Maisa Space recently passed a meaningful milestone: together, subscribers raised over $2,500 for charitable giving in 2025, and through the Maisa Space Donor Advised Fund (DAF) we granted $500 each to five organizations working in mental health, family support, and environmental stewardship. We are deeply grateful for this community’s support and helping keep so much content open and available. Just like the magi in Samia’s recent epic post we came bearing gifts; golden takes, frank sense, and remain ever so demyrr.
Youth Mental Wellness Alliance
Youth Mental Wellness Alliance (You.Me.We.All) is a parent-led nonprofit that serves as a community resource hub advancing initiatives that support the mental wellness of youth in schools and homes. Through partnerships among families, youth, educators, mental health professionals, and community members, they focus on empowering families with evidence-based resources, meaningful engagement, and collaborative solutions to improve student well-being.
Keira Bradley Foundation
The Keira Bradley Foundation (Live Like Keira) is a nonprofit created to carry forward Keira Bradley’s legacy of caring for children and families in need. Its mission is to provide heartfelt support through material items, financial assistance, and mental health resources, inspired by Keira’s passion for helping others live fully and with hope.
The Speedy Foundation
The Speedy Foundation is dedicated to preventing suicide and ending the stigma around mental health challenges through advocacy, education, and open conversations. Rooted in the legacy of three-time Olympian Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, the organization offers training, community workshops, and resources that equip teens, athletes, and community members to recognize warning signs and connect people to help.
DarkSky International
DarkSky International (formerly the International Dark-Sky Association) is a global nonprofit focused on protecting the night sky and reducing light pollution for present and future generations. By promoting responsible outdoor lighting, education, and advocacy, DarkSky works to preserve natural darkness, safeguard ecosystems, and ensure that more communities can experience star-filled skies.
Endurant Movement
EndurANT Movement was created by parents in honor of their son, Anthony (“Ant”), whose life and loss now guide the organization’s mission. The nonprofit supports grief healing, mental health, autism awareness, and suicide prevention by helping individuals and families transform pain into purpose through community, storytelling, and post-traumatic growth. Rooted in love, compassion, and spirituality, EndurANT bridges the often-separate conversations around autism and mental health, working to ensure that neurodivergent individuals and those who love them do not suffer alone.
Gratitude to the Maisa Space Community
These gifts were only possible because of the generosity of Maisa Space subscribers and the flexibility of the Maisa Space DAF to channel those contributions into impactful work. Thank you for helping support youth mental health, vulnerable families, autism and suicide awareness, and the protection of our shared night sky. Your care and contribution extends far beyond this space.
This is so awesome to hear! Love you Samia!
