Ashes to Films supports wildfire-affected filmmakers, helping them tell stories of resilience through grants and a film festival.

**Creativity doesn’t have to die in disaster—it can thrive.**

At *Ashes to Films*, we believe that we are not defined by what we’ve lost—but by what we create in the aftermath.

Born out of personal experience and built by a community of artists, ATF is a nonprofit film fund and festival supporting filmmakers, storytellers, and young creatives affected by wildfires and other natural disasters. When the world moves on, we step in—not with just aid, but with opportunity.

Our mission is to help fire-affected filmmakers reclaim their voice through:

- **Funding** for short films, documentaries, music videos, and experimental work
- **Mentorship and support** to bring ideas to life
- A **Young Filmmakers program** to empower the next generation
- And a **festival in Los Angeles** that will showcase  powerful projects in January 2026

With your help, we can fund them, uplift them, and create a cultural moment that reminds the world what art can do after loss.

This is more than recovery.

This is a movement.

**Join us—because storytelling heals. And because the city of dreams deserves to dream again.**

ABOUT THE CHOIR
WHCC is a no-audition community choir, one of a handful in NYC and the only one serving Upper Manhattan. We're a lively, diverse, and welcoming group that loves to sing and believes in the power of music to spread joy and build community!

BUILDING A LASTING FOUNDATION
Founded by a local church in 2016, we disbanded in May 2022 due to budget cuts but quickly regrouped and reestablished the choir as an independent nonprofit. Now two years strong, we aim to become a lasting part of our community.

HELP KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE
Choir membership dues cover about 70% of our expenses. Your donation helps bridge the gap, supporting our Choir Director, accompanist, music licensing, marketing, space rental, insurance, and other administrative needs. 

With your help, we can keep singing and grow our presence in Upper Manhattan!

We captivate hearts since 1983, making classical music accessible to all.

**Support the Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra**

In Medellín, there’s an orchestra that doesn’t just perform music—it reinvents it. The Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín brings symphonic music to unexpected places, creates powerful collaborations, and transforms lives through every note.

What makes us truly unique is our approach. We are the first orchestra in Latin America to build a business model that is sustainable and future-focused. Our work isn’t just about ticket sales and donations—we create innovative programs that generate revenue, empower our community, and ensure long-term impact. We’re setting the example for other cultural organizations, showing that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a reality we’re creating.

We’ve performed at psychiatric hospitals and conflict zones. We’ve created a choir for people affected by the armed conflict. We’ve built a mental health program for executives and designed learning experiences that help companies solve real-world challenges—through music.

We’ve played alongside legends, premiered daring new works, and turned shopping malls and rural parks into concert halls. We’ve taken the stage at international festivals, and we’ve stood by our community in its hardest moments.

Supporting Filarmed isn’t an act of charity. It’s an act of belief. It’s joining a movement that uses music to build community, awaken imagination, and spark change.

Every donation fuels concerts that surprise, programs that heal, and ideas that grow. If you’ve ever felt goosebumps in a performance, if you’ve ever thought “more people need to experience this,” if you’ve ever wondered how to be part of something that matters—this is your moment. 

Give today. Be part of the story.

Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival's mission encompasses the mentoring of gifted international young classical musicians & singers.

The Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival was conceived by classical pianist and professor, Riccardo Cecchetti, its Artistic Director and President. Drawing on his experience as artistic and organizational consultant for classical musical initiatives in Spain and Italy, in 2016 Riccardo founded the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival in Lucca, Italy.



From Cecchetti’s passion to create an opportunity made by musicians, to support musicians of the future, and to welcome classical music lovers from all over the world, the Festival quickly established itself as one of the most important initiatives dedicated to classical music in Europe.



The Festival’s groundbreaking proposal was based on three closely interrelated elements:



- Educational programs and master classes lead by prestigious international musicians;

- Competitions for the young participants of the Master Classes Program;

- Concerts given by visiting artists and the most accomplished students enrolled in the Festival.



These elements informed the creation of a program rich in public events offered in unique locations in Lucca and Tuscany, including concerts given by prestigious guest artists and some of the most talented young musicians from all over the world, as well as lectures, meetings with artists, and exhibitions and workshops, all in keeping with the musical mission of the Festival. 



