We\u2019re delighted to share that this month, we\u2019ve officially assisted us in funding 100 projects in classrooms around the nation via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DonorsChoose<\/a>. These include supplies and materials for K-12 students, some of whom are learning about and experiencing art for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>A portion of all Membership fees are allocated to this initiative, and so far we\u2019ve been able to contribute more than $13,000, making a substantial difference in numerous learning spaces. And since we\u2019re based in Chicago, we especially like to support classrooms here at home. Here\u2019s what a few recent recipients had to say after their projects were funded:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThese supplies will boost morale and prove to students they are seen and cared about. In a time when it is an act of bravery for them to leave their homes and be in school, the ability to be creative without any limits to materials means more than anything.\u201d \u2014Ms. Resnick, Gage Park High School, Chicago<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you so much for your generous support of our 4th-grade classroom! Because of you, every student now has a set of vibrant watercolor paints to bring their learning to life.\u201d \u2014Mrs. Wilson, Dawes Elementary School, Chicago<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of our students, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous contribution to our art classroom. Your support has made a real and lasting impact \u2014 from sketch books to erasers to our art drying rack \u2013 every supply you helped provide has become a tool for creativity, self-expression, and learning.\u201d \u2014Ms. Pogue, Deneen School of Excellence, Chicago<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Find out more about the specific projects funded on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.donorschoose.org\/colossal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DonorsChoose<\/a>, and join us by becoming a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/members\/\">Colossal Member<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"after-entry\" role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"After Entry\">\n<section id=\"block-16\" class=\"widget widget_block widget_text\">\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:#88caf0\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Do stories and artists like this matter to you?<\/strong><\/mark> Become a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/members\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"118516\">Colossal Member<\/a> now, and support independent arts publishing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"block-17\" class=\"widget widget_block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top member-benefits is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hide advertising<\/li>\n<li>Save your favorite articles<\/li>\n<li>Get 15% off in the <a href=\"https:\/\/colossal.shop\/\">Colossal Shop<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Receive members-only newsletter<\/li>\n<li>Give 1% for art supplies in K-12 classrooms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top member-options is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join us today!<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-crow-color has-verdigris-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/colossal.memberful.com\/checkout?plan=113464\">$7\/month<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-crow-color has-verdigris-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/colossal.memberful.com\/checkout?plan=113463\">$75\/year<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-crow-color has-chalk-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/members\/\">Explore membership options<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"20\" height=\"21\" class=\"wp-image-327872\" style=\"width: 20px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/arrow-left.svg\" alt><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/aside>\n<nav class=\"navigation post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\">\n<div class=\"nav-links\">\n<div class=\"nav-previous\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/2026\/04\/artemis-ii-earthset-moon-nasa-space-travel\/\" rel=\"prev\">Next article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colossal Members Have Funded 100 Projects in K-12 Classrooms through DonorsChoose April 8, 2026 Colossal Colossal Share Email Bookmark Colossal Members have helped us reach fantastic milestone!
