$587,500 Gift to Moving in the Spirit

The Chestnut Family Foundation has made a gift of $587,500 to Moving in the Spirit. The donation will be used to expand the size and scope of services, deepen the experience of its students, and strengthen the sustainability of the organization.

Moving in the Spirit uses dance as a medium to teach young people the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need to thrive. Through programs that integrate high-quality dance instruction with performance, leadership, and mentor opportunities, Moving in the Spirit impacts 250 children and teens annually in Atlanta, GA, encouraging them to overcome the obstacles they face each day and realize their highest potential. Moving in the Spirit seeks to develop its students to be confident, resilient, compassionate leaders, poised to succeed beyond the stage, and make a difference in their communities.

We are delighted to continue our partnership with Moving in the Spirit as it continues to grow and increase the impact of its programs on our community.