Many of the most renowned musicians, worldwide, enthusiastically embrace our project including Alfred Brendel, Bruno Giuranna, Boris Berman, Imogen Cooper, Viviane Hagner, Kim Kashkashian, Alain Meunier, Claudio Bohórquez, etc.



The primary mission of the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival is to promote and nurture talented young musicians. Winners of the Virtuoso & Belcanto competitions - all of whom are students of our courses - have launched prestigious careers. Among the many of them are, notably, the Leonkoro Quartet who won the 1st Prize in two of the most prestigious international competitions in 2022: the Concours International de Quatuor à Bordeaux and the International String Quartet Competition held at London's Wigmore Hall, earning 1st Prize and a collection of nine special awards, including interpretations, residencies, and concert prizes. The Leonkoro Quartet immediately embarked on an impressive international career.



The Festival, organized by the Association Virtuoso & Belcanto APS, has developed a profound network of international collaborators, important among which is the Populäre Konzerte Concerts Season at the Berlin Philharmonie, which has been held in Berlin for 66 years. Our collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonie brings the very finest of the young soloists selected from Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival to perform in the Philharmonie’s season's concerts, accompanied by the Sinfonie Orchester Berlin and in the world's most prestigious concert hall. Additionally, we collaborate with many other organizations throughout Europe such as the ORT (Orchestra della Toscana); Nuova Orchestra Scarlatti Napoli; and Nova Orchester Wien in Vienna: we anticipate establishing many more such collaborations. Over the years, twin festivals have already been established in Norway (Grimstad) and Spain (Osuna), and others are in the works, including in the United States.

The Civic Circle empowers students students to understand and participate in democracy through music and the arts.

The Civic Circle launched in 2018 to empower low-income students with civic skills, lift youth voices through the arts, and close a well-documented equity gap in civic learning and engagement.

Since then, we’ve reached more than 5,000 underserved students with our after-school workshops, assembly shows and community civic events. The heart of our program is seven civic skills we call “steps to democracy”— Listen, Learn, Choose, Join, Speak, Act and Lead. In other words, be a compassionate, informed, engaged citizen.

Civic learning correlates to better school performance, and college and career readiness. Students in our programs do Social Studies and service-learning activities, and work with teaching artists to create and perform their own civic songs, poems, and art pieces. Along the way they build literacy, confidence, self-expression, and social and emotional skills.

Our innovative, multicultural program equips students with the civic skills they will need to become voters and leaders in their communities, a mission that is increasingly crucial both for student achievement, and for our success as a democratic society. For more information, please contact info@theciviccircle.org, or visit www.theciviccircle.org.

We sow the seeds of freedom by cultivating students' creativity and harvesting mutual empathy for a peaceful, prosperous future.

[**Rai·son d'ê·tre**](https://icaf.org/about/why-icaf)

Since 1997, the International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) has been serving American children as their national arts organization that cultivates their creativity and grows mutual empathy through the power of the arts for a peaceful and prosperous future. 

Creativity is now more than ever before a crucial career skill today, while empathy is humanity's survival skill. 

What young people contribute or create in their lives depends on their self-identity. The development of a holistic student identity underlies ICAF’s theory of change.

Through its free school art program, ICAF promotes the Artist-Athlete Ideal, which embodies a creative mind and a healthy body (*mente sana in corpore sano*). This holistic identity awakens a student's dormant “inner artist” or the slumbering “inner athlete,” helping mitigate obesity risks and creativity slumps.

At its World Children's Festival, ICAF's methodology infuses creativity with empathy, motivating students to become "creative empaths" who can work together to shape a brighter future.

[**Research & Publications**](https://icaf.org/resources/publications)
ICAF’s seminal research has been published in several leading journals, including [The Lancet](https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140673606699157.pdf) and [Dynamische Psychiatrie](https://icaf.org/resource/pdfs/CreativeEmpaths.pdf). Since 1998, ICAF has published the ad-free quarterly, the ChildArt magazine. Please preview the [AI & Art ](https://www.icaf.org/AI&Art/)magazine and the [Human Security ](https://icaf.org/resource/flipbooks/HumanSecurity/)magazine.

[**The Arts Olympiad**](https://icaf.org/mission/arts-olympiad.)
ICAF’s Arts Olympiad has evolved over the years into the world’s largest school art program. Its structured lesson plans culminate in art contests on the theme "My Favorite Sport." ICAF selects the most exceptional artworks and invites the young Artists-Athletes as delegates to the World Children’s Festival. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has granted ICAF an exclusive license to utilize the "Arts Olympiad" mark.

