Annual Fund 2025
At the Donkey Mill, we believe that art is life—and life is art. Every day, creativity weaves its way across campus, transforming each of us: keiki gain confidence and find their voices through art, music, and dance; adults and kūpuna reconnect with their roots and uncover new parts of themselves through artistic expression; workshops offer space to learn, reflect, and create; and exhibitions and cultural events unite us through shared stories and diverse voices, all strengthening the bonds that make us a community.
Creativity isn’t separate from life—it is life. Be part of the Mill’s story.
