We provide creative comfort for
youth facing challenging circumstances
Through creativity, we help children and teens find moments of calm, self-expression, and hope.
Who We Are
The Heritage Arts Foundation provides Creativity Kits to children and teens facing difficult life circumstances. Through creativity, self-expression, and hands-on activities, our kits offer moments of calm, comfort, and connection when they are needed most.
Whether a child is facing illness, grief, family challenges, displacement, or other hardships, we believe creativity can be a meaningful source of hope and resilience.
At Heritage Arts Foundation, every child deserves the opportunity to create.
