GLSEN is a leading national non-profit that has been working for over 30 years to create safe and inclusive K-12 schools for LGBTQ youth, with a focus on research, resources for educators and advocacy.

"I like creating something that’s familiar but with an abstract/surrealist twist. Imagination is a key point and motivation for me. I want people to look at my work and create their own interpretations and feelings."

"I love drawing hands. Hands can signify so much and, in this case, it signifies unity. To build with each other. The colors merging together in the background of the linked hands is how I stay true to my abstract nature as an artist but it also represents each person with their own story becoming one. The star is the light that forms once you have reached that safe space. Building with each other is an ongoing process and the organization GLSEN is a prime example of that."

As the philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Association, the Foundation is transforming the nation’s health through the power of nursing. Thank you for your generous donation that will help nurses now and in the future.

"Every day I try to be proud of everything I do, no matter how small it is. It can sometimes be challenging, but it's something that has made me realize that everybody has bad days. Something as little as making your bed in the morning feels like you're achieving something meaningful. Maybe it's one of those days when you get a commission you weren't expecting. You feel incredibly proud of inspiring somebody with your work that they took the time to reach out."

"My work is an extension of who I am as a person and how I see things in life. It can change any day and it has changed throughout the years until it is where it is today. People will see a lot of hair, hands, and eyes in pretty much all of the pieces I make. I have always been fascinated with hair. Hands and eyes are, to me, two of the most intimate parts of the human body. I try to add them to my work since I think they speak for themselves."

UNCF’s mission is to build a robust community of under-represented students who become highly-qualified college graduates and to ensure that their network is a respected model of best practice in moving students to and through college.

"My work is very vibrant, I love working with bold color palettes. It encompasses portraiture, patterns, and hand typography. My work is a symbolism of myself and my exploration of art and design."

As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer-supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters creates one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth in communities across the country.

"My work is very silly and I think that's what makes it shine. I love illustrating simple moments - ones that manifest a sense of love, belonging, and fun. I want people to be able to relate to my work. I want it to be readable and warm and to spark a wonderful sense of play and freedom. I hope that my work helps inspire others to play as well - to have fun and experiment and to simply love what they're doing."

"In the past week, I've been proud of myself for all sorts of little things. I've been able to clean my apartment, cook great meals for myself, and make big strides in planning new personal projects for myself! It's hard to pin down a specific moment where I've felt most proud of myself in recent months between quarantining, protests and work, but I think finding any way to keep motivated and moving forward is a special kind of victory."
