Where our proceeds go...
The Waterlily Project is dedicated to creating "art for art's sake" and donating 100% of our proceeds to charities and organizations that align with our core values. Our creative collaborators generously contribute their time, energy, and talent to produce the art we share. Proceeds from our online premiere were donated to the Sheffield Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre, while our bonus short music film, entitled "Shanti hOMe," encourages donations to the Black Lives Matter organization. Additionally, the proceeds from our Toronto screening were donated to The First Nations Child and Family Caring Society. Our upcoming 5th anniversary screening will donate proceeds to Waterloo Region's YWCA We wholeheartedly support the work of these organizations in uplifting, educating, and assisting communities toward healing and equality. If you feel inspired and have the means to donate directly to either organization after viewing our work, we would be immensely grateful.
