Gratitude
A great, big fantastic thank you goes out to everyone who donated to Springboard for the Arts last week during GiveMn's Give to the Max day. We raised $9000 for our programs and the projects of Springboard's Fiscal Sponsor clients IN ONE DAY - an unprecedented experience for us! We love GiveMN and we love all of you. Thank you!
Last weekend we held our annual Free Screening day for artists at our partner clinic in Minnneapolis, Neighborhood Involvement Program. We were able to serve 35 artists in 4 hours! Hear what some of our participants had to say:
"Springboard and NIP staff were the best. They are why this screening worked and went so well. What a great way to support the arts in the Twin Cities. Thank you SO MUCH!"
"Just tremendous gratitude. I hadn't had a tetanus shot for decades (didn't even know I should have one)."
It is programs like the Free Screening Day that donations from our neighbors support. Your generosity is amazing. Everyone in America continues to be affected by the economic climate and we recognize the meaning of each and every gift. We are so, so grateful to everyone who believes, like we do, that this is an important time to invest in creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.
