GRANTS AWARDED
Without the help of foundation, business and government grants, most nonprofits would have a tough time soliciting enough donations to do our work in the community. We are extremely grateful for the generous support of our state, city and community funders.

INFORMATION ON OUR 2011/2012 GRANTORS
SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Art from Ashes has received a national grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. SAMHSA noted that "Art from Ashes implements the Phoenix Rising Poetry and Spoken Word curriculum to guide youth participants through a process whereby they may alter their own perceptions of trauma and the difficulty experienced in their lives, choosing instead an identity based on the power of creativity, self-expression, and resilience, rather than victimization."

HUNT ALTERNATIVES FUND–3G
The Hunt Alternatives Fund was established in Denver in 1981 with the purpose of advancing innovative and inclusive approaches to social change at local, national, and global levels. This year, the 3rd Generation Foundation of the Hunt Alternatives Fund designated the second grant in the 3-year funding cycle for Art from Ashes to institute a revenue-generating arm to provide creative workshops for corporations and businesses. These workshops will focus on techniques that exercise the creative right brain in order to increase productivity and communication in the workplace. All revenue generated will support our youth programs.

ART FROM ASHES RECEIVES 2011/2012 SCFD GRANT FUNDING IN THREE COUNTIES!
SCFD provides funding for agencies of local government and nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations whose primary purpose is to provide for the enlightenment and entertainment of the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement, or preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, cultural history or natural history; has a principal office within the district; conducts the majority of its activities within the state of Colorado; and principally benefits the residents of the district. This important work is made possible through a sales and use tax of 0.1% (1¢ for every $10 purchase in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties), providing supplemental financial support to metro Denver cultural organizations.
