What It Makes Possible:

The Saddle Up Capital Campaign (to create the facilities for Ekone's future!) is at a really exciting turning point.  We are hoping & working with all our might towards building the much-needed new Yummy Tummy Cafe in 2021!  We have a very good shot at a $250,000 grant from the Murdock Charitable Trust, but we need to show them we can raise the remaining $674,000 we need to finish this work.  To stay on track, we need individual donors to kick in another $40,000 this year.

Your generous donations and extravagant bidding will help leverage $250,000 and get that new kitchen DONE!

Really, this is a pivotal time to dig deep and lean in with a big YES to the work of Ekone.  Because of the Murdock grant, and because Ekone is so important to so many kids, families, and adults, now and in the future.  Individual and collective health is fostered here.  Skills, nourishment, and a powerful work ethic are infused into the next generation of creative problem solvers here.  We need your support to ensure that it continues, and prepare Ekone to support healing and empowerment for thousands of kids and adults in the years to come.

Ready To Play?

Want to help send the fundraising thermometer soaring towards our goal?  Donations are being accepted gratefully now, and will help build the momentum for the most fabulous (and only) UnBarbed Wire Ball in history. 

THANK YOU!  We're excited to share in the magic and support with you. 

With love from Ekone's creative-problem-solvin' fun-makers and fundraisers.  ♥ ♥
