Donations
With your help, J Positive has donated thousands of dollars to charity!
We are pleased to be able to give back to the wonderful organizations that have played an important role in shaping Joel into the remarkable young man he is today, and who help countless other amazing humans just like him.
All of these institutions do an amazing job of providing a welcoming, challenging, and educational space for individuals with developmental disabilities. They also provide a very special social environment for individuals who very often have limited opportunity for social interactions. They are crucial in providing opportunities for development, a sense of belonging, and pride in one's accomplishments.
In 2025 10% of all Art By J Positive proceeds, and 100% of any donation you make, will be shared between these fantastic organizations:
-
BEING studio supports artists with developmental disabilities who are working in visual art and creative writing. Joel has attended BEING for many years which has helped nurture his artistic expression.
-
Camp Misquah provides a wonderful residential camping experience for adults and children with special needs. Joel has attended Camp Misquah since 2011.
-
The Capital City Condors are a family of ice hockey teams for those who are unable to play on any other hockey team due to a cognitive and/or physical disability. Joel has been a proud Condor since 2010.
In 2025 we also made these additional donations:
-
Joel is excited to participate in the book launch for "The Race to the Starting Line" by Max Brault, a must read book on accessibility. Joel is auctioning off a signed canvas print, with 100% of proceeds being donated to the organizations above.
-
Joel helps fundraise for many organizations, so please reach out to info@artbyjpositive.com if you have a request!
-
100% of proceeds from the J Positive "Happy Love" collection are donated to the Canadian Down Syndrome Society.
Thank you for your generous support. 🙏