The 7th Arts Olympiad, currently taking place in the United States and nearly fifty countries, is projected to benefit more than half a million students worldwide. For more information about the program in select countries, please click [here](https://icaf.org/resource/pdfs/Arts-Olympiad-Stories-Texas.pdf).

[**World Children’s Festival**](https://WorldChildrensFestival.org)
The World Children’s Festival (WCF) offers a transformative experience, infusing creativity with empathy to give them hope. While learning is a biological process that creates new neural connections, developing empathy necessitates unlearning ingrained biases and prejudices to activate the “mirror neurons” that underpin empathetic responses. As empathy flourishes, divisions diminish, polarization lessens, consensus emerges, nations come together, and the world becomes more peaceful. The educational programming for this three-day public celebration of children's talents is rooted in STEAMS education, an innovative approach developed by ICAF that integrates Arts and Sports into the STEM disciplines. For an overview of the WCF, please click [here](https://www.icaf.org/resource/flipbooks/Creativity,DiversityandUnity/).

The 7th World Children’s Festival, held at the National Mall from June 30 to July 2, 2026, will also serve as the children's celebration of America's 250th birthday. 

**Other Art Programs**
ICAF occasionally organizes [Peace through Art Programs](https://icaf.org/mission/peace-through-art) to restore the trust in humanity of children in conflict zones and [Healing Art Programs](https://icaf.org/mission/healing-arts-program) to revive faith in nature of child victims of natural disasters. ICAF also pays attention to [climate change](https://icaf.org/mission/climate-change) because of its impact on children’s lives.

**Sport Art Exhibitions**
As the largest children’s art organization, ICAF curates exhibitions worldwide to bring its unprecedented collection to significant venues and museums. ICAF exhibitions embolden children and kindle the inner child in professionals. Please watch this [3:22-minute clip](https://youtu.be/0Cv7qHQM7fM?si=XFAHo8MZDs2Sj7e_).

**Art & Sports Online Contests**
To engage children worldwide in the LA28 Olympics, ICAF has launched an online art contest for students aged 8 to 20. This inclusive platform allows participants to create artwork about their favorite sport, share it with family and friends, and receive votes from any sports fan or art lover, contributing to the selection of the winners. https://MyFavoriteSport.org. 

[**Partnerships**](https://icaf.org/about/partnership)
ICAF has worked with the United Nations, the National Institutes of Health, the International Society for Education through Art, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization. 

ICAF’s sponsors have included corporations and grantmakers such as the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts. ICAF is independently ranked among the 25 Top Children’s Charities in the United States.

Lerici Music Festival, an annual classical music festival located on the stunning Italian Riviera.

US Ambassador Alex Amirkhanian

A classical music festival inaugurated in Summer 2017 by international orchestra conductor Gianluca Marcianò, a native of the town of Lerici set on the stunning bay known as the Gulf of Poets. Until 2020 the festival was known as Festival Suoni dal Golfo and then changed its name to the more easily remembered Lerici Music Festival. Over its first 7 years the festival has grown, attracting an audience of international music lovers and realising the vision of the founder in several aspects:
* to bring beautiful music to a town renowned for centuries for attracting writers, artists and composers such as Byron, Percy Bysse Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley (the castle in Lerici inspired her novel Frankenstein), D. H. Lawrence, Wagner, Virginia Woolf and many Italian writers.
* to develop the careers of new, young Italian and international soloists
* to bring international musicians to work side-by-side with emerging talent
* to bring together people of diverse nationalities, cultures and background using music as common ground
* for young orchestral musicians to reach the local residents with open rehearsals, street music and outreach. 
The aim of the Festival has, through its spirit of inclusion, become a constant in the European Festival schedule and its ultimate dream is to create a small concert hall for the town. Performances take place in squares, villas, nearby villages and Lerici town hall and new venues are annually sourced to give the best environment possible to each programme.
The Festival is a member of the prestigious European Festivals Association.

The Academy is at the heart of the Verbier Festival — a dynamic laboratory where future talents are discovered and nurtured.

