Dear Levitate Community, What a year! As we look back on year three of The Levitate Foundation, we are immensely grateful for the impact, creative community projects, and life-changing opportunities for artists that have been brought to fruition, all thanks to you. Yes you. Whether you were a donor, a volunteer, a sponsor, a grantee, or a customer at Levitate, you contributed to the impact we’ve created together in 2025. Riding the growing wave of support and momentum from 2024, We kept the coals hot on our existing programs — Send A Kid To Camp and Creative Community Grants — and we were able to launch The Emerging Artist Series with our First annual songwriter’s showcase, extending a hand to budding musicians and giving them a one of a kind opportunity to push their career forward. Most importantly, year three gave us the opportunity to see the impact of what we’ve built together to date. Talking with grantees and artists, we heard story after story of how our shared efforts are sparking creativity, self-expression, and collaboration—breathing more art, connection, and inspiration into our community and beyond. By the numbers, Because of your help over the last year, we have: •
Brought unique creative projects and programs to life by awarding over 50 Grants to community leaders, mentors, artists and summer camp organizations.
•
Funded the Send A Kid To Camp program, providing scholarships that made summer camp accessible for over 200 kids, creating opportunities for South Shore children to experience the outdoors and engage with the arts.
•
We doubled down on Creative Excellence scholarships, helping eight next generation artists pursue their academic dreams in the arts.
•
Launched the emerging artist series, putting four boundary pushing emerging musicians on stage at Levitate Music Festival and providing a grant to bring their next album to life.
It has been an honor to help creators, educators, and artists dive deep into their craft and create access for over 4,000 people to do the same to date. And again, that would not be possible without you — your continued support is the lifeblood of these programs, and we are already excited for what’s next.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Pat Cullen Executive Director Levitate Foundation
