Colossal Members Surpass 100 Classroom Projects Funded Through DonorsChoose Initiative

Colossal Members have reached a significant milestone by funding 100 educational projects in K-12 classrooms across the United States through the DonorsChoose platform. This initiative, supported by a portion of all membership fees, has contributed over $13,000 to provide art supplies and materials for students, many of whom are experiencing art for the first time. Based in Chicago, the organization has particularly focused on supporting local classrooms. Recent recipients include Ms. Resnick at Gage Park High School in Chicago, who noted that the supplies boost student morale and demonstrate care during challenging times. Mrs. Wilson at Dawes Elementary School in Chicago expressed gratitude for vibrant watercolor paints that bring learning to life for fourth-grade students. Ms. Pogue at Deneen School of Excellence in Chicago highlighted how supplies like sketchbooks, erasers, and art drying racks have become essential tools for creativity and self-expression. The funding helps create environments where students can explore creativity without material limitations. Specific details about funded projects are available on the DonorsChoose website. Colossal encourages further support through membership, which starts at $7 per month and sustains independent arts publishing.
