DONATE
BUSINESS SUPPORT
Art from Ashes is so grateful to the businesses in the community that sponsor our programs through events and in-kind donations.
We are grateful to all of these sponsors who have supported us over the years, allowing us to serve 18,000 young people through creative programs in partnership with 200+ agencies. Business support also allows us to provide our on-site weekly and monthly Phoenix Rising workshops to the youth, free of charge.
To become a business sponsor, contact us at info@artfromashes.org or fill out the contact us form on our website.

ADULT WORKSHOPS
Adult Workshops
Reignite your creativity by participating in our Adult Workshops! Adult writing workshops are designed to enhance the connection between the cognitive self and the creative right brain and do not focus on skills development. All levels of writers (including those who think they are not) are welcome and will benefit.
Adult Workshop Gift Certificates
Give the gift of empowerment and transformation through creativity! Your gift recipient will be able to choose from any workshop offered in 2024-25 for the cost of $175 for the entire series. Go to our Adult Workshop page and scroll down to use Paypal or mail us a check and we’ll send a gift email to the recipient.
Workshops are in person at our agency location (1310 W. 10th Ave., Denver, CO).
All adult workshops support creative empowerment workshops for youth.
Nobody owns a nonprofit agency, not even the founder of the organization. It is a public trust—and everyone in the community is an integral part of the work we do.
When the young people in our society are receiving care, we all benefit: the community saves on court costs and fewer prisons (which cost taxpayers far more than programs like ours—and obviously without the transformational results); less crime; fewer teen pregnancies; less poverty; less cyclical domestic and child abuse; increased literacy; improved mental health—in fact, the benefits of restoring hope to a struggling young person are innumerable.
We continue to hold fundraisers, solicit grants, and pursue contracts with other youth organizations, and we also believe strongly in the reciprocity of individual giving. It not only benefits the recipient—in this case, the young people in our community—but blesses the giver.
There are multiple ways in addition to donating that you can join us in supporting youth voices, and really show up for our future leaders.
And please sign up for our newsletter or text ARTFROMASHES [all caps, no spaces] to 22828.
Listen
Attend a First Friday youth performance! Every first Friday of the month at 6.15pm (MST) young people willing to share their poems meet at a designated spot to share their courage and creativity! Find out where on our Events page and join us!
Engage
YOU TOO can participate in our social media writing prompts on Facebook, some of which are also in our blog. We promote breaking down the walls that separate us, and want the youth to know we’re willing to share what we’ve written, too! The more you share, the more welcoming it is for others to share.
Volunteer
Apply to be a volunteer! Not only can you support the agency in numerous needed ways, but we hope you’ll be able to tell your friends and family about the work we do from a personal perspective. People are more inclined to give financially to an organization their loved ones believe in.
