Project Title: Fresh Start Workforce and Reentry Empowerment
Project Description:

Truth Church Philadelphia serves underserved adults and returning citizens in the City of Philadelphia through structured workforce development and economic empowerment initiatives. Located adjacent to a state correctional facility, the organization is uniquely positioned to engage justice-involved individuals and families navigating reentry and reintegration into the community. This proximity allows for trusted relationships and timely workforce stabilization support for individuals seeking a fresh start.

Many adults in the surrounding community face structural barriers to gainful employment, including limited access to professional networks, gaps in digital job search skills, lack of career readiness resources, and stigma associated with prior justice involvement. These challenges significantly impact long-term economic stability and successful reintegration.

The Fresh Start Workforce & Reentry Empowerment Initiative is a structured three-month pilot designed to improve employment outcomes for approximately 20 underserved adults, including returning citizens. Participants will receive individualized career development coaching, hands-on resume creation support, assistance establishing professional LinkedIn profiles, interview preparation, and financial literacy education.

The initiative will culminate in a targeted job fair featuring local employers and workforce partners committed to equitable hiring practices. By combining structured workforce training with direct employer engagement, the program creates tangible pathways to employment and economic mobility.

Grant funding will support participant materials, coaching stipends, digital access tools, transportation assistance, and job fair logistics. Volunteer professionals and community partners will provide in-kind meeting space and facilitation support, amplifying the impact of the requested funds.

This initiative represents a scalable model designed to promote long-term economic stability and opportunity within underserved Philadelphia communities.

Total Project Budget: $5000

Project Title: Performing Arts Access Initiative
Project Description:

Certainly. Here is the revised version with no dashes used in the sentence structure. It remains under 300 words:

—

We are a semi professional theatre serving our region through two mainstage venues, presenting a full season of musicals and plays alongside an expanding slate of arts education programming and youth productions. Each year, we engage thousands of patrons, students, and families, offering high quality live performances that entertain, educate, and inspire.

To ensure these experiences are accessible to all, we are seeking philanthropic support for a focused Performing Arts Access Initiative designed to remove financial barriers to participation. While demand for live theatre remains strong, cost continues to prevent many individuals, particularly youth and families, from attending performances.

This initiative will provide reduced cost tickets across our season, significantly lower youth ticket prices to encourage early engagement with the arts, and fund bussed school visits to weekday student matinees. For many students, these matinees represent a first experience with live theatre, an opportunity that can spark creativity, build empathy, and deepen classroom learning. By covering transportation and admission costs, we ensure that schools with limited resources can participate fully.

Support for this initiative will expand equitable access to the performing arts, cultivate the next generation of theatre goers and artists, and strengthen the cultural fabric of our community. Through this investment, philanthropy becomes a direct bridge between our stage and those who might otherwise never have the opportunity to experience it.

Project Title: WFBT 26-27 Season
Project Description:

The WFBT trains and supports an audition-only pre-professional ballet company ages 11-18. The Company trains 6 days a week, and are known for their technique, performance quality, joy and love for dance, and their dedication to the craft. Our work received national recognition on the TV show "World’s Greatest!…" in February 2026 due to the exceptional dance education, connections, and opportunities we give our young dancers. We bring two main stage shows to our community each season. This upcoming season sees a return of The Nutcracker for the holiday season, a tradition in our community for over 60 years. Our Company dances all the main roles, with professional Guest Artists hired to partner with our senior dancers in the traditional pas de deux and provide them with invaluable experience and connections. Extra roles are filled in by cast members ages 6+, depending on their skill level and the needs of the show. We hold extra auditions or have sign-ups at our Dance Academy for these extra roles. Our spring show will be a conceptual show, currently titled "Rock Ballet." We are wanting to hire local musicians or an established local band to play live onstage while our dancers perform. Dancing to live music is an entirely different skillset compared to dancing with a pre-recorded track, and we feel strongly that this show will provide training our Company would not receive otherwise. Our community loves live music, and we hope to establish a working relationship with the live musicians in our area to bring audiences of live music and ballet together. We also provide one free live performance of our spring show each year to all area schools, homeschooling groups, and alternative education institutions in partnership with our local arts foundation’s Afternoon With The Arts program.

Project Title: Mentoring and Educational Supports for Children of Incarcerated Parents
Project Description:

Rhode Islanders Sponsoring Education (RISE) was founded in 1997 by two physicians caring for addicted incarcerated women at Rhode Island State Prison. They realized the women were concerned about their children and that education and other practical supports could increase protective factors for these children. RISE’s mission is to provide educational opportunities and mentoring to children of incarcerated parents to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, crime, and addiction that too often threatens them. Our goal is high school graduation for our highly disadvantaged, low-income, diverse youth. We are succeeding! RISE’s 13-year 100% high school graduation and college attrition rate demonstrates the effectiveness of our work and the determination of our students. We are helping close the wealth gap for our low-income, diverse youth. By high school graduation, our scholars can often envision career paths that lead to economic security and are accepted into colleges/universities that advance their career goals.

