Helping Today

Our Mission is to help Schools and children in need

Exchange4 Creativity is a nonprofit organization that aspires to center the arts, and creative cultures, in the lives of children of all ages. We are a vital driver of the cultural, social, educational, and economic power of the arts, and we seek to solve the challenge of obtaining art  and sensory supplies for our teachers and communities. We uplift the work of teachers, build coalitions, and engage in a leadership of giving. We are dedicated to establishing a creative, children-first culture. We strive to balance the financial gap, providing art and sensory supplies where they are needed. We have been fortunate to donate to individual teachers and children in need. 
 
Our mission is the continued support of a broader range of educational institutions for children; it takes monetary resources and supplies to make this possible. Exchange4 Creativity remains committed to raising funds to purchase art and sensory supplies and request donated art  and sensory supplies to support teachers and children’s artistic creativity.

Help Children

When you give to Exchange4 Creativity, you’re helping children do more creatively. You’re giving them tools to express themselves, manage stress, and build lasting confidence. Each item and art supply will help children and teachers work together to discover joy and creativity, moments that can change a life.

We Care

We care about giving children the tools to imagine, express, and thrive.

Education

Some schools have little to no budget for classroom activities. At Exchange4 Creativity, we step in by distributing free art supplies directly to schools, teachers, and children in need. These supplies bring color, creativity, and joy into classrooms that might otherwise go without, helping students learn, express themselves, and thrive.

Research

Decline in Credentialed Arts Educators A Think 360 Arts report (2025) observes a continued decline in the number of credentialed arts teachers in Colorado. Think 360 Arts Dramatic arts (theater) has seen steep declines: in fact, of Colorado’s 187 school districts, 164 districts had no certified dramatic arts teachers. That’s nearly 90% of districts without a theater teacher. KUNC Some districts are reducing staffing or cutting arts programs entirely, especially in disciplines seen as less “core.” KUNC These reductions imply weaker capacity for schools to provide quality arts experiences, especially in under-resourced districts.
