My experience during those 5 years opened a lot of doors from that time until now! I will always be grateful with this great university! 

I gave to the Jodie Ruby Melodies for All fund because she was a friend and fellow board member. She is dearly missed. 

We are so fortunate to have this Museum and Gift Shop available. A tour of the museum will open your eyes to a whole new world!

With AI you could cut the costs of high-quality art 1000x and put significant focus on AI for longevity. 

I gave because Jodie was a friend and fellow board member. She is dearly missed. 🎶

This team is brilliant! Please support their work in any meaningful way you can.

Helping artists actualize their vision since 1965!

Intersection for the Arts is a bedrock Bay Area arts nonprofit that’s dedicated to helping artists grow. Through vital resources, including fiscal sponsorship, low-cost coworking and event space, and professional development programs, we empower people to continue creating, thinking big, and taking weird and wonderful risks.

We believe art and culture are necessary elements of wellbeing. That’s why we serve people working in the arts—from artists to educators to administrators to funders.

We take the stance that artists should be at the top of the systems that were originally created to support their work. Art institutions would not exist but for artists’ creativity, sweat, blood, tears, and enormously generous hearts. We support those who take matters into their own capable hands and make their own opportunities. We stand by artists every day in their efforts to make our communities better, healthier, more exciting and dynamic places to live our lives.

Secular Jewish Circle of Puget Sound is the Washington state chapter of the Society for Humanistic Judaism since 1995.

Secular Jewish Circle of Puget Sound (SJC) is the ONLY Secular Humanistic Jewish congregation in Washington state, based in and around the Puget Sound region. We host Secular Humanistic Jewish holiday services, operate youth and adult education programs, and ordain all manner of lifecycle events, whether or not they're traditionally Jewish.

Many other denominations of Judaism have a history of turning Jews away whom they deem "not Jewish enough," but Secular Humanistic Judaism is a denomination that acknowledges how vast the Jewish diaspora is, and how different all our cultures and lives can be. It does not endeavor to police *your* personal Jewishness. Thus, SJC operates on the self-identification model: Whether you are patrilineal, converted, or interfaith: When you tell us you're Jewish, we believe you, and you are welcome here!

São Paulo-based Ilumina creates global pathways to inclusion, education, and opportunity for extraordinary musical talent.

**ILUMINA**
**From farm to stage and to the world, Ilumina creates bridges that change the flow of talent around the globe.** 

A diverse community of artists and thinkers with a transformative social mission, Ilumina is writing a new narrative for 21st-century music-making, where worthy talent gets an equal chance to shine, no matter where they come from.

Violist and director **Jennifer Stumm** founded Ilumina on a coffee farm in Brazil in 2015. Its creator-led model unites young artists from diverse origins with global leaders in the field, develops new leaders by opening doors to top quality education, and builds lasting community, all while bringing joy to the world stage. Already, nearly 150 young artists from Ilumina projects have embarked upon performing careers, having attended world-leading conservatories at a 96% acceptance rate. Thousands more benefit from Ilumina’s digital education projects. Artists in the Ilumina community include **Christian Poltera**, **Paul Lewis**, **Liza Ferschtman**, **Tai Murray**, **Anthony Marwood**, **Julian Steckel**, **Boris Brovtsyn**, the **Danish Quartet** and many more, who commit their time to amplify opportunity for young people from very different backgrounds.

Ilumina performances immerse listeners in diverse musical worlds, radically fueled by the freshness of cultural exchange and the power of community, whether in a warehouse, on a farm, or in one of the legendary concert halls of the world. Internationally, Ilumina made a highly lauded **Lucerne Festival debut in 2022**, followed by invitations around the world. In 2024, it became the first Brazilian ensemble to have a **full residency at the Edinburgh International Festival**, made its large hall debut in the **Concertgebouw Amsterdam**, toured in Germany, Austria and Italy and will release its debut album, “Transfigurada,” recorded at the Grafenegg Festival. On September 26, 2024, the prestigious **Kronberg Academy** (Germany) awarded Jennifer Stumm the **Pablo Casals Award - For a Better World** in recognition for her visionary work in cultivating worthy talent from Latin America through Ilumina.

The annual Ilumina Festival every January in São Paulo is firmly established as one of the most significant and innovative music festivals in Latin America, with a majority of its large audience coming from urban and agricultural peripheries and hearing classical music for the first time. Ilumina is a sought-after creator of new festivals, having replicated its innovative model in Austria, Bolivia and Bahia, and, in 2024 it will build its newest musical immersion in the mountains above Bogotá, Colombia.

Since 2019 Jennifer Stumm has regularly spoken at NASA about how thinking like an artist inspires solutions for the world’s grand challenges. Moreover, there has been much interest in Ilumina’s model of efficient musical and social development. During the global pandemic, Ilumina’s digital project, “Equal Music,” united 1,000 musicians around the world to offer private lessons for those who lack access to arts education, leading to multiple full scholarships to universities for its young participants. In 2022 it launched “ECO,” in partnership with the pioneering sustainable coffee farm Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza, connecting music and sustainability and democratizing access in agricultural communities to quality of life in all forms.

