Urgent: Help Save the Heart of Creative Education
5 Days. $50,000. A Mission that Cannot End.
For over two decades, Stage for Kids Global has operated with a single, unwavering heartbeat: accessibility. We have functioned as a semi-non-profit, keeping our fees low to ensure that every child—regardless of background—can experience the transformative power of the arts, drama, and character development.
From community service projects to year-round enrichment, we have poured everything into the children of our world.
The Hard Truth
Since 2024, we have been fighting a quiet, uphill battle. In a society that often overlooks the critical value of arts and education support, our attempts to secure traditional funding have failed.
Today, we are at a breaking point.
We have failed to secure the funding that we worked hard for; putting a pause to the already good work we are and were planning to do. Our next – final – step – is to now transition into a charity focusing on work with children and adults through art education in South East Asia. But we need help for that to happen. We first need to step out of the red, and – in all honesty – we need a short break – from the challenges. After a month, we will begin our journey to become a charity.
Please help us this goal.
We have between 5 days to 10 days to raise $50,000. This is not just a number; it is the “oxygen” we need to clear our debts, keep our doors open, and give our team the room to breathe. We cannot allow a two-decade-old education provider to close without a fight. Not Stage for Kids. Not for the years of work we have done for children, families, schools, and the communities.
The Roadmap: Our Plan for Recovery & Impact
We aren’t just asking for money; we are asking you to fund a structured plan for a better future. Once we achieve our target, we will follow this immediate schedule:
Week 1: Financial Clearance. We will immediately settle our outstanding “reds” to stabilize the organization.
The Month of Regrouping: After two years of intense struggle, our team will take a one-month breather. This short break is essential to reorganize our minds, bodies, and souls so we can return with the energy the children deserve.
The Transition: Following our regrouping, we will proceed with formal applications to transform Stage for Kids into a full-status Charity for Arts Education.
Our Ongoing Commitment to the Children
Open Art Space (Singapore): We will transform our office into an Open Art Space Classroom, running free weekend classes for families from disadvantaged communities.
SE Asia Charity Initiative: We will launch Arts Education Camps for 5 charity organizations across South East Asia.
Performance Outreach: Teacher Emil Antoan will pivot to creating dedicated performances for children in shelters and charities.
