Our Programs
Turning Love Into Action. Creating Hope for Tomorrow.
The Aryanna Frye Foundation was created to carry Aryanna’s memory forward through meaningful programs centered on mental health awareness, suicide prevention, creativity, education, and community support.
Our programs are inspired by the things that mattered to Aryanna, the dreams she carried, and the difference we hope to make in the lives of others.
As a newly established foundation, several of these programs are currently being developed. As funding and community partnerships grow, we hope to bring each initiative to life thoughtfully and responsibly.
THE ARYANNA HOPE FUND
Providing support when someone needs it most.
The Aryanna Hope Fund is being developed to support individuals and families affected by mental-health challenges and suicide.
Our vision is to help connect people with resources, support mental-health and suicide-prevention efforts, and provide meaningful assistance within our community as funding and partnerships allow.
At the heart of this program is a simple message:
You matter. You are enough. You are not alone.

THE ARYANNA DREAM SCHOLARSHIP
Helping someone take the next step toward their dream.
Aryanna had dreams of her own, including publishing her poetry and attending esthetician school. The Aryanna Dream Scholarship is being created in her memory to help others pursue dreams and opportunities that matter to them.
As this program develops, we hope to provide scholarships for education, vocational and trade programs, certifications, training, and other opportunities that help recipients build a future they are passionate about.
Through every future scholarship, a piece of Aryanna’s dreams can continue by helping someone else pursue theirs.
Scholarship awards generally range from $1,000 to $2,500 and are available to eligible young people ages 16-25 throughout the United States.

THE ARYANNA CREATIVE FUND
Because creativity can give us a voice when words are hard to find.
Aryanna was deeply creative. She loved photography, poetry, music, beauty, and expressing herself in ways that were uniquely her own.
The Aryanna Creative Fund is being developed to encourage creativity and self-expression. Future opportunities may include support for art and photography supplies, creative workshops, equipment, grants, scholarships, and creative or publishing projects.
Through this program, we hope to give young people and others in our community opportunities to discover their creativity, express themselves, and recognize the value of their own voice.

ARYANNA’S WORDS
Her words. Her voice. Her legacy.
Aryanna wrote poetry, and one of the foundation’s first special projects is preserving her writing with the goal of sharing and publishing her work.
Aryanna’s Words honors her creativity and gives her voice a way to continue reaching others.
As the foundation grows, we hope this initiative can also create opportunities for young writers and artists to express themselves, share their stories, and discover the power of their own creative voices.

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE
The Aryanna Frye Foundation was born from one life, but we hope the good created in Aryanna’s name will reach many others.
As the foundation grows, we hope to develop community partnerships and additional initiatives, including efforts supporting animals, shelters, rescues, veterinary care, and adoption — another way of honoring Aryanna and the things she loved.
Every program we create will share the same purpose:
Turning love into action. Creating hope. Reminding people that they matter.
