♥ DONOR LIST ♥
LEGACY DONORS $10,000 and above
We rely heavily on an annual contribution from a private donor, who has supported the Ink Well Kids every year since 2011. We are deeply humbled by this hugely impactful gift.
We are incredibly honored to be sponsored by Blick Art Materials. Since 2015, Blick’s art-supply donations have enabled us to offer the widest range of activities, utilizing the highest quality materials available. This support also helps us provide each child with their own art kit after our events, so that they may continue creating on their own with the new skills they’ve learned together with our professional artists.
We are thrilled to have Emmy-winning, renowned illustrator and character designer, Peter de Séve, on our Board.
Since 2018, Peter has also held an annual art auction of one of his original, signed drawings, raising thousands of dollars for our kids.
Thank you so much, Peter. You are our knight in shining armor forever.
In 2013, The Carnival of Love Foundation provided us with a $10,000 gift, which allowed us to both increase the frequency of our events and expand our reach to more children than in any year previous. The positive effects of this contribution still ripple through to today.

The Society of Illustrators has not only donated children’s books, illustrated by their professional artist members, they’ve also shared their beautiful space on numerous occasions so that Ink Well kids and volunteers could join together for special events like puppet and instrument-making parties.
Annual Party: we are indebted to the lovely actress and kind soul, Jill Larson, for graciously hosting many of our annual parties in her home.
Legal: We are infinitely thankful to Milbank LLP for graciously donating many hours of pro bono legal assistance. Their steadfast team of experts: Edwin Bogert, Nathaniel Browand, Tony Cassino, Greg Holland, David Kaye, Christopher Kwan, William McNamara, and Tom Quirxtner have helped to decipher countless complicated matters over the years. We can only hope they know the lasting impact they’ve made through this invaluable support.
And to Gowri Krishna, who together with the Urban Justice Center, helped us get our start at the very beginning in 2005. We are so deeply grateful for your kind, selfless heart.
