Project Description:

At the heart of the Jimmy Banks Academy is a vision of a future where every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. As shown by the posthumous visionary, Jimmy Banks, we believe that access to quality education, fitness, mentorship, and sports can break the cycle of poverty and inequality, opening doors to brighter futures.

In Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, there is a critical need for accessibility to programming aimed at nurturing the potential of young individuals from diverse and underserved backgrounds through sports, education, and mentorship. Jimmy Banks Soccer and Mentorship Academy is a beacon of hope, that offers a safe and inclusive space for children and youth in the underresourced communities of the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County, Wisconsin to grow, learn, and excel in life.

The academy’s primary goal is to empower kids and youth aged 5 to 17 with life skills, leadership abilities, and the joy of playing soccer. Through this 8-week+ approach, we address various aspects of their development, fostering education, financial literacy, physical fitness, teamwork, discipline, and resilience. It promotes wellness, encouraging a balanced lifestyle that includes proper nutrition and mental health awareness at a young age. We instill a sense of civic responsibility by involving participants in community service projects, teaching them the value of giving back.

The founders, coaches, and mentors serve as role models for the participants, helping them set goals, make informed decisions, and navigate the challenges of adolescence, guiding these young people toward an illuminating future.

Project Title: Restart to Restore Mentoring Initiative
Project Description:

The primary focus of Restart to Restore is to increase self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-empowerment to make positive, proactive decisions in everyday life of those in the community. Emotional intelligence (EQ) and Transformational learning are significant parts of living a productive life and reaching short and long-term goals. Below are several commonly occurring factors that prevent individuals from reaching higher levels of adherence and resilience :

Poverty/Socioeconomic status
inequity
Poor nutrition,
Substance misuse
Systems Mistrust
Busy schedule (overworked)
Domestic Violence
Entrenched trauma
Internalized racism
Mental health challenges

These factors have created entrenched barriers and health inequities, particularly in minority health initiatives throughout the United States. Our Restart to Restore Program initiative addresses the underlying causes of these barriers that keep individuals from gaining overall health and wellness. Many other variables must be addressed, including the complexities of race, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Fundamentally, Restart to Restore is psychosocial education, teaching all-inclusive, self-empowerment skills that will offer individuals the choice to replace reactive behavior, reframe perspective, and make proactive decisions while learning pertinent techniques that will serve to promote important life skills, including self-respect, compassion, and social responsibility.
Restart to Restore helps to shift perceptions from survival mode reactions to proactive decision-making life skills. This helps to move participants into a place of courage, confidence, and self-compassion.
Former participants of this program confirm the transformative impact on their mental health and wellness, families, workplace performance, and community involvement; thus, creating positive outcomes for future generations to come. When people know better, they can begin to do better. My own life experiences are evidence of this fact.

Total Project Budget: $9,904 to $14,856 for 12 weeks (Depending on the size of the group of 8 to 12 participants.

Project Title: Canyon Roots: Cultivating Resilience and Team Spirit in Youth Project Description (Limit to 300 Words):
Project Description:

SOA CSC, a non-profit dedicated to empowering underserved youth, fervently seeks The Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation’s support for a transformative one-time Outdoor Education and Adventure Camp at Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

Imagine 35 local teens immersed in the awe-inspiring landscapes of the canyon, actively engaged in hands-on activities like stargazing, wildlife tracking, and building eco-friendly shelters. Our expert guides, including Park Rangers, will lead workshops fostering environmental stewardship while igniting a passion for nature. Beyond the breathtaking scenery, this camp promises:

Teamwork Challenges: Participants will collaborate on building rope bridges and navigating the canyons, fostering essential communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills.

Survival Skills: From campfire cooking to basic first-aid, teens will gain confidence and practical knowledge, preparing them for future adventures.

Environmental Responsibility: Interactive workshops on flora, fauna, and conservation will empower participants to become responsible stewards of our planet.

This immersive experience is designed to leave a measurable impact. We anticipate a 20% improvement in teamwork skills, a 15% increase in survival knowledge, and a 25% rise in environmental awareness among participants. Past programs have seen shy individuals transform into confident leaders, and urban residents develop a newfound appreciation for nature’s wonders.

This adventure is just the beginning. We envision future partnerships and community outreach programs, building a lasting legacy of environmental awareness and empowered youth.

We urgently implore your invaluable partnership in bringing this transformative experience to life. Together, SOA CSC and The Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation can nurture the next generation of responsible environmental stewards and community leaders, aligning perfectly with your mission to foster environmental awareness and empower young minds. Thank you for considering our proposal. We eagerly await the opportunity to discuss this impactful collaboration and its potential to enrich the lives of children and young adults in our community.

Today’s Date: 1/18/2024
Requested Amount: $10,000

Project Title: A Book for Every Student
Project Description:

We are seeking funding to implement the “A Book for Every Student” project. The community that Low Income Student Aid, Inc. serves has its share of socio-economic challenges in rural northern Arizona due to lack of services. Many families live in poverty or are homeless and this has an impact, resulting in multiple academic deficits. The students we assist attend four Title 1 schools in the Verde Valley. These schools have between 68% – 82% of students qualifying for free and reduced school lunches. If funded, we anticipate this project having an impact of being able to put a book in 1,521 student’s hands. The total cost for this project is $15,210. We are asking $10,000 from the Hermanowski Foundation and are committed to raise the additional $5,210 needed.
Many of these students have never been able to purchase something from the book fair at school. Each student will receive a voucher for one $10 book of their choice. Every book purchased at the book fair helps each school library earn points to purchase new books, so we see this as a double win! Books develop and nourish kids’ imaginations, expanding their worlds. Having books in the home is proven to positively benefit children in a myriad of ways. A two-decade long study found that the mere presence of a home library increases children’s academic success, vocabulary development, attention, and job attainment.

Total Project Budget: $15,210

Project Title: Teacher Support Network
Project Description:

This grant will support our Teacher Support Network (TSN) program, which addresses the pressing needs of teachers and students in the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD). With an average annual personal spend of $750 by teachers on classroom supplies, TSN significantly eases this financial burden while providing essential resources to students. At the heart of TSN’s uniqueness is our year-round, on-demand supply provision model. Unlike traditional programs with fixed distribution schedules, TSN offers schools the flexibility to obtain exactly what they need when they need it. This responsiveness to evolving classroom requirements throughout the school year sets TSN apart, ensuring that no urgent need goes unmet. Another distinctive feature of TSN is our customized and teacher-vetted material selection. From classroom basics to art supplies, sports equipment, snacks, and hygiene products, our diverse range caters to the holistic needs of students. This broad range is particularly impactful, as we are on track to deliver over $250,000 in materials to schools, encompassing $50,000 in winter gear and $20,000 in physical education equipment during the 2023-2024 school year. Crucially, TSN is a driving force in addressing educational inequities within the Madison community. By ensuring equitable access to necessary resources, we are leveling the educational playing field. Every child, regardless of background, receives the tools they need to succeed. This commitment to inclusivity and equity is not just about providing supplies; it’s about fostering a nurturing and supportive educational environment for all. Our partnership with EZ Office Products epitomizes community collaboration, further embedding TSN into the community fabric. Through strategic fundraising, MPSF ensures that all 52 MMSD schools and 3 special programs have a budget to utilize our online store, democratizing access to educational resources. The TSN thus fills a unique niche in our community, serving as a beacon of support, equity, and educational excellence.
