HELP TRUTH VALUES GROW EXPONENTIALLY

The Truth Values Community Project is a project of Truth and Art, Inc., a federally-recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization. Any contributions in behalf of Truth and Art, Inc. are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

 

DEAR FRIENDS,

Now, more than ever, fresh perspectives are needed concerning the crucial challenges of broadening and enriching the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) community, and increasing public understanding of the human side of science.

We have launched a new initiative with Truth Values, pairing its "refreshing delights of humor, even compassion" (EDGE Media) on stage with talks by special guests, community conversations, and other programming for students and professionals in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), as well as the general public. We also have a feature documentary in progress that will allow our project to have even greater reach.

To continue our work, we need your help. Your generous gift will allow us to to utilize our unique combination of art, science and conversation to spark fresh perspectives and compassionate conversations at performance events both live and recorded, and to offer significant numbers of free tickets to students.

Sincerely,

 

AUDIENCES ARE RAVING!
