Uplift a Non-Profit that Transforms Lives Through Time Spent in Nature, Seeing, Painting, and Material Rich Tactile Human Sensory Intelligence!

Looking to support an arts program with real impact—a program with real tooth?

Join us for this 24-hour fundraising event to support the Mount Gretna School of Art (MGSoA)—a program that’s reinvigorating arts education in the 21st century.

Why MGSoA?

We’re not just another art program. MGSoA is a world-class summer Intensive School, connecting college through graduate-level art students with nature through the tradition of plein air painting. In just 7 rigorous weeks, students report learning more than they do in years of conventional study.

But this experience isn’t just for those who can afford it—equity is at the heart of everything we do.

  • FULL scholarships for low-income students
  • PARTIAL scholarships for middle-income students
  • MERIT awards for all qualifying students
  • Art supplies stipends go even further to level the playing field

These programs ensure that every talented artist admitted to our program can unlock their potential, regardless of their background.

This Year’s Goal: $15,000 in 24 Hours!

We need YOU to make it happen!

A BIG THANK YOU to Purpose 1 for two exclusive MGSoA grants today:

  • Goal One REACHED!!!!: A $2,000 Dollar-for-Dollar Match, up to $50 per donor
  • Goal Two REACHED!!!!: A $2,000 100 Donors Challenge

Every Gift Matters

In an event like this, large numbers of donors matter as much as large numbers of dollars:

  • $10 could provide art supplies
  • $100 helps fund scholarships
  • $1,000 or more brings us closer to fully supporting a student’s journey

BONUS: Win Prizes for MGSoA!

Your donation could help MGSoA win $500 prizes throughout the day, making your gift go even further.

Time is Running Out!

This is your moment to transform lives. Every dollar you give today fuels MGSoA’s vision of becoming the most transformative, equitable, and enduring residential arts program of the 21st century.

Don’t wait—donate now and make a difference on Nov. 22!

Important Note:
Please don't feel obligated to pay platform fees at checkout. While it helps, the stretch pool dollars offered by ExtraGive sponsors more than cover those fees.
