ZS Consulting x IPMM: National Expansion!

Our friends at ZS Consulting have been working with us for a few years now out of their Evanston offices. They’re a super fun and passionate team, committed to charitable efforts and wonderful to work with. They were part of our inaugural Sponsor a School program last year, wherein corporate partners help us raise money to fully fund Shared Walls arts programming at CPS schools. 

However, this year our partnership has blossomed and expanded nationally! We’re so excited to announce that ZS offices in EIGHT cities have joined us to raise money to provide the IPMM Visual Arts Education Curriculum and art supplies to over 200 art teachers across the country. 

ZS offices in Boston, Chicago, Evanston, NYC, Princeton, San Diego, and San Francisco are all joining in on the fun! For 21 days, each office will be running their own fundraiser, hosting events and keeping the pressure on to try to get to $2,500 raised by the employees. If the office hits their $2,500 goal, ZS will match them for a total of $5,000 raised per office! 

At the end of the three week fundraising period, each ZS office will have a celebration where they’ll get to pack arts supplies bags for one selected school in each city. The offices will then deliver their art supplies bags to their selected schools and get to meet some of the teachers and administrators at the school where their impact will be felt the most. 

We’re so excited to be working with these amazing ZS’ers as they invest in their community schools. This partnership has allowed IPaintMyMind to expand nationally for the first time in our organizational history. Our horizons are broadening and we’re thrilled to meet and support so many amazing public school teachers and administrators in cities across the country. 

Art can connect disparate communities and forge long-lasting connections. We’re so excited to see what connections come out of this new partnership with ZS Consulting.
