Project Description:

BHI project wants to Benevolent Hearts, Incorporated, is requesting $10,000 in grant funds from the Hermanowski Foundation to expand and enhance its current programming for youth and families in Little Rock, Arkansas. The organizations need funds for capital items which allow the volunteers and staff to be compensated by other funding opportunities.The mission of Benevolent Hearts is to encourage and enable youth to become positive, responsible, and contributing members of the local community by “Touching One Heart at A Time”. Benevolent Hearts, Incorporated is located at 6516 Elmore Road in Little Rock, Arkansas. For all its challenges, southwest Little Rock (SWLR) remains a vibrant community, younger than much of the rest of the city with a large number of young children. According to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission SWLR is home to 37,976 people. Sixty-three percent of the population is black compared with 43% in greater Little Rock. Its Hispanic population makes up 12% of the community compared with 3% in greater Little Rock. The mix gives SWLR a “unique combination of cultures, customs, faith and families.” Many Little Rock residents have the belief that SWLR is a dangerous, dirty and destitute part of the City and has been both economically and emotionally devastated. Benevolent Hearts has identified three risk factors among the youth in SWLR: Alienation and rebelliousness and friends who engage in problem behavior.
