STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS FUELING OUR GROWTH
In a time when the world feels increasingly fractured, our commitment to using art as a bridge for connection, community and change has never felt more necessary.
Over one year into our Fueling the Future campaign, we are seeing firsthand how strategic investments in staffing and technology are strengthening our ability to support our ever-expanding circle of Window Facilitators. Our commitment remains clear: to equip community leaders with the resources and infrastructure needed to meet the growing demand for this work.
AWBW was birthed by the circle of each of us: each facilitator, each volunteer, art workshop participant, and supporter. We welcome you to join us in fueling the next chapter of collective healing and transformation.
GET INVOLVED
Please join us in whatever way(s) are accessible to you. Regardless of the size & scope of your support, your presence in this circle makes a lasting difference.
There are a variety of ways to get involved, with overall goals for 2025 outlined below.
THE NEED

OUR REACH
We continue to expand our program reach exponentially each year. We now have program partners in 40 states and 8 countries, with Facilitators also reporting working with participants in over 12 additional countries.

BECOME A LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP DONOR
Establishing a legacy scholarship ensures lasting access to AWBW’s Facilitator Training for frontline healers in communities you care about. Your gift—made during your lifetime or through your estate—can fund annual scholarships that create long-term impact.
Each trained Facilitator reaches 100+ trauma survivors every year and gains lifetime access to AWBW’s tools and support, multiplying your impact for generations.
BECOME A SUSTAINING DONOR
Healing is created in community, not isolation.
Sustaining donors are the heartbeat of our stability. By making an ongoing gift—whether monthly, quarterly, or annually—you join a circle of supporters who provide reliable, enduring care for our network of Windows Facilitators nationwide.
Start your sustaining gift for as little as $5 a month, and receive access to AWBW’s favorite creative well-being workshops as our thanks for your commitment.
TRAINING AND OUTREACH TEAM
The primary way people learn about the AWBW program and training has been and continues to be word of mouth. We invite you to become part of this circle of connection by joining the AWBW Training Outreach Team. Share about AWBW’s training with people who you think can benefit. 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!
AMPLIFY TEAM
Helping spread our message across social media platforms expands our ability to reach potential Facilitators and grow our healing arts programs. Whether you share on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram, you can help share our work, opportunities, and resources. Being a part of the Amplify Team helps expand the rapidly growing Windows circle.
