As many of us have experienced, the performing arts spark imagination and strengthen well-being. That feeling of wonder after a live performance isn’t just magic, it’s measurable. 

Research shows that when students experience the arts, they feel less anxious, build stronger social connections, and thrive academically. 

Too many students face barriers that block access to these transformative experiences. Limited financial resources and lack of transportation mean thousands of young people are missing out on the confidence, joy, and connection that the arts create. 

So FIM took the stage to them. 

Your gift today ensures every student, no matter their circumstances, can experience the arts in a way that enriches their learning, their confidence, and their future through our community programs. 

With your support, we can reach more classrooms, more students, and create more measurable magic. 

Make your gift now to support FIM Community Programs in 2026.

Together, we can keep the arts magical, meaningful, and measurable for every child.
