawdust Art Enrichment Fund
SAEF is a philanthropic effort that supports education of the public about the arts while providing hands-on art experiences to underserved populations.
The Sawdust Art Enrichment Fund (SAEF) was created nearly 10 years ago and is a philanthropic effort which supports educating the public about the arts through programs that provide experiences in creating art. SAEF provides hands-on art workshops to underserved populations including at-risk youth and armed forces and their families. Recently SAEF has also worked alongside the non-profit organization American Family Housing (AFH) to provide art classes to formerly homeless at-risk youth. These classes are taught by professional local artists on the Sawdust Art Festival grounds. Our classes provide an opportunity to receive art as therapy or as a pathway to creating a business for entrepreneurship.
The continuation of our program depends on acquiring grants and donations made by individuals like you. If you would like to make a donation to our program please click on the Donate Now button and select Art Enrichment Fund located at the bottom of the page. We truly appreciate donations in any amount. Thank you in advance for your interest in helping with the education of the arts to those who would otherwise not have access to it.