**The Philosophy of Ilumina**
by Jennifer Stumm, Founder and CEO of Ilumina

The source of Ilumina’s creative energy, where it all began, is a sustainable coffee farm in Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest. Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza is a magical place teeming with life, where every organism resonates, from giant trees to tiny hummingbirds. You change one tiny detail, and the entire system evolves, for better or for worse. Just like the farm, Ilumina is an ecosystem. When I founded the project in 2015, first as a grassroots festival project, the dream was to build a new kind of global community of artists and thinkers, driven by social ideals, where people from very different backgrounds inspire and help each other, leaving traditional hierarchies behind and building powerful new creative paths. From the very start, when we were playing a few concerts in a sawmill for farm workers, we could feel something transformative happening between us.

My grandmother, a self-taught pianist with an ear far better than mine, had no chance to study music as a Cherokee person in depression-era Appalachia. The only difference between her story and mine is that I had the chance to be heard. The reality of global inequity is that everywhere in the world there are talented and brilliant people with ideas, creative solutions and unique voices but the vast majority of them are not heard in the halls of power. We at Ilumina believe that talent does not choose where it is born. If we want greater equity and diversity in the world, and the world of music, there must be equity and diversity in the process of creation. That means looking honestly at the intrinsic barriers that keep diverse voices from the mainstream, how systems and traditions can be full of inequities, even with the best of intentions. For example, in classical music it is assumed that a violinist must start playing as a small child to be successful. But a large number of Ilumina musicians start playing in their teens and within a few years are accepted to study at top conservatoires.

Education, sustainability, community, equity, world-class performance and boundary-shifting creativity —these elements of our universe enrich and depend on each other. We don’t prioritize one over the other but view interdependence as proof of a healthy cultural ecosystem. We don’t see concerts on big stages as more important than education and community. A young artist might come to the Ilumina Festival for a couple of years or participate in digital lessons, receive support and a scholarship to study at a great conservatoire, and years later perform on tour as part of our artist collective. Further down the line, they might build their own collective or social project and invest onwards in new communities. Or an established artist might come to our festival or perform on tour with us and make friends with people they never would have otherwise, gaining new perspectives on social and educational inequality, and perhaps ultimately changing the way they view and value audiences. They might start to make different creative decisions, pick up the phone for people who might not have equal access, or notice who is sitting at the tables of power.

On stage, we think diversity is something you should hear. An Ilumina rehearsal might begin with freestyle Brazilian funk dance while improvising on a Baroque bass line but could equally dive so deep into a Ludwig van Beethoven score that we spend an hour working our way into the rhythmic identity of a few bars of music. We use movement and rhythm as connectors, a way to read each other on stage, to stretch our emotional vulnerability and flexibility. Our collective is a rich mix of humans with strong points of view and individual talents, and we lean into the inspiration and friction born from that. We try not to fear looking deeply at hard things. And while for sure there is joy in performing on the world’s big stages, the heart of Ilumina will always be our community. Artists, thinkers, agricultural workers, the amazing people who work on the farm and know every musician by name. Our large urban audience, who fill every seat in the biggest hall in São Paulo no matter how wild and adventurous the program. It’s human connection that powers our creativity.

Ilumina derives from the Portuguese verb ‘iluminar’, meaning ‘to enlighten’. We believe the future is multi-disciplinary and that music is a great illuminator for every other part of life. Music is language, science, emotion, history, and all the complexities of being human. It’s one of the most powerful connectors of both hemispheres of the brain, allowing us to link what we think with how we feel at the same time, to see the world and each other with deeper compassion and clarity. Just like the ecosystem of the forest, music helps us understand why the inclusion of diverse voices is not just a nice ideal but an imperative for the health of the global community. If we believe inclusion is right and true, we should expect better, more challenging and life-changing impact, on stages, in boardrooms and governments, and in ourselves.

Educational media that ignites curiosity and long-term thinking through science, culture, and ideas shaping our shared future.

**Our Mission**
Accelerator Media ignites fearless curiosity and bold, forward-looking perspectives on humanity’s future through transformative storytelling. Guided by this perspective, we create compelling media that explores human potential, fosters global connection, and inspires a shared vision for the future we can build together.

**Our Vision**
We imagine a future where curiosity unites us, exploration—grounded in scientific humility—broadens our understanding, and long-term thinking shapes a collective path of discovery, connection, and possibility.

**Why Accelerator Media?**
In today’s media landscape, content is often designed to provoke quick reactions, amplify division, and reward short-term attention. This constant cycle of distraction is eroding our ability to think critically, reflect deeply, and engage with the complex issues shaping our shared future. There is a growing need for media that encourages curiosity, imagination, and long-term thinking—especially in an increasingly divided world.