**BECOME A MEMBER OF THE FRIENDS**

[Web site Friends of Verbier Festival](https://https://www.verbierfestival.com/en/support/friends/)

The Verbier Festival Friends Associaton was launched in 1993, when a group of music-loving donors was inspired by the idea of a two-week festival of classical music in the Swiss Alps in Valais. The Founder & Director Martin Engstroem calls his Verbier Festival "a waking dream"— a dream that would not have been realised without the consistent generosity and personal commitment of the Friends. Their support for the Festival as a whole, and notably for its learning programmes and major artistic projects, has been crucial to its rise to the top: the Verbier Festival is now one of the world's most renowned classical music events, blazing a trail into the 21st century.

Each donation made to The Friends of the Verbier Festival fund at Myriad (ex-KBFUS) is subject to a 5% administrative fee. These fees constitute costs to Myriad to administer donations made to the VF Friends Association; they total less than it would cost to operate a U.S. chapter of the Friends Association as a separate 501-C3 entity. The Association is nevertheless grateful to donors willing to top-up their donations by 5% to cover these fees.

The Verbier Festival is an international classical music event that takes place each summer in the mountain town of Verbier, Switzerland. The Festival's mission is to build a community of exchange between great masters and young artists from all over the world and to be a leader in its field by providing meaningful music education programmes.

Launched in 1994, and now globally renowned, the Festival welcomes audiences with a distinctive and exhilarating blend of events, both large-scale and intimate. Audiences from around the globe come to experience music-making at the highest level in a setting that brings them close to star performers, rising talent and a complete process of learning, rehearsal and performance.

The Festival's Academy is its respiratory system—a laboratory where future talents are discovered and nurtured. It sets the gold standard for the training of emerging soloists, chamber and orchestral musicians, singers and conductors. Each summer, audiences witness these musicians in action at more than 100 masterclasses, rehearsals and performances. The Verbier Festival Orchestra has become a rite of passage for today's exceptional young orchestral musicians and the Academy's programmes for soloists, chamber musicians and singers include an impressive list of alumni from over 60 countries who have been engaged by the world's leading concert presenters since their time in Verbier.

Stringendo is a 501c3 organization focused on the arts. It is based in Poughkeepsie, NY and received its nonprofit status in 2009.

Stringendo music school nurtures a diverse group of young string players to become passionate musicians and accomplished performers.  Through orchestra concerts and fiddle gigs, in private lessons and summer music camps, students cultivate life skills: the ability to listen, to lead and, above all, to work together to achieve the extraordinary.

Stringendo maintains a generous financial aid program, and no student is ever turned away due to financial need.   We work hard to extend services into areas that have been traditionally underserved, and our most recent partnership with students in the City of Poughkeepsie has been wildly successful. Our PK Strings group offers after-school classes and musical instruments to motivated students in Poughkeepsie’s elementary, middle, and high school grades, teaching the basics and providing transportation to Saturday classes and Summer Camp, as well as instruments and meals when needed.

Tuition is always kept affordable, well below "industry standard," to make string education accessible to all.   As a result, our Saturday Orchestra program, Tuesday Fiddle Program and Summer Camp attract students from all over the Hudson Valley and beyond.   Our student retention rate is extremely high and many of our older students volunteer as mentors/counselors to our younger students as part of our "morning helper" and "fiddle helper" programs.   Once graduated, many of our students return, either as teachers, camp counselors, workshop instructors, or as visiting alumni, creating a strong and vibrant community of string players at all ages and abilities.     Our goal is to continue to expand our reach, to be sure that any child interested in playing a string instrument has the resources and ability to do so.  Donations received will help us continue to provide the high caliber of string education Stringendo has become known for.  

 Please consider helping us in our mission to make a difference in the lives of local youth.

Bringing music across the planet to those who need it most. Can music change the world? We believe it can.

Keys of Change is a charity formed by individuals who deeply believe that playing music can make this world a better place. Keys of Change aims to advance the lives of children and young people around the world through musical education and access to live classical music performances. The charity was set up in early 2011 by the international concert pianist Panos Karan, who works with three other trustees, all involved in music and/or education, and a growing number of committed volunteers in many countries.  ​ Over the past years, Keys of Change has brought classical music, often for the first time, to deprived or suffering audiences, in remote areas of the Amazon basin, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Kolkata and the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima area in Japan, as well as in Greece, Russia and London. Our music has brought alive emotions - fascination, happiness, tears of sadness – and generated hope and encouragement.  Wherever we go to perform, we also set up and fund musical education projects, working in conjunction with local music teachers. In Ecuador, we organise weekly guitar lessons for young people from deprived backgrounds. In Uganda and Sierra Leone, we have provided instruments and music lessons. In Fukushima and India, we have made regular visits to work with young musicians to improve their playing, and give them the opportunity to perform in joint concerts with Keys of Change musicians. In the case of Fukushima this culminated in the founding of the Fukushima Youth Sinfonietta, and organising for up to 50 young Japanese musicians to travel to London, to give a concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in April 2014, to Tokyo, performing at Tokyo Opera City in August 2015, and Symphony Hall, Boston, in April 2016.

