C.C. is IAM

Published on May 24, 2010 by Christy Tennant

Last week, we received a letter from a woman I'll call "C.C.", along with a check for $1,000. Her letter was so encouraging that I wanted to share a portion of it with you here.

As a non-profit arts organization that does not sell any widgets, but offers inspiration and language to help people throughout the world have a way of seeing their role as artists and creative catalysts more clearly, we rely heavily on the generosity of people like C.C., who understand that the work we are doing matters.

Perhaps you have not received an inheritance recently (I never have!) But do you believe in the work we're doing? If so, please consider supporting the movement with a tax-deductible donation. IAM is a 501(c)3, and most of our budget comes from small gifts from people who appreciate the work we do.

From C.C. in Missouri:

Greetings IAM Staff:

I first heard of IAM through a presentation that Makoto Fujimura gave at my undergraduate institution in 2007 - John Brown University. I was immediately captivated by this organization's ethos and particularly interested in IAM's catalytic work as an arts administration. I have followed IAM's work since then and as of late, was fortunate enough to participate in the Encounter weekend in 2010. This was an extraordinary even for me on many levels... What a joy! ...

I have written today to encourage your staff and for the good work that they are doing, as well as to support IAM financially. My grandmother recently passed away, and in her honor I would like to gift $1,000 to IAM. She was a bright woman of faith... (and) she was a constant encouragement to me in my artistic pursuits, and it is my hope to share that gift...
