Donor of the Month

Thank you to Gurney's Resorts for your generosity and ongoing support of Project MOST.

After School and Summer programs all have a role to play in ensuring that high-quality arts education is available to all young people.

According to The Wallace Foundation, a philanthropy organization dedicated to fostering improvements in learning and enrichment for disadvantaged children, among best practices in lifting barriers for young people to engage with the arts are: "instructors should be professional practicing artists; programs take place in welcoming areas designated for arts experiences; [and] youngsters have a hand in shaping the programming." Our hands-on learning programs are led by professionals in their field in an inclusive atmosphere that promotes socialization, confidence, and compassion. Please consider making a donation to support our efforts in supporting the community.

Project MOST provides enriching academic and elective opportunities across a range of subjects at a subsidized cost. This includes a New York State SACC-licensed after school program, a nine-week summer learning program, plus year-round evening and weekend workshops and academic assistance in the areas of Arts & Culture, S.T.E.M., and Health & Wellness. We provide financial aid as needed so that no child is left out of our programs due to finances. Your donation helps us continue to turn non-school hours into learning hours, encouraging natural curiosity and the joy of knowledge for the youngest members of our community.
