Fortnight: The Season of Thanks & Giving — Day 3
Welcome to Fortnight: The Season of Thanks & Giving, The Haiku Foundation’s annual fundraising drive, lasting from Thanksgiving to Saint Nicholas Day. During this period, we post daily special presentations highlighting the work we accomplished in the past year to thank our generous patrons. Each day of the fundraiser, we will offer a new set of highlights from 2025.
The Haiku Foundation is funded in its entirety by community donations. Will you help by contributing?
