100% of your AOK Day donation to the Koa Fund goes to organizations such as these. Each and every one helps youth be valiant in their own way. We are a more powerful, collective ally for youth in our communities when we all come together to support these innovative, heart-led efforts where a wide range of youth identities can flourish:

Slide 1: Our longest and deepest partnership, is an organization and family we’ve simply fallen in love with. 🫶

Slide 2: is our newest and grandest partnership, and we are thrilled to be the pilot funder for YETTA (Youth Empowerment Through the Arts)! 🎨

Slide 3: After deciding to host SG25 we met and they gifted their space and talents for our event. 🙏And now, we are helping to grow their youth programs.

Slide 4: Similarly, we engaged for video and podcast support for our Sunrise Gathering in 2025. 🎥Now, Koa Fund grant funding is supporting their youth programs.

Slide 5: Get this… allows us to help kids take home a plushy version of their favorite therapy dog who supports them in their resilience! 🐶

Slide 6: We’ve supported since our inception and today we are finding more ways to offer support to each other. 🚴🏽‍♀️

Slide 7: We have a soft spot for supporting JABS (Justice Against Bullying @ School) from and for volunteering at their annual Youth Connect event. 😁

Slide 8: On AOK Day 2025 we visited the 📚 to celebrate our support and their mission to celebrate and amplify youth voices!

Slide 9: Our connection with was born from our common trauma of the loss of a child, and continues on with shared empathy and wisdom. 💚

Slide 10: Our support for Big Pride included a Koa Café retreat called Dream Seekers where q***r youth and their mentors made this art as a response to their day. 🖼️

In Koa Yoga Chapter 6, we’ll take queues from Koa’s upside down garden bedroom… where bird-filled cherry blossom branches bloom down the wall… and where an umbrella hangs upside down, as shelter from the bright yellow sun and rain clouds passing across the floor, and to dance with across the lawn of popping flowers. 🌸🌻🪻

It starts with openness and love in our hearts - with advocacy and action in our voices and our priorities - and it changes lives through our many grant recipients who teach and mentor youth — including

This is the Sunrise Gathering presented by the Koa Fund — a community giving circle of creative collaborators and supporters who seek growth in their hearts and opportunity for our youth.
