Disabled artists across the United States that qualify financially (Hartists), are center to dAFi. Disabled Artists Foundation, Inc (dAFi) supports their well-being by providing Hartists free art supplies and training every month, while following our Seven Core Values.
These Seven Core Values provide a roadmap and guide for our actions. The HARTISTs are CENTRIC to our program and the focus of our mission. INTEGRITY is woven into every aspect of our actions. The well-being of Hartists are ENERGIZEd through our programs and connections. CREATIVITY is integral in our environment by providing all who are connected to our programs new and exciting challenges that keep us all growing together. COMPASSION to and among Hartists and Angels is key to working within this diverse community. dAFi reaches beyond our members, Angels, and Hartists with a goal to ensure we embrace this diversity as a strength. We support these strengths with INCLUSIVEness at every level of our foundation providing a safe place for differences and to promote health and wellness well beyond the grasp of our foundation. Our Hartists and Angels feel safe within our program because we are DISCREET and protect their privacy rights; we expect all who are connected to this foundation to uphold this key value.
