PROJECT SUPPORT
Every year, we are amazed and inspired by the beautiful works of art that our student artists create for healthcare sites and to give to healthcare workers.
If you're inspired by our mission and the work that the students are doing, we would so appreciate your support for our 2022-23 projects and paintings.
Your donation of $10 to $999 will help purchase project supplies, including paints and paintbrushes, canvases, and more. Donations of $1,000 help to support a single project, while a donation of $5,000 fully supports the cost of a project. With a donation of $50 or more, you will receive a set of YAFH notecards including images of student-created artwork (see below).
Please consider giving a tax-deductible gift online or by sending a check, made payable to Youth Art For Healing, to the following address:

THE MATT PAPIRMEISTER AWARD
Youth Art For Healing has recently established the Matt Papirmeister Award, to be presented to two high school seniors in the form of a $2,500 scholarship for each student toward their post-secondary education. Winners of the annual award will be selected by the YAFH Board of Directors, after a careful review of answers to essay questions and evaluation scores from the students' program advisors.
The award is in memory of Matt, cherished son of YAFH founder Jan Papirmeister and her husband Chuck, and brother of Sara. It is designed not only to commemorate Matt’s kind spirit and zest for life, but also to support and honor student artists who, with their creativity, empathy, and commitment, give to others through the Youth Art For Healing program.
To learn more about the award, please visit the Matt Papirmeister Award page on our website.
To help endow the award, the YAFH Board of Directors will match the first $5,000 in donations earmarked for the award. You can donate to the Matt Papirmeister Award and help support deserving students achieve their dreams.
