Project Title: Mental Health H.E.L.P.S
Project Description:

For every person in the US that dies from suicide, twice as many lives are lost in Utah. Good Deed Revolution is on a mission to create innovative media for mental health and suicide prevention to decrease suicides in Utah, end the stigma around mental health, and fill the need for new media resources that are not being created elsewhere.
Our media will help our community break down the mental health and suicide stigmas and start having conversations about what is happening. Ultimately, we hope to help reduce the suicide rate by 2%. By preventing just 2% of the suicide attempts we could save a total of 4,380 lives a year.
In 2022, we will focus our efforts on the following projects
1. A 90-minute Comedy Show called ‘Dying to Laugh’: Comedy may seem an odd avenue, but studies have shown that laughter changes the brain by altering dopamine and serotonin activity, elevating moods. 75% of comedians struggle with depression. The show will highlight comedians who get real as they talk about depression in an entertaining and enlightening way.
2. Our Podcast & Video Series: will address mental health in an authentic, informative manner and will feature leading experts in the field, and guests with a first-hand experience. Stories can break down the stigma of talking about mental health needs and thoughts of suicide.
3. PSA Commercials: Young people often prefer to seek help from their peers. Who better to talk about teen suicide than teens themselves? The winners of a statewide competition for students will get a $1,000 scholarship in addition to their videos being broadcast on all major Utah TV stations and social media platforms.

Project Title: Navajo Nation Humanitarian Mission
Project Description:

Since 2012, our Building Youth Around the World (BYAW) foundation has partnered annually with tribal community leaders on various Utah based Indian Reservations to help bring much needed services, clothes, books, humanitarian kits and food to members residing on the reservations
This need has only been aggravated and compounded by the COVID19 pandemic that began in 2020. Indian Country was hit hard. Living conditions made the disease hard to control. 40% of households lack proper and reliable running water to wash hands regularly and it is harder to isolate in a community where multi-generational families are common.
Families that were already struggling have been hard hit by a loss of jobs, a growing lack of resources, and a depleting supply of food.
This year we will focus our efforts on three reservation areas on the Navajo Nation. We hope to impact 640+ individuals in Montezuma Creek, Aneth, and White Mesa.
Throughout 2022, we will be working directly with community leaders to identify and fulfil these needs:
1. Provide much needed nonperishable food items for families each month in the impoverished communities of Montezuma Creek, Aneth, and White Mesa.
2. Equip schools and homes with books and workbooks to help the children get the needed practice to improve their reading skills and grade levels.
3. Fulfill much needed food, clothing, and other school/hygiene/medical needs of the residents of the Navajo Nation in Utah.
4. Donate Thanksgiving boxes filled with food and essentials for 130+ families that will last 1 to 2 months.
5. Install Pellet furnaces in the homes of tribal members whose propane tanks have started leaking and causing health issues.
6. Donate 10,000+ pounds in non-perishable and canned foods for the Tribal pantries that will help families in need over the year.

Project Title: Catch The Vision
Project Description:

Eye Care 4 Kids is committed to serve communities in need and especially children in need. With all the other challenges facing low income communities and children, Eye Care 4 Kids wants to do its part to bridge the vision care gap and give our children an equal opportunity to excel in the classroom.

The completion of this project has the capacity to transform the lives of hundreds of children and their families. With your support, we can make the difference needed

Through our six clinics in Salt Lake-Midvale (Utah); Las Vegas (Nevada), Phoenix (Arizona), and New Jersey and 3 Mobile “SEE-MORE” Clinics which visit the indian reservations, schools and rural areas, Eye Care 4 Kids serve provides comprehensive care for almost 35,000 children who are uninsured, underinsured, or can’t afford to visit the eye doctor or purchase prescription glasses.

Given high unemployment and loss of health insurance due to COVID-19 and long hours of screen time in virtual learning also threatening the health of our children’s eyes, we are experiencing increased demand for help from parents, teachers, and community leaders looking for affordable professional vision care.

Eye Care 4 Kids gives patients at all sites, including the mobile unit, the kind of personalized, high-quality experience they’d expect from a paid clinic. All patients receive a vision screening by a qualified technician (if not pre-screened), evaluation by an optician or optometrist, an eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist and a new, quality pair of eyeglasses with polycarbonate, scratch-resistant corrective lenses and UV coating, and case.

