Community
Tmarks has long believed that the backbone of society and a good life is not simply being part of a community, but taking part in community. It’s in our DNA and a source of joy. We endeavor to help power ideas and forces for good.
One of our favorites is The Link Program. It’s an outreach of AIGA Seattle that began way back in 1994 and helps high school students express themselves in art and build self-esteem. It’s wonderful. If you have the means, we highly suggest you check Link out.
Terry was awarded SAPPI Ideas That Matter Grants on behalf of ASTAR for Autism and the YES! Foundation – and in 2018 judged the ITM grants for SAPPI.
It’s been our good fortune to collaborate with many organizations that work for good. Did we say ‘good’ too many times? That’s because there’s so much of it:
Art With Heart
Nimbus Arts
Refugee Artisan Initiative
YES! Foundation of White Center
Make A Wish
