Giving Back Through Art
together, we make a difference
Here’s how we rise together to uplift animals, children, and women worldwide:
Lost Dog & Cat Foundation
Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation is a lifeline for homeless pets, dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals in need. Since 2001, this predominantly volunteer-driven organization has saved the lives of over 45,000 pets, many of whom were at risk of euthanasia in overcrowded shelters.
This cause is deeply personal to Erica—it’s thanks to this incredible organization that she met her cherished cat, Rasmus, in 2011.
Studio Eriksdotter is a monthly supporter.
Together Rising
Together Rising turned heartache into global action for 12 years where strangers came together and donated to particular time-sensitive needs. It could be providing a single mother access to breast cancer treatment or paying for legal help for the 60 children torn from their parents on the U.S. boarder.
Studio Eriksdotter was a monthly supporter.
Knock Out Abuse Against Women
Knock Out Abuse is a vital nonprofit organization benefiting victims of domestic violence at the House of Ruth in Washington, DC., Bethany House in Falls Church, Virginia, and the Crossroads Community in Maryland. Founded in 1993, Knock Out Abuse has raised more than $11 million to provide transformational support to more than 30,000 women and children.
Erica has proudly supported this incredible mission for many years, donating her time and talent by contributing commissions and artwork to their silent auctions.
