Supporting underfunded public schools
and community programs
About The Penguin Fund
Pottery isn't just an art — it’s a medium for creativity, self-expression, and healing. Yet, many schools and community programs lack the resources to offer ceramics classes.
At Penguin Pottery, we believe every student should have the opportunity to experience the joy of working with their hands, shaping ideas into reality, and discovering the magic of fire and form.
Our goal is simple: help bring the world of pottery into communities who need it the most.
Our Mission
The Penguin Fund is Penguin Pottery's commitment to the future of ceramics. We donate 1% of sales to underfunded public schools and community programs across the U.S. that need support for their ceramics classes.
Our Focus
We focus on underserved schools and nonprofit community art centers where budget cuts have limited access to the arts. Today, more than ever, teachers need all the help they can get.
Who We Support
We partner with art teachers, community studios, and nonprofit educators who are passionate about ceramics and committed to equitable access. Programs are selected twice a year through a simple application and nomination process.
