Our boxing club is FREE for kids, ages 9-19, but before they are allowed to hit the bags they have to first hit the books. 45-60 minutes of homework is required BEFORE they are allowed in the gym. Our facility&#8217;s Academic Center is equipped with tables, chairs and education tools &#8211; monitored by volunteer tutors who connect with students and provide academic assistance, as needed. Once a child&#8217;s homework is finished to the satisfaction of the tutor, they can head into the gym to train with the head boxing coach.<br \/>\nWe are a USA Boxing Registered Club, positioned to create champions in the ring, and champions in life &#8211; bringing hope, strong adult mentorship and ending whatever social ill has fostered the condition of &quot;at-risk youth.\u201d  Since opening our doors, we have had the pleasure of working with 159 kids in our first year, 2021!<\/p>\n<p>Requested Funding<br \/>\nOur hope, in applying for your grant and partnership with the Hermanowski Foundation, is to continue to provide a free program for students. While the majority of staff work as volunteers, we hope to maintain salary of our Head Coach position &#8211; a critical aspect of our program.  Our current wage for this position is $17\/hour, but we would like to raise it this coming Fall.  A grant of $9000 for the 2022-23 school year would allow us to offer almost $18\/hour.  Our Academic Director position is already funded by a sizable grant to cover the entire salary.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $154,100<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Corporate Sponsorships:  $22K, of which $6500 is received;  Government Grants:  $6K, of which $0 is committed;  Foundations:  $62K, of which $45K is committed;  Individual Contributions:  $19K, of which $7200 is received;  Events:  $12K, of which $2,300 received;  Other Income:  $1000, of which $240 received<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 9 months (8.5, regarding this potential grant, which awards in October)<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Western Montana:  4 counties, surrounding Missoula County<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 9-19<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): <br \/>\nContact First Name: J.D.<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Partain<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 4065295610<br \/>\nContact Email: jd@missoulaboxingclub.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Missoula Boxing Club Legal Name (if Different): Missoula Boxing Club, Inc.
