Giving Gratitude This Season

On behalf of the entire We Uplift The World Foundation, we extend our deepest gratitude for your ongoing generosity and belief in our mission. Your support has been instrumental in empowering young creators and fostering positive change through media and technology education.

We are thrilled to share exciting updates on our recent achievements and new initiatives that will further amplify our impact:


Empowering Young Filmmakers:

Our talented students in Los Angeles have been hard at work producing inspiring films and artist documentaries, including our current film project featuring legendary artist Kenny Scharf. These films not only showcase their creative skills but also provide artists with invaluable hands-on experience. We are incredibly proud to share that many of our students have been accepted into collegiate film schools and are pursuing their passions professionally.


To continue providing these transformative opportunities, we are launching a new fundraiser dedicated to supporting our Youth Artist Documentary Film Projects. Your contribution will directly fund mentorships, training, software, and post-production resources, ensuring these young filmmakers have the tools to tell their stories and share their unique perspectives with the world.




Igniting Purpose and Passion:

We are also excited to announce a new initiative focused on inspiring purpose and passion in young creative entrepreneurs. We will be donating copies of What Is My Why? How You Can Use Ikigai To Clarify Your Purpose by Bijan Machen to high schools and colleges worldwide. This powerful book guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, helping them identify their passions and live a more fulfilling life.


We are thrilled to announce the WUTW Book Endowment, a dedicated effort to provide 1,000,000 creative entrepreneurs with guidance and inspiration to live more purposeful lives. Our journey starts with a $50,000 fundraising campaign throughout 2025. The first book to be distributed is "What Is My Why? How You Can Use Ikigai To Clarify Your Purpose" by our Founder, Bijan Machen. This thought-provoking book leads readers on a path of self-discovery, helping them identify their passions, define their values, and ensure their actions align with their true selves.


Your impact:

  • $40: Provides one signed hardcover book, including shipping, to a young creative.

  • $1,000: Provides 25 books to inspire an entire classroom or youth group!

  • $5,000: Empowers 125 young people with the tools to discover their "why."

  • $10,000: Ignites purpose in 250 aspiring artists, fueling their dreams and passions.


Spread the word: Share this fundraiser with your friends, family, and colleagues. Every dollar makes a difference!


You can join us in this effort by donating 50, 100, 300, or more books to your alma mater or a school of your choice.


Imagine the impact of empowering the next generation of creative leaders with the tools to discover their purpose and pursue their dreams. Let's make this Giving Tuesday a day of purpose and empowerment for young creatives everywhere!