The proposed grant of $10,000 would enable nearly 240 students to receive eye exams and new prescription glasses at very low or no cost in 2022:
• 200 basic eyeglasses @ $35 per pair = $7,000
• 40 special prescription @ $70 per pair = $2,800

Project Title: Ehouse Children’s Development Program
Project Description:

Oakland Elizabeth House (Ehouse) is a transitional housing program for homeless women and their children who live in Alameda County. Coming to Ehouse from various shelters, recovery programs, and even their cars, our families arrive with the clothes on their backs and their life belongings in garbage bags.
Our Children’s Development Program has three components. First, we hold weekly activities on Monday and Thursday nights for children to do arts and crafts, bake cupcakes and cookies, or work on other fun games and projects that teach the importance of sharing and how to play together. Second, Ehouse works with two camps to provide activities and the camp experience. Camps for Kids Project provides children the opportunity to learn new skills, interact with other children, have a place to go that does not make them feel like they are homeless, increase their ability to maintain positive relationships, and help with self-esteem. When camps are closed, we try to take children on field trips to visit sites such as the State Capitol (Sacramento), Aurelia Henry Reinhardt Regional Park, and Alameda beach. And, finally, our Educational Success program, which provides the children at Ehouse with school supplies, technology, and tutoring. Our tutoring component includes any subjects that youth might need help with, on an individual basis. We want all of them to become successful and learn the skills necessary for independence, so our tutoring also focuses on teaching better ways to learn, different techniques to approach education, self-teaching, critical thinking, and problem solving. Rather than give children the answer, or lead them directly to it, our children are guided in their own quest for knowledge.
The goal of this program is to improve the likelihood of positive outcomes for the children at Ehouse through educational and social development.

Project Title: Services for Child & Teen Survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence
Project Description:

Canyon Creek Services (CCS) is a community based domestic and sexual violence organization located in rural southern Utah. CCS has a Child & Youth advocacy program that meets the needs of vulnerable children and teenagers who have experienced or witnessed domestic, sexual or child abuse. When a child or teenager comes into our care, they’re assigned their own Child & Youth advocate who specializes in working with children and can support them with their unique needs in healing from the violence they have experienced. As the quote from Hodding Carter says, the two most important things we can give children are roots, which is safety, support, and security; and wings, which is education, mentoring, and championing. Our Child & Youth Victim Advocates provide both of those critical elements. Last year, CCS provided individualized services to 135 child clients and this number has consistently grown year after year. These supportive services are critical in helping children cope with and heal from the trauma they have experienced. With the number of children we serve increasing, we’ll be increasing programming and activities as well. The cost of the supplies, materials, and possible entry fees for various outings is one that isn’t easy for our organization to absorb. Our program is perfectly in line with the Hermanowski Family Foundation’s mission to “ improve and transform the lives of children and young adults living in the United States” and “provide them with the necessary tools to succeed and to achieve their full potential.” With funding from the Hermanowski Family Foundation, CCS will be able to continue to meet the growing needs of the children and teens we serve and expand child & youth programming in order to best serve these children. To learn more about the services we provide to children and teens, please visit https://canyoncreekservices.org/article/niQ0M2HMzbs00WpvVL9y

Total Project Budget: Approximately $80,000.00, most of this amount is for the wages of our two Child & Youth Advocates

Today’s Date: March 25, 2022
Requested Amount: $6,600

Project Title: Mini-Grants for Community-Engaged Classroom Projects
Project Description:

To improve educational outcomes for students in the Las Cruces Public Schools (LCPS), we propose to build on an existing program, CommunityShare Las Cruces (CommunityShare), to offer students more opportunities for project-based learning with support from subject matter experts in the community.

CommunityShare is a free-to-use, online platform that connects teachers with community partners to bring knowledge and enthusiasm into the classroom. The expertise of the community partners can enhance learning through classroom projects, demonstrations, and other initiatives developed jointly by teachers and community partners. To expand the types of projects that students, teachers, and community partners can undertake, Cruces Creatives—Las Cruces’ nonprofit makerspace—also provides access to the wide range of tools and training available through its 12,400 ft2 anchor facility and mobile labs.

Working especially with the Las Cruces Community Schools, we have built a pilot cohort of 77 teachers and 72 community partners for the Las Cruces Community Schools and launched the first 22 classroom projects: projects like a student-led school composting program, recycled blankets for a homeless shelter, a custom mobility device for a student’s younger sibling, and much more. All participating teachers report that the program improved student engagement and learning outcomes, even during the disruptions of the pandemic. Based on these successes, we are expanding the program to all schools in the greater Las Cruces area—and to support this expansion, additional mini-grant funding will be essential.

