Every donation made to The Boettner Arts Foundation directly supports our mission of expanding access to creativity for children in underserved communities. Contributions are used to purchase art supplies, assemble creative kits, support educational art initiatives, and help cover the costs of distributing these materials to the children and organizations we serve.
Our priority is ensuring that every dollar creates meaningful opportunities for young artists to learn, imagine, and express themselves.

The Foundation provides art supplies to children who may not otherwise have access to creative resources due to financial hardship or limited educational funding.
Supplies are distributed through schools, educators, youth organizations, community programs, libraries, nonprofit organizations, and other partners serving children in underserved communities.
Our goal is to ensure that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of creative expression.

The Boettner Arts Foundation works with trusted community organizations, educators, and nonprofit partners to identify where supplies are needed most.

Rather than simply donating materials, we strive to place resources where they will have the greatest impact—supporting classrooms, after-school programs, community events, and organizations dedicated to enriching children's lives through creativity.

This collaborative approach allows us to reach more children while ensuring donations are used effectively and responsibly.
How does the Foundation ensure transparency?
Transparency and stewardship are central to everything we do.
The Boettner Arts Foundation is committed to managing every contribution responsibly and using donations solely to advance our charitable mission. We believe our supporters deserve confidence that their generosity is making a real difference in the lives of children.

As the Foundation grows, we remain committed to maintaining clear communication about our programs, partnerships, and community impact.

Can I donate art supplies instead of money?
We welcome conversations with individuals, schools, businesses, and organizations interested in supporting our mission through in-kind donations.
Please contact us before sending supplies so we can determine current needs and coordinate the most effective way to serve the children and communities we support.

Absolutely.
We believe lasting impact is built through collaboration. We welcome partnerships with schools, nonprofits, businesses, artists, educators, libraries, and community organizations that share our commitment to expanding creative opportunities for children.
Together, we can reach more communities and inspire more young creators.

The Boettner Arts Foundation is committed to growing its reach and expanding opportunities for children through creativity.
Future initiatives include increasing the number of art supply distributions, developing community art programs, supporting educational workshops, establishing partnerships with additional schools and nonprofit organizations, and creating more opportunities for children to discover confidence through artistic expression.
Every donation helps move us one step closer to making creativity accessible to every child who dreams of creating something beautiful.

The Foundation was established to honor the life and legacy of Carolyn Boettner, whose compassion, creativity, and belief in the power of art continue to inspire its mission.

Today, Roger Boettner carries forward her vision by helping provide creative opportunities to children who might otherwise never experience the joy of making art.

Every child reached through the Foundation is a reflection of Carolyn's enduring belief that creativity has the power to bring hope, confidence, and possibility into a young person's life.

There are many meaningful ways to support our mission.

You can share our work with friends and family, introduce us to schools or community organizations, organize an art supply drive, explore partnership opportunities, or simply help spread the message that every child deserves the opportunity to create.
Together, every act of generosity—large or small—helps keep Carolyn's legacy alive and places creativity into the hands of children who need it most.
