Project Title: No Kid Sleeps On The Floor In Our Town!
Project Description:

Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Inc. (SHP) – Racine/Kenosha, WI Chapter is dedicated to ensuring that no child sleeps on the floor in our community. We serve children ages 3–17 who lack a safe, comfortable place to sleep by building and delivering fully furnished beds at no cost to families in need.

This project will support the construction and delivery of approximately 850 twin beds over a one-year period. Each bed includes a handcrafted wooden frame, a new twin mattress, pillows, sheets, and bedding—providing a complete sleep solution for every child served. Our beds are built during community volunteer build days that engage individuals, families, local businesses, and civic groups in meaningful, hands-on service.

Children in need are identified through referrals from schools, social service agencies, and trusted community partners, ensuring we reach families experiencing the greatest need while avoiding duplication of services. Once a referral is approved, our volunteers coordinate and complete home deliveries, assembling beds on-site so children have a safe, comfortable place to sleep that same day.

This project addresses a critical but often unmet basic need. Sleep is essential to a child’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, and academic success. By providing beds, we help improve sleep quality, promote stability, and support children in reaching their full potential.

Through a strong volunteer base and community partnerships, SHP – Racine/Kenosha maximizes impact while keeping costs low. This allows us to efficiently serve a high number of children and ensure that every dollar directly supports delivering beds to those who need them most.

Project Title: Career Launchpad Program
Project Description:

The Colossal Career Launchpad is an experiential program designed to help high school students explore careers by learning directly from the world around them. At Colossal Academy, we believe adolescents learn best when education feels real and connected to their future. Through regular field experiences across South Florida, students visit workplaces, meet entrepreneurs and professionals, and explore industries such as technology, environmental science, the arts, and small business. These experiences help students see what is possible for their own lives while building relationships with mentors in their community.

After each experience, students translate what they’ve learned into real projects. They design entrepreneurial ideas, build digital portfolios, and create work that reflects their interests and strengths. The program focuses on developing future-ready skills like collaboration, communication, problem solving, and creative thinking. By connecting learning to real careers and real people, the Career Launchpad helps young people discover their gifts, imagine new possibilities for their future, and begin building a pathway toward meaningful work and contribution

Project Title: Horses Helping Kids
Project Description:

Horses are one of the most commonly abused, neglected and abandoned animals in the U.S., with over 20,000 sent to slaughter each year. We strive to eliminate these tragedies and provide a safe haven for horses through rescue, rehabilitation, refuge and rehoming. An important aspect of our process and way in which we are unique, is encouraging horses to interact with as many people as they can, so they feel love from as many people as possible. This also allows us to not only help our horses, but people, especially the future generations. To promote access to and appreciation of the outdoors, we host horseback riding and horsemanship programs for kids ages 6-17, a hands-on educational experience at a working animal sanctuary, develop life skills and promote compassion for animals. Youth participants, most of whom are underprivileged, usually have no experience in a rural surrounding or with horses, and often lack access to the outdoors. Through horse interactions, they learn proper horsemanship, horseback techniques, responsibility by discovering what it requires to be a proper horse owner (e.g., how to feed, groom, muck stalls, identify poisonous flora) and why it’s important to care for vulnerable animals. We feel teaching our children to respect and protect even the most vulnerable among us is one of the most important life lessons we can pass on. These programs also give kids a safe space to socially interact and build confidence. Additionally, while on-site, kids learn about agriculture and equine industry careers and the fulfilling, financially stable futures they can provide and how to attain them. If we receive funding, we will be able to provide these programs to kids of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, at no cost to their families, so kids can participate without adding financial stress to their families.

Total Project Budget: 15,100

Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): For 2027, we have $5,000 pending from the South Baltimore Gateway Partnership and $2,000 from the Max and Victoria Dreyfus Foundation.

We anticipate receiving funding from some or all of these organizations for 2027. Also, we receive donations from countless individuals.

Project Title: Expanding Youth Theatre Access in Siouxland
Project Description:

The Sioux City Community Theatre (SCCT) provides year-round youth theatre programming serving approximately 225 students annually through semester classes, productions, and a summer theatre camp. Despite strong community interest, financial barriers and production limitations can restrict participation and program growth, particularly for youth from families with limited financial resources.

This project will expand access to SCCT’s youth theatre programming by increasing participation opportunities and reducing financial barriers. Funding will support the acquisition of higher-quality and more flexible production rights, allowing SCCT to select shows that accommodate larger casts and generate broader community engagement. In addition, funds will be used to provide scholarships and fee waivers to ensure that all interested youth—regardless of financial means—can participate in theatre education and performance opportunities.

The project will also enhance the quality of productions through investments in costumes, props, and materials, creating a more immersive and educational experience for participants. These improvements not only strengthen skill development in acting, collaboration, and creativity, but also increase audience engagement and community support.

