Project Title: Emergency Fund
Project Description:

A child’s brain develops faster from birth to age 5 than at any other time. These critical developmental years set the groundwork for future life outcomes. Yet, for many children living in communities left under resourced by decades of historical and institutional racism, their families cannot find, afford, or access quality early education and care.

DLEC is guided by the belief that our society can only become just when all its young children have access to high-quality, multicultural, early learning opportunities regardless of race, heritage, citizenship, or economic status. Our purpose is to promote school readiness through our early education centers, home visiting program and free weekly story at 3 local libraries. We prepare families for a lifetime of success by partnering with expectant families prior to the child’s birth and into the child’s early years (ages 0-5).

Our funding request is to help support the agency’s greatest needs. Currently our greatest needs are supporting the children and families we serve and their basic needs. Funds would be used to provide educational materials to children during the summer, purchasing bus tickets and supplying the emergency fund that families can access. The end of the Eviction Memorandum in Seattle has led to a sharp 10% increase in family homelessness. Our emergency fund is crucial, now more than ever, as we are inundated with families desperately needing help for their immediate crises and basic needs. With the Hermanowski Foundation’s support, DLEC is at a critical juncture to alter the futures of vulnerable children and their families by providing essential necessities.

Project Title: Sght 4 Success – Utah
Project Description:

At Eye Care 4 Kids, we believe every child who needs glasses should have them, regardless of socio-economic circumstances. Our mission is to provide professional vision care to low-income, visually impaired children and families. We recognize the inherent link between vision and education and are dedicated to giving all students the best chance at academic, social, and emotional success. Through the commitment of our network of community supporters, we remove barriers to good vision—there should not be social inequality for children in providing this basic service.

A high-impact solution to healthcare inequality, EyeCare4Kids’ Sight 4 Success campaign is designed to make vital vision care services accessible to families from diverse backgrounds with limited financial resources. The “SEE-MORE” Mobile Vision Clinic brings the full menu of vision care services to schools, community centers, rural areas, and Native American reservations throughout the State.

All children visiting our vision clinic receive a vision screening by a qualified technician, a vision evaluation and eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist, and a quality pair of eyeglasses made in our state-of-the-art optical lab to their exact prescription (when needed). The eyewear package includes new frames with polycarbonate, scratch-resistant corrective lenses and UV coating, and a soft case. We negotiate with the largest manufacturers to get the latest styles and sizes. Our products have not been previously used or recycled.

Given today’s historic inflation, EyeCare4Kids is experiencing increased demand for help from parents, teachers, and community leaders looking for an affordable option to receive professional vision care. A new $6,000 grant from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will enable Eye Care 4 Kids to provide 300 vision care services for low-income children in the State of Utah.

Today’s Date: 3/14/2024
Requested Amount: 10,000

Project Title: Advocating for Abused and Neglected Children with Open Cases Before the Court
Project Description:

Since 1989, Fairfax CASA has served almost 9,000 abused children by providing a vetted, trained and dedicated volunteer (a CASA), who ensures that the voices of these vulnerable children are heard, and that they do not slip through the cracks of the chaotic child welfare system. The majority of our children are separated from their parents and removed from everything and everyone they know; their lives change in an instant. While in the system, most children experience at least two foster home placements, school changes, and multiple social workers. Siblings are sometimes separated, children are placed in treatment facilities, and visitation with parents occurs once or twice per week and is closely supervised. Throughout their time in this system, there is one person who will be there from the beginning, until the very end of their case: Their CASA. Fairfax CASAs stay on their cases until closure (an average of 23 months, but we have had cases stay open as long as 10 years).

CASAs act as the “eyes and ears” of the Court, by getting to know the children (visiting at least twice/month), observing the relationships with their parents, checking in with service providers and schools, monitoring the status of court-ordered services, and listening to the children. They write comprehensive reports, with recommendations, for every hearing. They keep the focus of these cases on the children.

Post-pandemic, we have experienced a surge in substance abuse, mental health issues and domestic violence. Last year, we experienced a 137% increase in cases, serving more children (367) than we have in over a decade, and we are on track to serve even more this year. 100% of our funding comes from competitive grants, donations and events. A $10,000 grant would cover the cost of one year of advocacy for five children.

Project Title: Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee’s StartUp Initiative
Project Description:

At Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee (JA), we give young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make informed academic and economic choices. Our programs are centered on financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship. Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) is the largest school district within our 22-county region serving 81,334 students; 55% are from low-to-moderate income families. JA is requesting $10,000 from the Hermanowski Family Foundation for our StartUp Initiative. StartUp provides economic inclusion and shared prosperity by continuing to reach underserved students throughout MNPS.

Through StartUp, MNPS students are provided equitable access to financial education regardless of background, ability or financial need. Prior to our initiative, cost and transportation barriers separated MNPS students from participating in two of JA’s powerful programs: JA BizTown (JABT) and JA Finance Park (JAFP). JABT combines in-classroom learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town at our facility. This popular program allows 5th grade students to manage businesses, write checks, acquire healthcare insurance, vote for mayor, and much more. JAFP is a personal finance planning and career exploration simulation on-site at our facility. Following in-classroom instruction, upper middle and high school students experience a realistic life scenario and tailor a personal budget based on provided income, employment, credit score, and family dynamic.

JA’s StartUp subsidizes the out-of-pocket student fee and schedules charter bus transportation for schools who need it. The cost of sending a student through JABT or JAFP is $85 when transportation is needed ($60 curriculum + $25 transportation). Partnering with JA in our mission to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy, support from the Hermanowski Family Foundation would allow 118 students to participate in our financial capstone programming.

Today’s Date: March 14, 2024
Requested Amount: $6000

Project Title: After School & Recreation Programs for Students with Complex Disabilities
Project Description:

Keshet is at the forefront of disability inclusion by creating a community of belonging where people of all abilities learn, play, work, live and grow together. Through schools, recreation, vocational support and residential homes, 600 people with disabilities benefit directly from Keshet support with another 4,000+ community members impacted each year. Keshet serves people with complex needs and from all backgrounds, with a commitment that no one should be turned away for an inability to pay for services.

Keshet seeks funding to expand after school activities for students with complex disabilities. For parents, it is difficult to find extracurricular options for their children with disabilities, and, when they do, the programs are often beyond their means. Their children do not get the social connections, mental wellness, physical health and self-confidence that comes with participation and, as working parents, they don’t have childcare.

Keshet recognizes that quality education includes learning that takes place outside of the classroom. Our youth programs provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, try new things and gain valuable life skills. Through music, fitness, art, cooking, drama and more, students develop motor skills, practice social skills, and get a boost to their self-esteem.

Even though Keshet does everything possible to keep costs low, the fees associated with after school and recreation are out of reach for many families. At Keshet’s schools, 42% of students come from low-income households. These families and many others in our community cannot afford to send their kids to these programs, and the students are missing out of the gaining skills that allow them to succeed and achieve their full potential.

With $6000, Keshet can make programs available to 12-15 students with disabilities at low or no cost, providing meaningful growth students, snacks and meals, and critical childcare for working parents.
