Founder's Note
Whew! November is here, and it’s time to catch up on all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps an arts organization running — especially one powered by one person and a team of amazing volunteers!
The Tiny School of Art & Design is now tucked safely into storage, our art supplies are packed away to avoid the freeze, and grant reports are being written and submitted — celebrating a truly wonderful season of creativity across Minnesota.
As we prepare for Give to the Max Day,
we’ve done the math after a year and a half of programming. We now know exactly what it takes to sustain Heijeu Arts year-round — and where we need your help.
To simply exist — to keep materials safe, stay connected with our community, and handle the essential (if less glamorous) operations — we have a $12,000 annual funding gap. These costs continue even when our programs are hibernating for the winter.
Our goal: 50 supporters giving $20/month. Your monthly contribution helps ensure we can keep showing up — bringing art experiences to anyone and everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background.
Please consider becoming a sustaining donor through GiveMN and join the circle of people who believe in the power of art, play, and community connection.
From all of us at Heijeu Arts — thank you for believing in this work!
At Heijeu Arts and the Tiny School of Art & Design, we believe that creativity should be accessible to all. From workshops and camps to community art projects, our programs thrive because of YOU—our amazing supporters.
This year, we’re launching a Sustaining Donor Drive to help cover the essential overhead that keeps our organization running smoothly. Our monthly goal is 50 donors at $20/month, which supports:
📦 Storage for supplies and projects
🏢 Office space to plan and organize programming
💻 Online tools that connect us with our community
📊 Finance software to keep everything accountable and transparent
Here’s the math: if 50 people commit to $20/month, we’ll meet our $1000 monthly goal! This steady support means we can continue building joyful, creative spaces—especially during the winter months when revenue naturally dips but our expenses remain constant.
By becoming a sustaining donor, you’re not just covering overhead—you’re investing in art, youth, and community creativity.
Other gift amounts are welcome — every contribution helps keep creativity rolling!
