Project Title: Transforming the lives of children with motor disabilities through conductive education
Project Description:

For almost 30 years, the Conductive Learning Center of North America (CLC) has served children and young adults with motor disabilities through the conductive education method. Conductive education is an educational physical rehabilitation approach that originated in Hungary which combines medical knowledge and classroom teaching techniques to help participants gain more mobility and control of their bodies, allowing them to perform crucial tasks like sitting independently in a chair, tying their shoes, preparing meals and eating without assistance, getting dressed, and even walking – all activities necessary for daily living.
CLC’s programs are taught in a peer-group setting and help students develop confidence, step-by-step goal-setting skills, and self-determination. Developing these skills helps improve the quality of life for students living with disabilities, but also positively impacts students’ families. This impact is felt when a child begins to walk, feed themselves, use their voice and body to communicate, and lessens the need for supportive equipment, specialty diets, and full-time caregivers.
The goal of conductive education at CLC is for students to achieve their “optimal physical, cognitive, and social independence” so that they can live life more freely and achieve their full potential.
Through CLC, many students experience life-changing results and go on to attend college, have full-time careers, and be active members of the community – dreams they were once told would be impossible due to their limitations.
We passionately believe that conductive education is the best option for students with a motor disorder because of its whole body, comprehensive approach that not only focuses on physical development, but also social, cognitive, and communication skills. Students and their families have witnessed firsthand the transformational effects of conductive education and many tote CLC as the reason their child can be so active, social, and happy in life.

Project Title: Camp Jamison 2026: A Summer of Peacebuilding and Leadership for Philadelphia Youth
Project Description:

Camp Jamison is a Philadelphia-rooted overnight summer camp serving youth ages 8–15, many of whom have been directly impacted by community violence, grief, and systemic inequities. Our program brings young people out of the city and into a peaceful, nature-based environment where they can build relationships, experience joy, and develop leadership skills that stay with them long after the summer ends.

During our 2026 summer program, campers will spend one to two weeks participating in activities such as swimming, boating, arts, group challenges, and daily community circles grounded in restorative practices. These circles are a core part of our model, giving campers a structured space to process emotions, build trust, and practice nonviolent communication.

What makes Camp Jamison unique is our leadership pipeline. Many of our staff are former campers who return to mentor the next generation, creating a consistent and trusted community for youth who often lack stable support systems.

Funding from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will directly support camper access and program costs, ensuring that cost is not a barrier for families. Our goal is to serve approximately 150 campers in 2026, with a focus on youth from Philadelphia neighborhoods most impacted by violence.

This is not just a week at camp. For many of our campers, it is a rare opportunity to feel safe, seen, and hopeful about their future.

Project Title: Revels Kids After-School Workshops
Project Description:

Washington Revels is requesting a grant to offer the Revels Kids after-school workshop program in 3 additional locations in FY2027. The after-school pilot workshops were successfully launched in Fall 2025, and offered in James Daly and Sequoyah Elementary schools, and Concord St. Andrews Church in Maryland.

The 10-class after-school workshop sessions engage students (15 per session) in grade 1-5 through creative arts classes to discover connections between nature, arts, science, geography and diverse global traditions. Our goal is to bring the program to elementary schools (with a specific endeavor to engage Title 1 schools) and local recreation centers to reach underserved children.

There is a pressing need to close the gap in developmental and educational opportunities for students in communities where schools may lack resources in areas such as the arts, culture, science, and geography. This program helps meet that need by offering a safe, supervised, and supportive environment during out-of-school hours—one that nurtures learning among children, strengthens essential soft skills such as collaboration, communication, and self-confidence, and provides them with the necessary tools to achieve their full potential.

Curricula highlights include:
Interactive object-based program; inspired by Smithsonian methodology.
Science: changing of seasons, life cycles, biologic relationships.
Creative Arts: dance, drama, music, interactive games, improvisation.
Geography: exploring the world through a cultural/storytelling lens.
Literature: draw from existing stories, myths, songs, while encouraging new creations.
Visual Arts: production of costume materials, setting, and sometimes props.
Leadership and collaborative skills reinforced.

We will assess program effectiveness using the following indicators: number of participants, number of community-based organizations engaged, number of community-based venues used, number of class sessions, attendance records and teaching artists’ evaluations of student growth.

The program will benefit children by providing them with the opportunity to experience diverse cultural traditions and open their minds and creative spirit.

Project Title: Nutritional Education and Health Snack options
Project Description:

The Barton Center for Diabetes Education seeks support to enhance the availability of healthy snack options and expand nutrition education for children living with insulin-dependent diabetes who attend our residential and day camp programs. Effective diabetes management requires a careful balance of insulin, physical activity, and nutrition. For children, especially in active camp settings, access to appropriate snacks and real-time education is critical to maintaining safe blood glucose levels and building lifelong self-management skills.

This project will support the procurement of nutrient-dense, diabetes-appropriate snacks used for daily consumption and for the treatment of hypoglycemia. Snacks will be thoughtfully selected to model balanced nutrition, reinforce carbohydrate awareness, and provide safe options during periods of increased physical activity. In addition, funding will support the development and delivery of structured, age-appropriate nutrition education led by a qualified nutrition professional. Topics will include carbohydrate counting, portioning, timing of snacks, and how to make informed food choices in a variety of real-world settings.

Camp provides a unique environment where children can immediately apply what they learn. Throughout each session, campers practice reading labels, dosing insulin based on food intake, and understanding how nutrition impacts their blood glucose levels—skills that are reinforced through hands-on experiences and supported by medical staff.

Total Project Budget: 20000

Other Funding

Project Title: Field Trips for All (FTFA)
Project Description:

Field Trips for All (FTFA) is Explore Foundation’s flagship and sole program, created to ensure that children and youth in under-resourced schools can access the kind of real-world learning experiences too often reserved for more affluent communities. Founded in 2022, Explore is the only nonprofit in the Kansas City region solely dedicated to fully funding and coordinating equitable, curriculum-aligned field trips. Through FTFA, students do not simply leave the classroom for a day; they encounter science, history, art, nature, financial literacy, and civic life in ways that make learning tangible, memorable and deeply human.

FTFA is built on the simple but powerful idea that teachers know what their students need. Educators propose experiences connected to classroom goals and curriculum, and Explore removes the barriers that would otherwise make those opportunities impossible by covering admissions, transportation, and related access costs while also helping coordinate logistics. This support is especially critical in Title I schools, where field trips are often among the first learning opportunities cut from already-stretched budgets.

In 2024/2025 alone, FTFA supported 40 field trips for 3,263 students across 25 schools in 11 districts. Seventy-six percent of schools served were Title I, 59.1% of participating students qualified for free or reduced-price meals, 30.2% were English Language Learners, and 16.3% were students with disabilities. Teachers consistently report stronger engagement, greater confidence, and deeper connections between classroom content and students’ lives after these experiences.

FTFA is more than a field trip fund; it is a practical, equity-centered model for helping young people discover possibility, belonging, and future pathways. Since launch, Explore has grown from serving 926 students in 2022/2023 to 3,263 in 2024/2025, demonstrating both extraordinary demand and proof of concept. With continued investment, FTFA holds enormous potential to scale far beyond Kansas City as a replicable nationwide model for educational access and child development.
