Project Title: Sensory Friendly Saturday Program for children with special needs, autism and developmental disabilities
Project Description:

Miami Children’s Museum opens its doors early every second Saturday of each month from 9 am -11 am to provide sensory-friendly programming for children with special needs and autism at a reduced admission cost. The Museum can be loud and intimidating to children with special needs and autism so in July 2012, we created the Sensory-Friendly Saturday program to enable children with autism and special needs to explore the Museum in a sensory-friendly environment without large crowds. During the program, the Museum’s lights and sounds are lowered and attendance is limited so that the multi-sensory, interactive exhibits, which invite children to touch, explore and create, are adjusted to sensory-friendly levels with modified lighting and sound adjustments. Children, who may not be able to visit the Museum during regular hours when the noise and lighting may be overwhelming, have the opportunity to engage in arts-based educational programming, creative performances and imaginative play that helps develop social skills, oral language, communication skills and self-expression. Special programming includes yoga, art and music therapy plus a Snoezelen Room, a controlled multisensory environment used to provide therapy for people with autism and other developmental disabilities that opened in March 2018. “Cool-down” rooms for children to relax in if they need a break are provided. Guests RSVP to receive pre-visit materials including an illustrated social story guide and color-coded sound level map to help caregivers familiarize themselves with the Museum and structure their visit according to their child’s needs. Families also have the opportunity to network and leverage the expertise of specialists who provide special programming, including a speech pathologist and occupational therapist. A grant from The Hermanowski Family Foundation would provide vital support to this program which provides important resource to families in South Florida with children with autism and with special needs.

Project Title: Act4Me!
Project Description:

Founded in 2009, Act4Me is Miami-Dade County’s (MDC) only nonprofit with a mission to help families experiencing inequalities in access to care, providing grants dedicated to ensuring that children with special needs participate in transformational physical, speech, occupational, and orientation and mobility therapies, helping them reach their full potential.

There are over 600 pediatric neurological disorders in the U.S. (e.g., Epilepsy, Autism and Cerebral Palsy), most of which cause physical and cognitive disabilities and developmental delays. MDC is home to 75,000 children with unmet physical, occupational and speech therapy needs. Despite efforts toward universal healthcare, 22% of children with emotional, behavioral and developmental issues do not have appropriate health care coverage, life altering for a child with a disability; 43.6% do not receive effective care coordination and 24.5% experience problems in getting needed referrals.

Act4Me develops pathways to opportunity for children, typically ages 5 to 17, with severe disabilities and developmental challenges so that they can benefit equitably and thrive by functioning as an insurance provider for low-income families who are not eligible for Medicaid or whose private insurance denies the child partial or full coverage for therapy. Act4Me negotiates the Medicaid subsidized rate of $71.44 per hour with high-quality therapy clinics, rehabilitation centers and hospitals. Program enrollment is based upon family income and the child’s diagnosis, with priority given to low-income families and children with severe disabilities in critical need of therapy. Typically a child served by Act4Me has been without therapy for six to 12 months upon program enrollment, resulting in the regression of quality of life. Participants are fostered immediate access to therapy, delivered in one-hour or two, half-hour sessions once per week for one year from program enrollment, with the option to reapply at the end of the year depending upon the achievement of developmental milestones.

Project Title: Provide Trained CASA Volunteers for 280 Abused and Neglected Children in FY19
Project Description:

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the most serious health problem we have in the U.S. is the complex trauma caused by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Without intervention, childhood abuse and neglect can lead to improper brain development, impaired learning, and anxiety. It can trigger a higher risk for heart, lung, and liver diseases as well as obesity, cancer, and high blood pressure. Absent effective trauma-informed treatment, victimized children are less likely to obtain gainful employment when they grow up, more likely to get in trouble with the law and, tragically, more likely to perpetuate the cycle of abuse and neglect with their own children.

Our Volunteers actively promote the intervention these young victims need. They are well trained to assist the court and child welfare system in ensuring safety, appropriate placement, and the services necessary to ensure physical health, mental health, and educational stability.

