Our Impact
Since September 2023, with the generous support of our donors, the STEAM Fund has delivered close to 100 programs, reaching thousands of students, educators and stakeholders across our communities. These programs are designed not only to foster artistic expression but also to empower individuals to make positive, healthy choices.
At the heart of our work is our "Mission One Gig at a Time" – supporting musicians, artists, and the venues that make it possible for them to share their talents. We are proud to sponsor numerous music festivals throughout the Sullivan Catskills region, including the SUNY Sullivan Foundation's The Met: Live in HD, Bold Gold Music Festival, Shandelee Music Festival, Catskill Public Theater, Catskill Art Space, Weekend of Chamber Music, and the HPAC Sullivan County Music Festival, among others.
Scholarships for Graduating Seniors
In addition to our educational and artistic programming, the STEAM Fund provides scholarships for graduating seniors pursuing higher education in the arts. These scholarships help support the next generation of musicians, artists, and creative leaders, ensuring that the arts continue to thrive in our communities.
Join Us in Supporting the Arts
The STEAM Fund is more than just a program; it’s a movement. A movement that believes in the power of music, creativity, and education to nurture minds, heal hearts, and transform lives. With the support of our donors and partners, we are proud to continue making a lasting impact—one gig at a time.