The Tanging Yaman Foundation is a non-profit Philippine organization which bridges the generosity of countless Filipinos. 

Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. (Tanging Yaman), a non-profit Philippine organization, was established in 1992 when Fr. Manuel "Manoling" Francisco, SJ first performed his original liturgical music with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO). Almost every year, Fr. Manoling would perform with the PPO or the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra.

 

These concerts, entitled Tanging Yaman: Himig at Pananalig, graced the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Meralco Theatre, the UP Theatre, and other major Philippine theaters. The concerts even went on tour to Batangas, Quezon Province, and Ifugao.

 

In addition to the orchestra, these Tanging Yaman concerts featured choirs like Bukas Palad, Hangad, Bungang Himig, Tinig Barangka, the Pansol Choir, and popular artists like Basil Valdez, Dulce, Ogie Alcasid, Ariel Rivera, Jamie Rivera, and Nolyn Cabahug. Apart from celebrating Filipino music and Filipino faith, the concerts also raised funds for institutions that build and nurture local communities.

 

Some of the beneficiaries of the Tanging Yaman concerts were have been the Sibol-Hesus School for gifted public school children of Mr. Onofre Pagsanghan; the Alagad ni Maria Youth Center in Infanta; the Quezonians Home for the Aged; the Kiangan, Ifugao Scholarship Fund; the Diocesan Seminary in Lipa, Batangas; Our Lady of the Pentecost Parish in Loyola Heights; Mary the Queen Parish in San Juan; the Ateneo de Manila High School Scholarship Fund; and the School of Living Tradition in Benguet.

 

Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. has then evolved from being an annual liturgical concert to being a conduit foundation, bridging the generosity of countless Filipinos here and abroad to the vital needs of their fellow men and women in the Philippines.

An ambitious summer festival, taking place in a 500-seat theatre overlooking a glorious valley in the English Cotswolds. 

Longborough Festival Opera (LFO), a now internationally-recognised summer opera festival with wide-reaching education programmes, has a remarkable story with humble beginnings. Set in the quintessentially English Cotswolds, and sharing the same county as the country residence of HM King Charles III, it was founded by a man who had no formal musical education, who listened to Beethoven while working on a building site. It has grown into an established opera company, with a summer festival in a purpose-built theatre which has its own humble beginnings – as an agricultural chicken shed.

Longborough punches well above its weight, achieving many times over what others have not even attempted:  in 2013, a full-scale production of Wagner's Ring Cycle established the Festival as a destination for Wagnerians in the UK and abroad, becoming the first ever (and as yet the only) UK festival to stage a full Ring Cycle. A new Ring culminated in another full cycle in 2024, thus also racking up the extraordinary achievement of having produced two new productions of this epic work in just over a decade.  

The world’s leading magazine about opera, Opera Magazine, said of the Longborough Ring Cycle (August 2024): "No other "country house" opera company has risen to such a challenge, not even Glyndebourne… the stamina, the superb diction, the focused musicianship: all of these served as a model of the best this daring, innovative Ring cycle could produce."  

Our new strategy to 2030 is heavily influenced by some of the themes that we see in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg: learning, love, craftsmanship, community music-making, midsummer feast-days and philosophy of art. We will produce this opera for the first time in 2027, our 30th anniversary year of opera-making in this theatre. It also cements our historic connection with the work of Richard Wagner, taking inspiration from the composer which inspired the Festival in the first place.

Our vision is to be recognised as a bold, audacious company essential to the UK’s opera landscape, rooted in our community and our environment, fostering the best of British Wagnerian talent and the next generation of artists and audiences through its innovative festival and education programmes. 



