Project Title: Warm Hands & Warm Soles
Project Description:

At OSPREY Camp, we offer a transformative one-week outdoor education adventure to 5th and 6th graders in Washington State. Our program immerses students in the wonders of the Puget Sound watershed, guiding them to identify native plants and animal tracks. However, the children we serve face significant challenges. Our students come from Title 1 schools and live well below the poverty line, with some even experiencing homelessness, residing in shelters or their family’s car.
Heartbreakingly, upon arrival at OSPREY Camp, many children lack the necessities to stay warm. Ill-prepared and without proper clothing, they face discomfort and uncertainty during their camp experience. But at OSPREY Camp, we refuse to let them endure this hardship alone. Our compassionate staff bridges the gap, ensuring every child without a coat, gloves, or warm socks receives them upon arrival. It’s not just about providing warmth; it’s about showing these children they are seen, valued, and cared for.
By the end of their time at OSPREY Camp, these young participants take home cherished memories and the tangible warmth of a coat, gloves, and socks. It’s a small gesture with a profound impact, instilling a sense of dignity and belonging in children who may otherwise feel forgotten. Join us in ensuring that every child’s journey at OSPREY Camp is filled with comfort, warmth, and the unwavering support they deserve.

Project Title: Champions For Learning Student Programs
Project Description:

Children from households with low incomes, and who have parents with low levels of formal education encounter barriers to graduating high school, enrolling in postsecondary education or job training, and completing college, making it likely that they will struggle to secure stable employment and attain financial security. Champions For Learning’s Student Programs are divided into two distinct but complementary spheres: ‘college and career access’ and ‘occupation-based learning and skill-building’ and are designed to equip and prepare students for their future learning and career goals. Eighty-nine percent of the students we serve come from households living at or below the national poverty line. Our Student Programs support students working towards high school graduation and postsecondary education or technical training, equipping them with the tools necessary for continued academic, career, and overall life success. Our Take Stock in Children program emphasizes mentoring to guide students towards successful completion of high school and enrollment in college. The College and Career Preparation Program prepares 11th and 12th grade students for their future learning and career goals post high school graduation. Through the Technical Pathways program, students receive guidance on how to navigate the academic, technical, and real-world knowledge, skills and experience they need to be prepared for a career. Collier County Public Schools’ High School Entrepreneurship Program offers project-based, authentic learning in a real-world environment. Champions For Learning recruits and trains volunteers, who work with students to develop the spirit of an entrepreneur.

Total Project Budget: $2,107,229

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): For Fiscal Year 2025, committed sources of the funding for our Student Programs include Naples Children and Education Foundation. The Annual Fund Plan is the foundation of Champions For Learning’s fundraising activities, and includes direct mail campaigns, digital fundraising strategies, stewardship, fundraising and cultivation events, a large grants portfolio, and a planned giving program. Our fundraising efforts work in concert with our Communications Plan, which includes newsletters and weekly updates, the Champions For Learning website, social media engagement across multiple platforms, and a public relations strategy engaging local print and broadcast media.

Project Title: Summer Academic Program for 5th-8th Grade Students with Limited Opportunities
Project Description:

Breakthrough San Francisco is a college access and teacher training program committed to educational opportunity. In pursuit of this goal, we provide intensive, out-of-school time enrichment and support to motivated San Francisco students with limited educational opportunities, while training the next generation of educators.

We make an eight-year investment in our students – from the summer after fourth grade until they graduate high school, with optional persistence support during college. Each year, we serve approximately 230 students, most of whom will be the first in their families to attend a four-year college. We’re proud that 100% of students in our first six graduating high school classes have enrolled in college, including 90% in four-year schools.

Breakthrough San Francisco respectfully requests funding from the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation for our 2025 summer academic program for 135 rising fifth through eighth grade students.

Each day during the summer program, students take challenging academic classes in math, science, literature, and writing, engaging in meaningful discussions and projects while building a foundation for the upcoming school year. Our classes are engaging and full of hands-on projects; in science, for example, students might create egg drop vehicles or dissect pigs’ hearts. Because classes are small – just 8 – 9 students each – students receive personalized attention. In addition, a study hall in the afternoon enables students to get started on their homework with help from their teachers. Also each afternoon, students also attend elective classes, such as dance, coding, or soccer, and weekly special events that expand their horizons, like STEM Olympics, College Day, and Career Day.

Through all of these endeavors, students become part of a strong, diverse community, including friendships with other college-bound youth and close, lasting relationships with our teachers and staff, enabling them to take risks and persevere. Our summer program prevents learning loss, supports students’ wellness and social-emotional development, builds students’ connection to our strong community, and keeps their sights set on college.
