Project Title: Next Youth Leaders
Project Description:

Next Youth provides different programming to youth in the New York area. Our most popular are Bridging the Gap and Lightning Academy.

Bridging the Gap is an open forum between youth and police officers to discuss current issues and events plaguing the community. In the wake of recent events have sparked nationwide protests. The already strained relationship between law enforcement and the black community has resurfaced. Trust has been lost. Lives have been lost, leaving the urban community extremely frustrated and reaching its boiling point. The results were rebellions throughout most major cities across the country. It’s vital for police agencies to make improving relationships with their local community a top priority.

Next Youth Leader has partnered with the New York Police Department (NYPD) to bring a multiple session program to youth to discuss issue plaguing our communities. These discussions have led to meaningful conversation and information given to our youth.

Lightning Academy is a program for middle and high school students who do not have access to tutors or extra help outside the classroom. Lightning Academy currently serves 150 youth in a variety of subject including math, science, English and history.

Project Title: Camp Scholarship Fund
Project Description:

We respectfully request funding to support the Camp Easterseals scholarship program.
For over 65 years, Camp Easterseals has provided exceptional camp programming for people with disabilities. It is a lifeline to many, where children and adults with disabilities enjoy a fun-filled outdoor experience and activities they may be unable to access anywhere else; including horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, arts and crafts, ziplining, campfires and more! Camp is a fully accessible facility; able to accommodate campers with a wide range of needs. Camp Easterseals proudly serves more than 500 individuals annually.
Camp Easterseals provides three central benefits for campers, their families, and camp staff. For campers, in addition to great fun, camp provides the opportunity to gain independence, explore new interests, and foster valuable friendships. Second, it gives caregivers a much-needed break. For some, this is their only time apart for the year, allowing for opportunities to spend time with siblings, partners, or to simply recharge from the rigors of daily caregiving duties. Third, camp gives college age staff the invaluable experience of serving people with disabilities. Many of our counselors are pursuing healthcare or therapeutic fields of study. Being able to gain an in depth understanding of the challenges faced by children and adults with disabilities provides a valuable foundation for these future professionals, and enhances their ability to care for individuals with a variety of complex needs.
Funds will be used exclusively to provide summer camp scholarships to children with disabilities and financial need to attend Camp Easterseals. For those who request support, funds are distributed based on a sliding scale using family income. The last several years have presented financial challenges for many families. For those caring for a loved one with a lifelong disability, there are often many additional financial burdens present, from healthcare and therapeutic costs to specialized equipment and care needs. 38 % of families who applied for summer camp in 2022 requested financial assistance. We seek to not only provide joy for our campers and respite for families, but also respite from any additional financial burdens.

Project Title: Inspire – Nutrition Education and Healthy Food Access
Project Description:

Children’s Health Center’s (CHC) mission is "Improving health, healing people.” We provide care to children with special needs, acute illnesses, and chronic disabilities/conditions. CHC is the only one of its kind in northern Arizona serving 50,000 square miles. Our Inspire program is an intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment program specializing in the treatment of obesity, and conditions commonly associated with obesity, including Type 2 Diabetes, Fatty Liver Disease, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Orthopedic conditions, and more. The program provides individualized, comprehensive care with a nurse practitioner, registered dietician, exercise physiologist, and social worker to foster healthy practices. Cooking classes are a vital educational tool to support nutrition education in children. We also invite the parents to participate as we believe health is a family affair, and parental support is crucial for the child or young adult to succeed and achieve their full potential. Currently we have a recurring grant with Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation to support this effort and have received it six years in a row due to its success. We would like to expand our efforts to support more children. Through this request, we can offer these healthy life skills through 150 additional classes. This would cover the class food and a gift certificate at each visit to a local grocery store to purchase fruits and vegetables as prescribed by the dietician. In addition, each family would receive a cooking tool at their first class so they can replicate the recipes at home.
Food for 150 cooking classes at $25/first class + 50 follow-up classes = $3,750
Cooking tool for each first class at $40/child (100 classes) = $4,000
$10 gift certificates to local grocery store to purchase prescribed fruits and vegetables (150 cooking classes) = $1,500

Total Project Budget: $57,000 (this accounts for the Dieticians hourly charge)

Requested Amount: $10,000

Project Title: JECC Jazz Bootcamp
Project Description:

JECC provides quality Jazz instruction and mentoring to youth, at a weekly rate of $5. The level of instruction and the depth that is reached is simply not possible with in-school ensembles, due to time constraints and class size. Private instruction can be cost-prohibitive for many families, shutting talented youth from opportunities to hone their skills.

