Overview

Mission

OUR MISSION IS TO SUPPORT ART PROFESSIONALS forced to leave their homes due to war or oppressive regimes in their home country in continuing their artistic journey and to help other displaced people to find their place in a new society through art.

What it reported doing in 2025

We assisted TEAL HOUSE Poland in fundraising for programs aligned with both our and TEAL HOUSEs missions: Art Integration - a global art contest for displaced artists with grants and mentorship. Support for a Teen Theatre Studio for refugee children. Backing for the project Sorry for My English, to be performed by displaced artists in 2025 including stages in the US.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