Through this initiative, SCCT anticipates serving 200–250 youth participants over the course of one year. Outcomes will include increased participation rates, expanded access for underserved youth, and enhanced quality of youth theatre productions. SCCT will track enrollment, scholarship distribution, and audience engagement to evaluate success.

By reducing barriers and expanding opportunities, this project will ensure that more young people in the Siouxland region can experience the personal, social, and educational benefits of theatre.

Project Title: World Outside Our Doorstep
Project Description:

The Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club seeks $10,000 to support World Outside Our Doorstep, an experiential learning program that expands horizons for youth ages 5 to 18 through immersive cultural, educational, and community-based experiences.

Serving youth from some of Northeast Los Angeles’ most under-resourced neighborhoods, this program provides opportunities many of our members would not otherwise access. Through thoughtfully curated field trips to museums, art galleries, cultural institutions, and diverse neighborhoods across Los Angeles, youth gain exposure to new ideas, careers, and ways of life that broaden their sense of what is possible.

In addition to cultural exploration, participants engage in hands-on learning through visits to natural spaces, community landmarks, and local culinary experiences that celebrate the richness of Los Angeles’ diverse communities. Each outing is paired with guided reflection and discussion to deepen learning and connection.

The program also integrates workshops focused on substance abuse prevention, decision-making, and building resilience. These sessions equip youth with the tools to navigate real-life challenges, strengthen their sense of identity, and build confidence in unfamiliar environments.

Funding will support transportation, admission fees, program supplies, and staffing to ensure safe, structured, and meaningful experiences. With support from the Hermanowski Family Foundation, we will expand access to these opportunities for youth who would otherwise face barriers to participation.

World Outside Our Doorstep helps young people see beyond their immediate surroundings, fostering curiosity, confidence, and a lasting connection to the world around them.

Total Project Budget: $25,000

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Past investment from the California Natural Resources Agency has helped establish and expand the program. Current and potential support includes individual donors, corporate partners, and foundations to sustain and grow access.

Project Duration: 12 months, implemented year-round through ongoing programming and seasonal field experiences.

Project Title: Traditional Spanish Market
Project Description:

The Traditional Spanish Market is one of New Mexico’s most respected cultural events, dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional Hispanic and Spanish Colonial arts that have shaped the region for generations. Held annually on the historic Santa Fe Plaza, the market brings together hundreds of artists presenting handcrafted works rooted in centuries-old techniques passed down through families and communities.

In 2023, the Atrisco Heritage Foundation, a social enterprise of The Atrisco Companies, assumed stewardship of the market to strengthen its mission of cultural preservation and community investment. A key priority of this work is expanding the Youth Market, which supports young artists ages 10–21.

The Youth Market provides hands-on opportunities for emerging artists to learn traditional art forms, develop their skills, and showcase their work alongside master artists. This program helps cultivate the next generation of cultural stewards while building confidence, creativity, and economic opportunity for youth.

The market serves as both a cultural celebration and an economic driver, connecting artists with collectors, visitors, and the broader community. By investing in youth, we ensure that these traditions are not only preserved but actively passed down.

Support from partners like the Hermanowski Foundation directly strengthens the Youth Market by expanding access to materials, mentorship, and educational programming. This investment helps sustain cultural traditions, empower young artists, and ensure that New Mexico’s rich Hispanic heritage continues to thrive for future generations.

Project Title: Pediatric Behavioral Health Expansion
Project Description:

Valley Community Healthcare (VCH) is expanding its pediatric behavioral health (Ped BH) services to improve access to developmentally appropriate, family-centered care for children and caregivers in the San Fernando Valley and surrounding communities. This expansion strengthens VCH’s integrated Ped BH model, addressing emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related concerns while centering the critical role of caregivers in supporting children’s mental health and development. Evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including dyadic therapy and other family-informed modalities, are embedded within a comprehensive continuum of care that strengthens caregiver-child attachment, supports emotional regulation, and addresses behavioral health needs and trauma within the family context. Program focus areas include anxiety and depression, sleep hygiene, nutrition and mental health, mindfulness, parenting support, creative therapies (such as art and music), physical activity, and interactive coping-skills workshops. Group-based prevention and early-intervention services will promote skill-building, peer connection, and caregiver engagement, and will include referrals to supportive resources such as food security and legal services. Modest participation incentives, including grocery gift cards and light meals during afternoon and evening workshops, will help reduce access barriers and encourage consistent engagement. In parallel, VCH will strengthen psychiatric referral pathways through warm handoffs, improved patient tracking, and structured follow-up processes to enhance continuity of care for children requiring higher levels of behavioral health or psychiatric services. Grant funding will enhance therapist staffing during program ramp-up, workforce training and professional development, and care coordination infrastructure, as well as appropriate spaces specifically designed for group therapy and other appropriate modalities.