The organization emphasizes quality over quantity, seeking to make a real and lasting difference for the youth that engage in the program. JECC’s Jazz Bootcamp, held at WDNA’s Studios since 2013 has sent project alumni on to some of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the country. Youth participants also have earned various awards, scholarships and many have gone on to become professional musicians.

Besides weekly instruction, participants have monthly performance opportunities. JECC has performed at Hollywood ArtWalk, South Beach Jazz Festival, and within Group performances curated by JECC and partners, Kuyayky Foundation, The South Florida Center for Percussive Arts and The Children’s Voice Choir, among others.

Executive Director Nicole Yarling has a 40 year career as professional musician, educator, and mentor to youth, serving as the curator for WDNA’s Jazz Encounters and with the Gold Coast Jazz Society as the organizer for their monthly Jam held at Art Serve for over 12 years. She is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and utilizes her connections to bring high caliber individuals into rotation for the workshops offered through the program.

Requested Amount: $6000

Project Title: AWE Scholarships
Project Description:

Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) is a Palm Beach County member based nonprofit whose mission is to offer $1500 scholarships to young women graduating from a Palm Beach County high school and continuing their education at Florida Atlantic University, Lynn University, Palm Beach Atlantic University or Palm Beach State College. We are hyper focused on our local community and supporting higher education to high achieving students primarily from low to moderate income communities.
A $6000 grant will join our current funders and AWE members by supplying four new $1,500 scholarships to motivated, academically proven young women in-need who choose to or need to pursue college educations locally. Your total donation will go to scholarship funding with no administrative costs and you will help ensure these deserving scholars who require financial assistance realize their dreams of achieving a college degree in PBC and pursuing lives of productivity and promise here at home.
Many of the young women we have served come from underserved communities and have dealt with poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, abuse & neglect or have been in the foster care system. Many of these environments do not put a value on education, we aim to break that cycle.
Our scholarships make a crucial difference for the young women we serve. Often, we make the difference that diminishes their concern over educational debt.
We believe deeply in our purpose to help young women realize their full potential. We believe young women who demonstrate a desire for a higher education and meet all the requirements to be admitted to college deserve the chance regardless of their socio-economic status, therefore we always welcome new community partners to join us.

Project Title: One-to-One Tutoring
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. We are the largest one-to-one, after school tutoring program offering consistent, long-term pairings of students and volunteers in the Chicagoland area.

Education is among the most important foundations for a child’s future success. Unfortunately for students from low income backgrounds, they lack access to equal educational opportunities often resulting in worse educational outcomes.

However, through the dedicated support of caring adults and equitable access to resources, these barriers can be reduced for children, promoting their development and future success.

Tutoring Chicago offers both digital and in-person tutoring options for over 1,000 students with the help of over 1,000 volunteer tutors. Our tutoring programs operate along the academic calendar from September through May, with the option of a summer extension.

Each student is matched with their own adult volunteer tutor for the school year, meeting 1-2 times a week for 1.5-3 hours of individualized instruction. Our curriculum and resources are carefully curated by our program staff composed of primarily former educators. Our trained and well-educated adult volunteers provide critical, supplemental education along with developmental experiences and positive relationships, for children in 1st through 9th grades.

Your grant funding will directly support the delivery of tutoring for Chicago students facing economic barriers.

Total Project Budget: 1,200,000

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): We have $900,000 in grants awarded currently for the 2022-23 fiscal year. Additionally we have significant funds from individual donors, corporate groups and special events.