Because they are not impeded by jurisdictional boundaries, PCASA Volunteers are able to stay with children throughout the life of a case. This ensures that when service providers, placements, and schools change, our Volunteer provides continuity and stability for the child as well as maintaining and sharing pertinent case history with new social workers, caregivers, and service providers. Moreover, many team members involved with a child abuse and neglect case work with only one aspect of the family situation. A CASA Volunteer compiles all of the information and presents it to the judge in a comprehensive report with fact-based recommendations as to the child’s best interests.

Research shows that children with CASA Volunteers spend less time in foster care, experience fewer out-of-home placements, and have improved educational performance. Local judges value this work so highly that they refer 100% of child abuse and neglect cases brought before them to Piedmont CASA.

Project Title: DREAM
Project Description:

DREAM, founded in 2005, is an award-winning program that seeks to level the playing field for children and teenagers living in high-poverty D.C. neighborhoods by providing access to the highest-quality dance training, supports and services to ensure achievement in school, and resources needed for successful transitions to adulthood. These goals are achieved through the DREAM Center for Dance, providing a comprehensive tuition-free dance program integrated with wrap-around academic, college readiness, and family services for grades 3-12; and DREAM Connections, providing free after-school dance classes and in-school performances at eleven D.C. public and charter schools for grades 3-5.
Our program model addresses the needs of the whole child through a 10-year journey (grades 3-12) with the goals that students graduate from high-school, enroll in college, and are equipped with the tools and skills necessary to pursue their full potential. These goals are achieved through the following four core program elements:
– Dance Education and Performance are the core transformational elements through which our youth develop the ability to reach their full potential.
– Academic Services provide early and consistent academic intervention to ensure on-time high school graduation and college-readiness.
– College Readiness (grades 8-12) removes barriers to college access including programs that prepare parents/guardians to support their child’s path through college logistically, financially, and emotionally.
– Family Engagement and Support Services focus on the well-being of each youth in their individual family context.
With a dedicated team of professional teaching artists and experienced social services staff, these four program areas are integrated into an individual case management approach. We work closely with families, school administrators, and counselors to ensure that the many facets of a student’s life are coordinated holistically.

Project Title: Education Morning School Tours for K-12 for the “Imagining Florida” exhibition
Project Description:

We respectfully request funding in support of our Education Morning school tour offerings for students K-12 through the run of “Imagining Florida”, an exhibition of statewide importance that explores Florida’s people, places, flora, and fauna through paintings, drawings, photographs, maps, and objects of material culture from significant collections nationwide and throughout our State.

“Imagining Florida” focuses on Florida’s own artistic heritage, from a wild and uncultivated land, to frontier and military outposts, to burgeoning cities and metropolitan areas. It celebrates Florida’s diversity, creative spirit, and artistic legacy, while encouraging a sense of unity and understanding. This is especially significant to be shared with our youngest citizens, as they will inherit the custody of our community and our State’s unique and fragile environs.

Throughout the exhibition (November 2018-March 2019), we anticipate fulfilling 160 K-12 school tours of 60 students each with programming themed to complement each grade’s curriculum with object-based learning. Students experience a docent-guided tour of the Museum to explore an artistic theme in detail. Approximately half of these tours will include an enriching hands-on art experience in which professional artists guide students through a studio workshop where they create their own work of art. Each touring class receives a pre and post survey and activity ideas to supplement their Museum visit. Education Morning school tours will take place Tuesday-Friday, providing 9,600 students with quality arts experience.

Qualifications:
The BRMA is one of 25 institutions approved as a field trip provider by the Palm Beach County School District. Recently, the BRMA was recognized by the School District for its contributions to area students, teachers, staff, and families, and received the Gold Medalist Award for Outstanding Business Partner Not-For-Profit category. In addition, the BRMA received the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County’s 2018 “LIMAN” MUSE AWARD for Excellence in Art Education.

Project Title: Sexual Assault Prevention Education for Middle and High School Students
Project Description:

The Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA), located in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a stand-alone rape crisis center which provides direct services to survivors and outreach to the community. SARA also has a strong primary prevention education program. We are currently working with 6 area high schools and 5 area middle schools and reached nearly 10,000 people during the 2016-2017 school year. SARA has created a prevention curriculum that targets kids in grades 5 through 10, providing multiple sessions to each grade throughout the year. Our curriculum is evidence-informed and reevaluated every year and is tailored to fit the needs and culture of each school. Through these services, SARA prevention staff trains middle- and high-school aged adolescents to more easily identify instances of sexual harassment and provides bystander intervention training which enables students to step in when they see a problem.