Accelerator Media exists to meet this need. We produce thoughtful, curiosity-driven content that invites reflection over reaction and exploration over blame. Through our growing portfolio of original podcasts, we bring together leading voices in science, technology, and the humanities from around the world—fostering global dialogue, and inspiring audiences of all ages to think more deeply about our shared future. With support, we can expand our reach, elevate production quality, and make meaningful media more accessible to those seeking substance and connection in an increasingly fragmented world.

**Our Work**
Accelerator Media is building a dynamic portfolio of media initiatives designed to inform, inspire, and empower curious minds to become world-changers. Our core projects include:

●      **[Curiosity Entangled](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)**[ ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)– *A* unique, non-hosted podcast bringing together visionaries from different disciplines for conversations driven by mutual curiosity. At the heart of our work, *Curiosity Entangled* exemplifies our mission by weaving interdisciplinary insights into a tapestry of discovery. These dialogues reveal unexpected connections, spark fresh ideas, and offer bold answers to humanity’s toughest questions.

●      **[Ignition Sequence](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7gQX6xSAT9wArswbB7Gdjen)** – A video podcast exploring the big ideas shaping science, technology, culture, and the humanities, and how they shape the future.

●      **[Go! For Launch](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7iU0d0Wxa145AioTck3xPf1)** – A podcast guiding young adults toward meaningful STEM careers, blending inspiration with practical insights from global experts and educators.

●      **Future Documentary Projects** – High-quality documentaries and cinematic explorations—around the world and beyond—that take deep dives into pressing questions about humanity’s future, including a planned docuseries evolving from *Curiosity Entangled*.

**Our Impact**
Accelerator Media launched its flagship podcasts, Ignition Sequence and Go! For Launch, to immediate success, garnering over 670,000 YouTube views and 1,500 subscribers in just the first ten weeks, demonstrating significant public interest. This rapid growth, driven entirely by volunteer efforts, validates the demand for content that explores profound questions and career paths in science, technology, and culture, and signals our potential for even greater impact as we expand.

**Primary Platforms**
Currently, Accelerator Media distributes content primarily through YouTube and leading podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Our ambitious growth strategy includes future collaborations and distribution through major platforms such as PBS, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, especially for our documentary-focused project, Curiosity Entangled.

**The Need for Support**
At Accelerator Media, **we believe that knowledge drives the future**—shaping the ideas, innovations, and collective vision that will define humanity’s path forward. To produce this transformative content at scale, we need the financial resources to grow our team, enhance production quality, and expand our reach.

To date, all of our work has been accomplished by a dedicated volunteer team operating with minimal funding. This early momentum is a testament to the strength of our mission and the public demand for thoughtful, future-focused media. Now, to meet that demand and ensure long-term impact, we must transition from a volunteer-led effort to a fully supported organization with the capacity to grow.

With a fundraising goal of $1.5M, we aim to:

●      **Staff**: Hire producers, an education manager, and a marketing specialist to sustain and amplify our work.

●      **Operations**: Fund legal, accounting, and administrative essentials for stability and compliance.

●      **Production**: Boost quality for podcasts and documentaries, crafting stories that captivate and educate.

●      **Reach**: Expand globally through partnerships, digital platforms, and new media channels.

●      **Community**: Nurture a network of lifelong learners with evolving content, live events, and interactive forums.

**Why Your Support Matters**
Imagine a world where everyone embraces a century’s-thinking mindset and sees a path to shape tomorrow. A world where curiosity brings us together, exploration cuts through the noise of division and discovery unlocks the full potential of humanity.

That’s the future we’re building—with your support.

We invite you to ignite curiosity and inspire a future shaped by exploration and long-term vision. Your support empowers educational media that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and explores what’s possible for our shared future.

**Together, let’s spark the curiosity that shapes tomorrow.**

The Civic Circle empowers students students to understand and participate in democracy through music and the arts.

The Civic Circle launched in 2018 to empower low-income students with civic skills, lift youth voices through the arts, and close a well-documented equity gap in civic learning and engagement.

Since then, we’ve reached more than 5,000 underserved students with our after-school workshops, assembly shows and community civic events. The heart of our program is seven civic skills we call “steps to democracy”— Listen, Learn, Choose, Join, Speak, Act and Lead. In other words, be a compassionate, informed, engaged citizen.

Civic learning correlates to better school performance, and college and career readiness. Students in our programs do Social Studies and service-learning activities, and work with teaching artists to create and perform their own civic songs, poems, and art pieces. Along the way they build literacy, confidence, self-expression, and social and emotional skills.

Our innovative, multicultural program equips students with the civic skills they will need to become voters and leaders in their communities, a mission that is increasingly crucial both for student achievement, and for our success as a democratic society. For more information, please contact info@theciviccircle.org, or visit www.theciviccircle.org.
