Project Title: No Kid Without
Project Description:

The No Kid Without a Meal campaign addresses childhood hunger by ensuring children living at or below the poverty level have access to nutritious food over the weekend when school meals are not available. Many students rely on free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches during the school week, but when school closes on Friday, thousands of children face the uncertainty of where their next meals will come from.

Through this initiative, The Hope Movement provides NutriPacks—carefully assembled weekend meal packs filled with healthy, kid-friendly foods designed to nourish children from Friday evening through Sunday. Each NutriPack includes nutritious, easy-to-prepare items that help sustain children over the weekend so they can return to school on Monday focused, energized, and ready to learn.

NutriPacks are distributed discreetly through trusted school partners and community organizations to ensure children receive support with dignity. The program operates throughout the 36-week school year, providing consistent weekend nutrition to students who need it most.

By partnering with schools, community organizations, volunteers, and sponsors, the No Kid Without a Meal campaign mobilizes communities to address food insecurity and support the well-being of children and families. This collaborative approach ensures that children facing economic hardship have reliable access to nutritious meals beyond the classroom.

Through the No Kid Without a Meal campaign, The Hope Movement is working toward a future where no child goes hungry simply because school is not in session.

Project Title: Early Childhood WIC Farmers Market Access Initiative
Project Description:

Communities Revolutionizing Open Public Spaces (C.R.O.P.S.) seeks $10,000 to strengthen early childhood nutrition for children birth to age five through expanded WIC Farmers Market access in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Atlantic City has not had a full-service grocery store since 2006, leaving many families with limited access to fresh, affordable produce. The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) was designed to support healthy growth during pregnancy and early childhood; however, statewide data show that only 37% of WIC FMNP benefits were redeemed in FY2024. Regional data indicate similar underutilization in South Jersey, meaning a significant portion of nutrition support intended for young children goes unused.

Atlantic County has only six authorized FMNP redemption sites, and C.R.O.P.S. operates two of them within Atlantic City. By hosting a WIC-authorized farmers’ market directly inside the Atlantic City WIC Office, C.R.O.P.S. removes transportation barriers and provides families with a practical, accessible tool to redeem benefits and bring fresh fruits and vegetables home during a critical developmental window.

In 2025, the program operated for 14 weeks and generated more than 600 family visits. With Hermanowski Foundation support, C.R.O.P.S. will operate a 14-week 2026 market serving at least 45 families weekly, prioritize child-preferred fruits and vegetables, and pilot a reservation-based “Family Fruit Box” to ensure equitable access.

By increasing benefit redemption and improving produce access, this initiative supports healthy physical growth, cognitive development, and long-term well-being for approximately 400+ WIC-enrolled families with young children.

Project Title: Farm to Community: Mobile Gardening and Nutrition Education Initiative
Project Description:

Farm to Community expands Fresh Rx’s proven Farm to Patient and Farm to Kids programs by bringing hands-on nutrition education and food access directly into underserved neighborhoods via the Fresh Express mobile education van. Many children lack both access to fresh foods and basic knowledge of where food comes from. National data shows that 40% of children’s daily calories come from “empty calories,” while marketing heavily promotes sugary drinks and fast food. Locally, the challenge is compounded by limited access: one in six children in Palm Beach County struggle with hunger, and nearly 90% of public school students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Farm to Community addresses both education and access gaps by delivering garden-based learning experiences directly to children at community partner sites. The Fresh Express van functions as a fully mobile learning unit, traveling to youth-serving organizations throughout the county, eliminating barriers such as transportation, limited space, or lack of resources for on-site gardens. Regular programming will be delivered at established partner locations including Boys & Girls Clubs across Palm Beach County, three campuses of the Fuller Center, PROPEL, and eight BRIDGES Palm Beach County sites.

At each stop, participants engage in interactive activities including planting, harvesting demonstrations, sensory exploration of fruits and vegetables, and simple cooking lessons. These hands-on experiences help children understand where food comes from, increase their willingness to try fresh foods, and build practical skills for preparing healthy meals.

The program also distributes fresh produce and starter plants so participants can apply what they learn at home. Through pre- and post-assessments, Fresh Rx tracks changes in nutrition knowledge, exposure to new foods, and confidence in growing or preparing fruits and vegetables. By removing barriers and meeting young people where they are, Farm to Community builds lifelong healthy habits and expands access to nutritious food.

Project Title: Pilot Summer Camp
Project Description:

Banana Fana Preschool’s (BFP) Summer Camp Program provides high-quality, relationship-based summer care for children ages 6–12, serving both staff families and the broader community. The 10-week program is designed to support working low-income families by providing access to affordable, high-quality summer programming in a safe, nurturing environment.