SARA’s prevention program, by targeting middle- and high-school aged students, is uniquely qualified to provide services to high-need and underserved populations. Nearly 38% of Albemarle County students and 51% of Charlottesville City students do not identify as white or Caucasian. Eleven percent of Albemarle County students and 13% of Charlottesville City students have a disability. Ten percent of both county and city school students are ESL students. Our program is inclusive, and we seek to unite historically segregated groups as much as possible and emphasize community responsibility in stopping sexual violence. Not only do students learn gender equality, openness, and fluidity, but the empathy-focused bystander intervention training also empowers students to help prevent other kinds of violence, including those that are ethnic or racially-based.

Federal funding, administered by the Virginia Department of Health, funds approximately 60% of our budget for prevention education. We rely on other grants and fundraising efforts to support the remainder of the program.

Project Title: Postsecondary Initiative (PSI)
Project Description:

College Now is the nation’s first and Ohio’s largest college access organization, celebrating 50 years of service this year. Our mission is to increase postsecondary educational attainment in Greater Cleveland through college and career access advising, financial aid counseling, and scholarship and retention services.

Our Postsecondary Initiative (PSI) combines best-in-practice, school-based and community-based services that help students from low-income backgrounds gain access to and complete college.

As a result of our school-based college and career access advising services that help students achieve college-going milestones, students matriculate to college at an average 60% rate. Nationwide, just 52% of students from high poverty high schools enrolled in college in 2017 upon high school graduation (National Student Clearinghouse, or NSC, 2017).

In total for the 2016-17 academic year, we awarded $2.3 million in 1,100 4-year renewable scholarship awards to traditional students with high financial need and academic merit. Separate from this scholarship support, students garnered another $24.3 million in financial support (grants, scholarships, student financial aid) thanks to our student financial aid counseling services that help students locate, apply for, secure and maximize aid.

Awardees graduated from college in 2017 at 72% (NSC, 2017), a rate significantly higher than the national rate among students with federal Pell Grants (42%) (National College Access Network, 2017).

This high graduation rate can be attributed largely to the ongoing financial support afforded by our renewable scholarships and to our retention services, which includes our Mentoring Program. Launched in 2011-2012, our innovative online Mentoring Program has exceeded our expectations; we are nearing our ambitious 80% graduation rate goal. Program participation is now a scholarship requirement. The program pairs each student with a personal, volunteer mentor as they transition from high school to college. Pairs commit to a minimum 4-year relationship and mentors hail from 400 local companies.

Project Title: Family Resource Center
Project Description:

Since 2013, Miami-Dade County (MDC) has conducted a point-in-time count of sheltered/unsheltered youth (iCount), annually modifying the methodology to improve the count’s accuracy; many unaccompanied youth (UY) experiencing housing instability do not associate their living situation with homelessness. MDC experienced a 154% increase in the number of students identified as homeless from 2007-08 to the 2015-16 school year, totaling 6,103 (8% were UY, though this is generally understood to be an undercount as many UY couch surf between temporary living situations and avoid self-identifying as homeless for fear of being placed in foster care or returned to an abusive home). The needs of this population are vast, with UY facing devastating harm and barriers in life, all of which hinder their ability to re-assimilate into society and become independent, successful and contributing members of their community.

In MDC’s Homeless Continuum of Care there are only 110 emergency shelter beds for UY (62 are for youth over 18, 48 are for youth under 18). As MDC’s largest provider of emergency housing, Chapman Partnership will expand its evidence-based homeless assistance model establishing the Harvard House, a 24-bed dorm for youth ages 15 to 24 not in the custody of a parent/legal guardian. As with all Chapman Partnership residents, Harvard House “Frats” will be referred by the Homeless Trust’s Coordinated Outreach, Assessment & Placement process. Guided by a Positive Youth Development approach, Harvard House will offer trauma-informed services inclusive of stable housing not limited by HUD time constraints; onsite holistic well-being care including medical, dental and psychiatric services; sustainable education, job training and employment opportunities availed through onsite Job Developers and Education Coordinators; intensive case management; housing assistance provided by onsite Housing Developers maintaining relationships with over 100 landlords from an in-house housing inventory; and follow-up case management supporting independent living.

