Project Title: Golden Groceries
Project Description:

Our family Resource Center assist individuals from all walks of life with food resources, hygiene items and clothing. Our office is located on the east side of Las Vegas, which is an economically disadvantaged area of the city. We are constantly serving families and individuals on a daily basis who are in need. We have noticed an uptick in community need since the beginning of 2023, as record high inflation has driven grocery prices up nationwide, including by over 20% in Nevada.

As a non-profit 501c3, we rely on grant funding and donations to maintain program operations. Unfortunately, with the increased cost of rent and utilities, daily survival for those we serve has become very challenging. Families are residing in crime embedded zip codes due to lower rent costs and individuals are having to decide between "paying rent or buying food for the month". With your generous donation, we will be able to assist families in need and improve the lives of those we serve.

Project Title: Preparing Young Minds for a Brighter Tomorrow
Project Description:

Our campus, known as "The Refuge," comprises two buildings, expansive green spaces, an outdoor pavilion, a fully equipped kitchen, one gymnasium, and a recently updated playground. Rise Up for Kids brings nearly three decades of experience dedicated to empowering children and youth. Our commitment is realized through personalized mentoring, small group youth development initiatives, and a comprehensive after-school program.

The 2023 State of the Child in Tennessee Report underscores concerning realities facing our youth:

One in five children live in poverty.
Over 1000 youth experience homelessness.
More than 40% battle obesity, with physical activity declining by 15% over the past decade.
Tennessee ranks 15th in the U.S. for child abuse cases.
Mental health issues are prevalent, with over 20% of students contemplating suicide.
In Johnson City, these challenges are magnified, particularly among youth from under-resourced backgrounds. Limited access to positive role models and essential life skills often translates into lower academic performance and an ongoing struggle for sufficient support and resources.

At "The Refuge," we are dedicated to transforming these statistics into stories of resilience and hope. Through our facilities and programs, we provide a safe haven where children can flourish academically, emotionally, and socially. Our goal is to bridge gaps, nurture potential, and empower each child to thrive despite the odds they face. Join us in building a brighter future for Johnson City’s youth.

Today’s Date: 8.3.24
Requested Amount: 7200

Project Title: Arts Integration to Improve Literacy-Teaching Artist
Project Description:

The Center for Creative Education operates The Foundations School which focuses on the illiteracy crisis among regional students from low socio-economic households, marginalized communities, and zoned to attend an underperforming school. Last year, 89% of our third graders were reading at or above grade level by the end of the year. These results showed significant promise given that nearly half of the third graders in the eight schools proximal to the Center for Creative Education could not read at grade level, with the average reading proficiency score even lower at 23%. With these promising results and thirty years’ experience, the Center for Creative Education is requesting support for its arts-integrated model of learning.
The Center for Creative Education has a multi-pronged approach to tackling educational challenges, with the following core objectives:
Improve Literacy Rates: A primary focus is to increase reading proficiency among students, particularly those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, marginalized communities, and underperforming schools.
Inspire Students Through Arts: The Center for Creative Education’s teaching approach integrates artistic expression (visual arts, music, dance) into the learning process to enhance engagement, creativity, and overall academic achievement.
Close the Achievement Gap: By providing targeted support and innovative learning methods, the Center for Creative Education ensures all students, regardless of their families’ economic status or current skills, have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Break the Cycle of Poverty: Improved literacy and educational attainment are key factors in breaking the cycle of poverty. The Center for Creative Education’s goal is to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue higher education and realize optimistic futures.
Foster Creative Expression: By incorporating art into the curriculum, the Center for Creative Education nurtures students’ creativity and self-expression, cultivating well-rounded individuals with a love for learning.

Total Project Budget: 40,000

Project Duration: 12 months
Geographical Area Served: CCE intentionally established The Foundations School in an area of West Palm Beach that lacks basic support systems and is home to some of the county’s poorest performing schools based on statestandardized testing. We concentrate our recruitment based on County’s Zip Code Report published by Children’s Services Council of Palm BeachCounty. This report ranks zip codes based on health and education factors that include, but are not limited to the percent of families with children in poverty, children scoring not ready for school, children scoring not reading on 3rd grade reading level, and high school graduation rates. The zip codes we focus on fail nearly all, if not all of those metrics and are labeled as the ‘most challenged zip codes’ in the county.
Age Group To Be Served: 5 to 13