The camp engages children in hands-on learning, creative exploration, teamwork, and leadership development within a small program setting organized into two age-appropriate groups, with a maximum enrollment of 12–14 participants. This structure allows for strong adult-child relationships, age-relevant activities, and individualized support that fosters belonging, confidence, and positive peer connections.

Throughout the program, children participate in meaningful real-world experiences in San Francisco, including community outings using public transportation, restaurant visits where they practice communication and independence, collaborative group projects, and friendly team competitions. The program also incorporates weekly STEM activities and sports, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, physical activity, and teamwork.
Grant funding of $10,000 is requested to directly support program quality and student experiences that would otherwise be difficult to sustain while keeping tuition affordable. Specifically, grant funds will support: Educational materials and supplies for hands-on learning, creative projects, and collaborative activities; Sports equipment that promote teamwork, physical activity, and healthy competition; Community-based learning experiences and Outing-related costs that allow children to explore their city using public transportation, including admission fees and program activities in the community; and healthy snacks and drinks. These investments allow the program to deliver a balanced summer experience that integrates STEM learning, social-emotional development, and experiential education. Children will build confidence, empathy, leadership skills, and resilience through hands-on projects, collaborative challenges, sports activities, and real-world experiences throughout San Francisco.

Grant support is essential to ensure that program costs remain accessible for families while maintaining high-quality programming. Funding will enable children to participate in enriching activities, explore their community, and develop critical life skills in a safe, joyful, and developmentally meaningful environment.

Project Title: Outdoor Learning
Project Description:

Educare Lincoln is developing a purpose-built outdoor learning environment at its new South Street expansion site to extend high-quality early education beyond the classroom and support the healthy development of young children and families. The outdoor learning space will function as an extension of the classroom, providing children with daily opportunities to explore, learn, and build critical developmental skills through nature-based play and discovery.

Designed for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, the space will include age-appropriate play structures, natural learning elements, gardens, sensory areas, and open spaces that encourage movement, curiosity, and social interaction. Outdoor learning strengthens children’s physical health, supports emotional regulation, and enhances early cognitive development through hands-on exploration of the natural world.

The space will also support Educare Lincoln’s two-generation model by creating opportunities for family engagement and community connection. Families will participate in outdoor learning activities that reinforce healthy lifestyles, environmental awareness, and positive parent–child interactions.

Educare Lincoln is partnering with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Department of Child, Youth and Family Studies to help inform best practices in early childhood outdoor learning and evaluate outcomes. Research consistently shows that nature-based learning environments improve attention, problem-solving skills, and overall well-being in young children.

By investing in this outdoor learning space, funders will help ensure that children experiencing under-resourced circumstances have access to enriching, developmentally appropriate environments that promote health, learning, and lifelong curiosity. This space will serve hundreds of children and families each year while strengthening Educare Lincoln’s ability to provide innovative, research-informed early childhood education for the Lincoln community.

Project Title: ALT In Classrooms Student-Led Theatre
Project Description:

In Classrooms aims to improve and transform the lives of children and young adults by equipping them with the tools to succeed and achieve their full potential. Theatre arts are a critical component in this work, yet arts education is often underprioritized in schools. Nomadic by strategy, In Classrooms addresses this gap directly and meets youth where they are.

In the 2024–25 school year, ALT partnered with 18 Cincinnati public schools to lead 45 cohorts serving 676 students, of whom over 90% were economically disadvantaged. Students work with ALT Teaching Artists in 5- to 16-week cohorts at their schools to write and perform original plays about issues important to them, with 5 to 10 cohorts debuting their productions at ALT’s first-annual In Classrooms Community Performance Festivals in May 2026.

ALT programming seeks to change behavior, rather than teach to a test. From start to finish, the program is a true collaboration between ALT teaching artists, classroom teachers, and guardians. In Classrooms goals include:

– Serve a minimum of 600 youth, including 500+ in Ohio’s public school system, with 80% at no cost
– 55% of participants and audience members will report increased ability to empathize with different perspectives
– 90% of participants will identify ALT programming as a safe space
– 5-10 cohorts each year will debut productions at ALT’s Students Create Change Festival

With ALT programming, Pre-K students achieved 92% measurable movement on TS GOLD Standards after just 10 hours of instruction over 5 weeks, compared to the Cincinnati regional bar of 60% movement over 52 weeks. End-of-programming surveys show 96% of students reported that the program provided a safe space, 86% reported growth in empathy, and 88% found a trusting adult. These results show that In Classrooms breaks down barriers and enables youth to reach their full potential.
