Who We Are
The Sanctuary is a community hub offering a home for social connection and creative expression. We are a nonprofit, volunteer run-dynamic space where all walks of life can connect through holistic wellness, education workshops, and artistic classes and events. Our current programs include our poetry circle, songwriters circle, women’s circle, and meditation & discussion circle. We also double as a music venue and regularly work with individuals and organizations to cultivate pop up events, classes, and workshops.
Why We Need Funding
We recently moved to an amazing new space in Butler, NJ, where we can expand our programs and offerings! Moving locations and scaling up is a costly process. We are seeking to raise $10,000 in order to grow our organization and thrive in our new location! Receiving this funding will enable us to stay donation-based as well, instead of charging admission to all our programs. It is our goal to one day be fully funded, eliminating the need to ask for donations at our events! Until then, we rely on individual donations.
The Impact of Your Donation
Over the past year we hosted more than 300 events, from our poetry, songwriter, women’s, and meditation & discussion circles, to our concerts and pop up events. Our vision is to make an even greater impact in the community at our new space in Butler! The new location has a much larger capacity and offers us the opportunity to open a fully functioning music venue! The more funding we receive, the more we are able to serve the community with meaningful and creative programs and events.
Your donation will directly help us:
- Keep our nonprofit organization running
- Expand our program offering
- Open a live music venue
- Help us stay donation-based
We had been limited in what we could offer in our old space. It was 600 square feet, had a low occupancy, and we could not host full band shows. We only had the ability to do three shows a month and we were limited to acoustic performances. We had to turn people away at the door from some of our programs because we reached capacity!
Our new space offers us the potential to grow as an organization and offer the Northern New Jersey area the space it needs and deserves. We have built a dedicated community over the past year that is committed to making this organization prosper long term. With your help, we will continue to build and offer a home for social connection and creative expression.
