What We’ve Achieved So Far
Prior to the formation of our 501c3, in June of 2024, we hosted the first annual India Love Sunflower Film & Music festival comprising musicians and films from around the country, with a roster of stories demonstrating hope and resilience.
Stay tuned for much more to come in 2025!
Our mission thrives on the support of compassionate individuals like you—whether in our local community, across the region, or around the world. Together, we can create meaningful change.

June 2024: The First Annual India Love Sunflower Festival:
Sunflowers are hyperaccumulators—plants that have adapted to thrive in environments with high concentrations of toxic materials.
Sunflower Fest celebrates creativity’s ability to flourish and give back truth and beauty, even as it absorbs and faces up to the destructive elements of the cultures from which it arises.
Through Sunflower Film Fest, we continue to honor India Summer Deibler-Love’s mission and vision of creating inclusive, nurturing spaces that bring community of all walks of life together for positive experience through art, music, and great coffee & wine.