With $6,600 in funding from the Hermanowski Family Foundation, we propose to fund an additional 15 classroom projects, and cover the projects’ de minimus 10% indirect expenses, throughout the greater Las Cruces area. Based on the LCPS student-teacher ratio of 17:1, we expect that the 15 mini-grants from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will benefit approximately 255 students.

Project Title: SMART Tutoring Program
Project Description:

For over five decades, Tutoring Chicago has strived to deliver the power of education through one-to-one tutoring. We offer this to children facing financial barriers at no cost to their families. In the past decade, we expanded our reach and services to better meet the needs across the city, including a pivot to high quality digital programming over the last two years.

To this end, Tutoring Chicago provides both synchronous digital and in-person tutoring options for nearly 1,000 students with the help of over 1,000 volunteer tutors each week across three tutoring programs.

This grant will support our SMART Tutoring Program serving 750 students in grades 1-6. Our SMART Tutoring Program focuses on five areas of student achievement: Social Emotional Learning, Mathematics, Accountability, Reading, and Technology. Within the context of trusting relationships with adults, our students focus on homework review, executive functioning skills, and developmental experiences that combine learning and reflection.

Each student is matched with their own adult volunteer tutor for the school year, meeting once a week for 1.5 hours of individualized instruction. Our curriculum and resources are carefully curated by our program staff composed of former teachers. Our trained and well-educated adult volunteers provide critical, supplemental education along with developmental experiences and positive relationships.

Project Title: High-Quality, Affordable Early Learning for Underserved Children
Project Description:

Since 80% of a child’s brain is developed by age three, quality early education impacts the child’s ability to learn and succeed in school and life. Children who receive quality early childhood learning are healthier, happier, more likely to graduate from high school and college, avoid teen pregnancy, be employed, earn higher wages and enjoy home ownership. Children also are less likely to repeat a grade, require special education, be incarcerated, live in poverty as adults and rely on public assistance. With access to affordable and high-quality early learning and care, working families achieve better job stability and overall economic security. Over 5,000 children are not registered in quality early learning programs in Collier County, FL – the cost of care is out of reach for most families. Founded in 2008, Child’s Path operates four early learning centers, serving 300-400 children annually, and is one of the largest providers of high-quality early learning to underserved children in Collier County, FL. Over 75% of students receive income-based Bright Paths Scholarships to attend so their parents can continue to work to support their families. Children are ethnically diverse and come from working family households. Many live in homes where English is not spoken, reside in single-parent households, and live in "food desert" neighborhoods. Even though 76% of families with children under age 6 have both parents working, they can barely afford to provide the basics and live paycheck-to-paycheck. Roughly one in every four households in Collier County is at risk of a single financial emergency tipping them into poverty. Despite these obstacles, 100% of Child’s Path Children improved their social, emotional and cognitive developmental skills; 80% met/exceeded those goals and 83% of pre-kindergartens students assessed as “ready for kindergarten” – 30 points above the state average of 53%.

Project Title: Haitian Children & Youth Empowerment
Project Description:

SUMMARY: The Haitian Children & Youth Empowerment Program will encourage the educational, social & financial development of elementary, middle & high school students. In addition to tutoring, students will engage in activities that encourage creativity, social awareness, character development, responsibility, & leadership skills.
GOAL: is to encourage and support youth in school and outside the classroom, developing strong and confident youth with strong moral values to become leaders in their families and in their communities.
The HCYE Program (since 2005) will work with 30 children per year, grades K – 12th grade, in the immigrant Haitian community in Palm Beach County. The majority of parents are un/under skilled and un/under educated due to abject poverty in their homeland of Haiti. Weekly Saturday classes during the school year provide academic enrichment for elementary children and monthly youth sessions for middle & high school students will focus on social issues, character development, leadership skills, financial capability, respect and responsibility. Guest speakers bring awareness to special topics, such as mental health, legal issues and careers. Parents are invited to join in select discussions. HTH staff is available for individual tutoring as needed, and to accompany parents to student/parent/teacher conferences, as requested by parents. This comprehensive approach encourages students to reach their full potential in school, in their communities and in life.
Funding will allow for:
• $1000: Guest speakers
• $1500: Food & supplies: food and drinks are provided for Saturday class and youth presentations. Supplies include paper, ink, grade-level workbooks and supplies for group discussion & activities.
• $2500: a part-time salary for the educator & a gas stipends for an assistant. Supporting a salaried educator brings continuity and consistency to this program and will greatly impact/strengthen this program.
