For over three decades, A Window Between Worlds (AWBW) has served as a leadership incubator, nurturing community-based activists and artists, and pioneering ways in which art can heal and transform intersectional trauma.
As AWBW experiences unprecedented program growth and demand—having more than doubled our community of Facilitators to over 1,200 in the US and abroad since transitioning to a digital format in 2020—we find ourselves at a critical juncture. To manage this rapid expansion, strategic investments in staffing, technology, and community leadership are essential.
These investments will not only support our Facilitators as they use art to empower healing and sustain transformative actions but also ensure the continued growth and innovation within our organization.
GET INVOLVED
We invite you to join us in this exciting phase as we plan for and invest in the future of AWBW, helping to sustain and expand our impact globally. Regardless of the size & scope of your support, we need your help to make this campaign a success.
There are a variety of ways to get involved, with overall goals for 2024 outlined below.
THE NEED
Since 2020, AWBW has experienced unprecedented growth! We’ve more than doubled our community of Windows Facilitators, and in 2023 alone, served 39% more participants over 2022.

It’s really that simple, TOT members simply spread the word about our training which helps our community of art Facilitators to grow and thrive!
