Mission Statement
GOTO enriches the lives of promising, underprivileged children by immersing them in art and music. This effort is complemented by a series of initiatives that encourage philanthropic awareness among young professionals.
Description
Giving Opportunities To Others is an all-volunteer organization that enables talented and promising low-income New York City school children to spend a portion of their summers in sleep-away camps that focus on art and music education. This vision is supported by a variety of individual and corporate partnerships. Additionally, GOTO organizes high profile benefits that serve the dual purpose of raising funds for the GOTO scholarships while increasing philanthropic awareness and leadership abilities among young professionals, aged 21-35
GOTO believes in:
- the importance of the arts in children's lives... and we recognize today's lack of funding for youth arts programs
- The transformative power of the summer camp experience
- Young adults' willingness, ability, and right to lead
- An entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy
- The power of the "ask" - resources await our energy and direction