Today’s Date: March 28, 2018
Requested Amount: $10,000

Project Title: 2018-2019 Hermanowski Family Foundation Fellowship
Project Description:

In 2018-2019 it will cost BRYC approximately $4,000 to support each of its 250 Fellows. However, it will cost approximately $5,000 to support each Senior Fellow, as there are many unique costs BRYC incurs in its effort to guide each Senior through the college application, financial aid, and college transition processes. That it costs more to support Senior Fellows reflects BRYC’s commitment to removing all roadblocks in their paths to college success.

BRYC’s “Fellowship Campaign” is an annual effort to identify a $5,000 sponsor each of our Senior Fellows. We humbly request that the Hermanowski Family Foundation supports two BRYC “Fellowships” by making a $10,000 contribution to sponsor two Seniors during the 2018-2019 school year. These funds would enable BRYC to provide resources and supports to two Senior Fellows that include but are not limited to:

• 1:1 mentorship throughout the college application and financial aid processes
• 1:1 essay writing support
• 40-hour ACT preparation program
• 50:1 student-to-college counselor ratio
• 1:1 tutoring in all subjects
• Coverage of all college application and ACT-related fees
• Coverage of college orientation fees and other transitional expenses
• College tours in Georgia, North Carolina, and New Orleans
• Three-day Empowerment Retreat
• Preparation for the academic, social, and financial transitions to college
• Regular check-ins once student is in college
• A supportive community of motivated peers, and a team of highly-qualified, caring adults

The Fellowship Campaign culminates in June with the Fellowship Banquet, an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our Seniors and their families, recognize our dedicated staff and volunteers, and thank profusely the sponsors who make BRYC’s work possible. If our request is funded, we hope that one or more representatives from the Hermanowski Family Foundation would be able to join us for this joyous affair. We thank the Foundation in advance for its consideration of our request.

Total Project Budget: $10,000

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): The project for which we seek support from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will take place during Fiscal Year 2019 (2018-2019 school year). As such, most of the funding listed below is technically pending. However, given BRYC’s 95 percent donor retention rate, we are confident that most, if not all, of these funders will renew their financial support. Finally please not that this is not a comprehensive projection of BRYC’s Fiscal Year 2019 income sources but rather a projection of just the funders who we expect to support the Fellowship Campaign, specifically. As ever, we will continue to aggressively pursue new sources of income as the fiscal year continues.

Project Title: Early Childhood Education
Project Description:

Florence Fuller Child Development Centers (FFCDC) mission is to make a difference through education for economically challenged children and families to build a positive future in our community. FFCDC provides early childhood education and after school, holiday and summer camp programs for more than 800 disadvantaged children in Southern Palm Beach County.

While perceived as being a wealthy community 98% percent of the children attending FFCDC in East and West Boca Raton live at or below the Federal Poverty Guideline Our main priority is to help ensure that disadvantaged children are provided with an educational foundation they can build on to achieve future success and reverse the cycle of poverty.

Already disadvantaged by their environment, children living in poverty hear 30 million words less by the age of 4 then children living in higher-income families. By age five, less than half of children growing up in families that are low income are ready for school compared to 75% of children raised in higher income families. Our goal is to change this trajectory for our low income children by enabling them to acquire the skills necessary to enter kindergarten prepared.

FFCDC’s Early Childhood Education’s holistic curriculum places emphasis on school readiness in language, literacy, math and science. It encompassing all developmental areas to prepare young children six weeks to 5 years old to achieve emotional, developmental and academic
milestones geared toward lifelong learning. All program activities are inclusive of children with disabilities.

92% of our children graduate kindergarten ready and achieve outstanding outcomes in all areas assessed. This is only possible through the support of community partners who believe in the social investment and in making a difference for those who count on us.