Today RISE is serving 114 disadvantaged children with 2 programs: 40 public school students ages 7-18 receive 1-1 mentoring with a caring, trained adult mentor and 74 children ages 9-18 receive financial assistance to attend non-public schools. Research supports mentoring as helping at-risk children avoid problem behavior and succeed emotionally, socially, and academically. For those preferring non-public school, the environment has special benefits, generally smaller than public school, academically rigorous, supportive, and a place where post-secondary education is normalized and expected. Along with tuition support (not the subject of this request), RISE provides funds for textbooks, uniforms, tutoring, bus passes, school meals, and other things as needed.

All RISE students are low-income with parental history of incarceration. Student racial diversity is 96%. Every one of our students has avoided incarceration over our 29-year history. God’iss, a 2025 graduate attending Mercyhurst University studying chemistry said, “All anyone needs is an opportunity.”

Total Project Budget: $548,311

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Though funds for FY27 are not yet committed, we expect 46% of income to come from tuition sponsors (many already committed), 22% from grants, 17% from individual gifts/donation, 9% from appeals, 5% from event income, and 1% from in-kind. Our 29-year track record of financial success speaks to our ability to raise funds, though more are needed due to rising costs and adding 15 new students in FY27.

Project Duration: FY 27 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027, funds will be applied after October 2026.)

Project Title: Joy & Confidence Kits: Portable Emotional Wellness Support for Vulnerable Children
Project Description:

The Delia Foundation respectfully submits this Letter of Inquiry to support the expansion of our Joy & Confidence Kits program serving vulnerable children with disabilities in rural Romania and low-income communities in Arizona.

Children with autism, intellectual disabilities, and trauma histories often lack access to consistent therapeutic tools outside of structured environments. Our Joy & Confidence Kits are portable wellness packages designed to reinforce emotional regulation, sensory stability, hygiene dignity, and confidence-building skills at home.

Each kit includes sensory tools, structured activity materials, hygiene items, emotional regulation aids, and age-appropriate educational supports. The kits are designed by our therapeutic staff to extend the benefits of speech therapy, occupational therapy, and social-emotional learning beyond our center walls.

We propose distributing 150 kits over 12 months to children identified as high-need through our Romanian center and Arizona partner networks. Each kit will be customized based on age and developmental level.

The program strengthens family stability, reinforces therapeutic progress, and promotes dignity for children who are often overlooked within public systems.

We welcome the opportunity to submit a full proposal outlining budget, measurable outcomes, and implementation details.

Sincerely,
Laura Larkin
Founder, The Delia Foundation

Project Title: Urban Survival Club Entrepreneurship Pipeline
Project Description:

Urban Survival Club’s Entrepreneurship Pipeline is a 12-week, cohort-based program designed to equip African American youth in Omaha with the skills, mentorship, and practical experience needed to pursue economic ownership and leadership. Serving youth ages 7-18, the program focuses on neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by poverty and limited access to wealth-building opportunities.

Participants engage in weekly workshops that combine financial literacy, business formation education, branding development, and digital commerce training. Youth learn how to build credit, understand taxes, structure a business, develop pricing strategies, and create sustainable revenue models. The program emphasizes applied learning, ensuring that participants move beyond theory into actionable business development.

Local Black entrepreneurs and business leaders serve as guest facilitators and mentors, providing culturally relevant guidance and real-world insight. Through structured business labs, youth develop a formal business plan, financial projections, brand identity, and a professional pitch presentation.

The program culminates in a community Pitch Showcase event where participants present their business concepts to local leaders and supporters. Select youth receive small startup micro-grants to pilot their ventures, reinforcing the pathway from idea to income.

This initiative promotes economic empowerment and contributes to violence prevention by increasing positive adult mentorship, strengthening leadership skills, and expanding legal income opportunities. By equipping youth with practical tools for entrepreneurship and ownership, Urban Survival Club is building economic confidence, long-term resilience, and a stronger foundation for African American youth in Omaha.

Project Title: Angel Care Program
Project Description:

Hygiene care packages will be created and disbursed to Madison County and Decatur City School system to at least 500 elementary and middle school students who live in low-income neighborhoods and lack consistent access to daily essentials. The most requested hygiene needs are soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, deodorant, and hand sanitizers. Funding will assist us with reaching more children through package distribution, program awareness, and partnerships. Our program will primarily serve low-income students in minority and disadvantaged groups who do not have access to hygiene supplies and education compared to affluent populations. Our organization will advertise services and resources to parents of elementary and middle school students who live in or come from disadvantaged neighborhoods that are eager to improve their individual hygiene and self-esteem. With over 67% of the Madison County, Alabama population consisting of minority groups, we want to give equal access to daily essentials to low-income students to bridge the gap between economic groups.
