Aliento has been selected as a recipient of the Kindness in Community Fund Grant
Aliento is thrilled to announce our selection as a 2024 Kindness in Community Fund grant recipient, supporting youth mental health and wellbeing in our community. Born This Way Foundation, co-founded by Lady Gaga and her mother Cynthia Germanotta, partnered with Australian-born fashion and lifestyle brand Cotton On and its philanthropic arm, the Cotton On Foundation, to support organizations in 10 countries, including the United States, investing $75,000 USD to support our work through Aliento’s Cultiva program to provide arts and healing workshops, open mics and art galleries.
“We are immensely grateful to Born This Way Foundation and Cotton On Foundation for recognizing the importance of our work at Aliento. This grant will enable us to deepen our impact on youth mental health and well-being, providing vital resources and support to children of immigrants and Dreamers at such a critical moment where immigrants are often not welcomed and their humanity is not being recognized. Together, we are creating a brighter future where all young people and their families, regardless of their immigration status, can belong.” - Reyna Montoya, CEO of Aliento
