Teen Artists for Change
Independently United founder Kaityn Kenny presents Jim Stevens with a check for $700 – the proceeds from their debut “pop-up gallery” auction.
Independently United is a consortium of SouthCoast High School artists, sponsored by GiftsToGive, who exhibit at local “pop-up” galleries and auction their art to support local causes they believe in.

Some people talk about making a difference – these students found a most creative and sustainable way of modeling a new kind of youth philanthropy!
Nicole Long, one of our earliest adopters wrote last week – “SO PROUD of my niece Abby and her cousin Georgia: over Christmas vacation they brainstormed a charitable organization called “GAB” and collected over $100 in one weekend to help people less fortunate. This morning, Abby gave me the money… (Which is being matched by their Grandmother Blair!) to deliver to GiftsToGive and I can’t think of a more beautiful start to a new year. Love these girls and their giant hearts.”
CamRon Frazier, our extraordinary Student Intern, is helping to raise money for his ROTC unit at New Bedford High School, for their uniform fund!
