Project Title: Wabi Sabi General Operating
Project Description:
Our mission is centered on providing financial and material assistance to uplift Moab’s most vulnerable residents. We envision a community where the intrinsic value of every individual and item is acknowledged and celebrated, fostering a culture of sharing, repurposing, and redistributing resources to uplift those in need and minimize waste.
Established in 2002, Wabi Sabi has been a cornerstone of economic stimulation and philanthropic support in Moab City and Grand County for over two decades. Having contributed nearly $2 million back to the community and local nonprofits, we’ve supported nearly 60 jobs in Grand County in 2023 alone. Our focus extends to various areas including family resources, healthcare, education, economic self-reliance, aiding the homeless, and cultural enrichment, with a commitment to supporting youth initiatives.
By diverting 120,000 pounds of stuff from the landfill, other nonprofits in town receive funding from us such as Beacon After School, Canyonland Field Institute, Grand Area Mentoring, Mindfulness in Education, Moab Free Health Clinic, Moab Solutions, Moab Valley Cultural Center, and Youth Garden Project. In the last year alone, our efforts have resulted in $22,320 in Non-Profit Partner Awards, 741 Thanksgiving Meals served to community members in need, and the recycling of 70,000 pounds of textiles, among other contributions.
To continue our mission and contribute further to job creation, we require a dedicated commercial space of at least 8,500 square feet. We invite the Hermanowski Foundation to be a part of sustaining our 20-year legacy of community support, education, and environmental stewardship through responsible consumerism. Your support of $5,000 towards our general operating expenses will aid us in giving back to the community. Thank you for considering our proposal and for your continued commitment to serving the community.
