We’re thrilled to share some incredible news: Ashokan’s $500,000 matching challenge has been met and exceeded!
We’re deeply grateful to the anonymous supporter who inspired this challenge—and to every member of our incredible community who helped meet it. Because of you, Ashokan can continue serving thousands each year through programs that educate, inspire, and connect.
This achievement represents far more than dollars raised. It helps Ashokan realize our dream of making transformative experiences in nature, music, and art accessible to everyone, regardless of financial ability. Thanks to your support, youth from all walks of life are exploring the forest and streams for the first time, and our tiered pricing and scholarship programs are making cultural events and Music & Dance Camps accessible to musicians, teachers, and families who might otherwise have been unable to attend.
Your collective generosity has strengthened every part of Ashokan’s mission — blending arts, nature, and community in ways that uplift and connect people of all ages and backgrounds.
From all of us at The Ashokan Center, we thank you for believing in this place. Together, we’re ensuring that Ashokan continues to inspire for generations to come.
