Thank you to our supporters

Thank you to our supporters!

Every year this anthology is assembled and printed, it is with support from the Lillian Wright and C. Emil Berglund Foundation. Thank you for making this collection of writings from youth possible!

We also thank Minnesota taxpayers. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

COMPAS and the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation

For almost 30 years, the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation has invested in COMPAS and its art education program, serving the east metro of the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin counties. Early on, the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation board recognized the life-long benefits K-12 students received from COMPAS’ Poets and Writers in the Schools program. When the program expanded to other artforms, the foundation continued its support. Over the years, their support has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of students by bringing participatory, creative experiences right into classrooms and after school programs.

In 2021, we recognize the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation for their commitment to students and for their faithful support of COMPAS. It is with deep appreciation that we acknowledge this ongoing support – Thank You!