Strategic Goals: 

1.	To be recognised as a centre of excellence for learning and apprenticeship in all areas of our work and to be renowned as the birthplace of British Wagnerian artists.

2.	To present a bold, varied annual summer festival rooted in the ambitious spirit of its founders, delivering a singular, unique experience for artists and audiences.

3.	To invest in the sustainable development of our theatre and our site for the benefit of future generations of art-lovers.

4.	To be a trusted neighbour and partner, embedded in our local community with wide-reaching local, national and international links, offering valuable and diverse interactions with people of all ages and backgrounds. 

Longborough Festival Opera

One of the most sought-after young artist programs in France 

This Paris-based opera company is dedicated to lyric repertoire from the mid-18th century to the present. Founded and directed by American conductor David Stern, it combines an ambitious young artists program and a versatile instrumental ensemble.  Opera Fuoco has been in existence since 2003 initially as a top-level period instrument ensemble and later as an internationally recognized young artist troupe.  David Stern, Katharina Wolff and the Fuoco team have developed a multi-faceted program to develop young vocal talent at a professional level.  Opera Fuoco offers a unique, custom-made experience to young singers transitioning from conservatory to professional life.  Singers are able to work with Maestro Stern, experienced vocal coaches and stage directors in various contexts ranging from masterclasses and recitals to large-scale performances with orchestra and fully staged opera productions. The repertoire spans not only several centuries but a variety of genres, from baroque to contemporary, including musical comedy and jazz.  Opera Fuoco has shaped its young artist program not as an academy but as a professional company for young singers engaged for a period of three to four years. In its 13 years of existence, Opera Fuoco's Young Artist Program has trained approximately 50 singers from 15 different countries. Our 15 current members come from 5 different countries, and candidates from the last round of auditions represented 34 nationalities. Opera Fuoco's activities are largely Paris-area based, with masterclasses held in prestigious spaces such as the Petit Palais and regular concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. The company has also enhanced its international reputation by developing regular performance partnerships with the Bachfest in Leipzig, the Beethovenfest in Bonn, the International Telemann Festival, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra as well as the Shanghai Baroque and Beijing Music Festivals in China.

Our goal is to help push the industry towards more fair and equitable practices by supplying free music industry education for indie artists and their team, and by offering development & release support to a select group of artists.

Our top-rated Nonprofit safeguards and shares Himalayan meditation and indigenous knowledge from the ancient Sanskrit heritage.

Self Enquiry Life Fellowship is a nonprofit organization with worldwide outreach guided by the monastic wisdom of the Hansavedas Mission. The Nonprofit, with its headquarters in California, preserves indigenous knowledge from the Sanskrit heritage, including: extant literature on spiritual philosophy that is meaningful to modern inquiry; spiritual practices of Vedic antiquity that bring about peace in our communities through mindful participation; Himalayan yoga-vinyāsa and Ayurveda that promote wellness and mindfulness in daily living; and Himalayan meditation techniques of unbroken lineages which bring about mental clarity and compassion through self-empowerment, ultimately guiding the meditator to liberation.

The organization is enriched with extraordinary guidance from several Vedic monks of ancient monastic orders. It is rare for reclusive Himalayan monks, who have penanced in Himalaya, to become available to seekers or devotees and serve by disseminating precious streams of knowledge. His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, who is one such ordained Vedic monk of the Giri monastic order, is the spiritual head of the Hansavedas Mission and the spiritual founder of the Nonprofit.

We are committed to the highest level of ethics and have earned the Guidestar Platinum Seal of Transparency. See our profile: guidestar.org/profile/20-3478668. We have also been honoured as a Top-Rated Nonprofit for several years in a row on GreatNonprofits.org.

We aim to connect young creatives with established artists, respecting tradition while also working on the concept of the multidisciplinary artist of the future. 

Our mission is to set new goals and remove limits on creativity and freedom of expression.

We view culture as a powerful tool for promoting sustainability values. We have successfully organized several projects featuring classical music, theater, dance, and film screenings.

Employment in any division of the performing arts and entertainment industry is unpredictable. Work is erratic, security is fleeting and health insurance is often just a dream. For all of these reasons and many more, The Actors Fund is an indispensable and deeply significant part of the entire entertainment community.

As a national organization with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, we directly serve thousands of performing arts and entertainment professionals across the country every year, in person and via our online resources. Our programs are wide in scope, responsive in nature and produce significant results.
