We have been providing advice to younger generations for over 22 years. We have answered over 500,000 requests for advice. We know that families with children are stressed; young people living in poverty are stressed; and teens struggle with anxiety and depression. Our Elders answer advice letters via our website where advice-seekers submit an email about their challenge, and elders respond to them with a free, confidential, personalized response based on their own life experiences. As an all-virtual organization, we receive requests from across the US.<\/p>\n<p>We know from research on human development that social-emotional wellness is built through positive relationships with important people in our lives. We are social beings who need to be in caring relationships to thrive. When young people receive nonjudgmental and caring advice from a compassionate adult, they can pause, reflect, and use their skills to regulate their emotions, which in turn helps them in family and community relationships.<\/p>\n<p>The demand for our work continues to stay at a high level but we know we are not reaching all the young people who can benefit. EWC wants to be the free \u201cgo-to\u201d provider of free, caring, nonjudgmental advice, educating and supporting young advice-seekers in meeting their non-acute mental health needs and flourishing in their lives. This grant request would support increased organizational capacity to create and distribute our brand mechanisms that would allow EWC to expand its work to reach more young people.\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $12,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Major Donor to Elder Wisdom Circle: $4,000<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 12 months<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: United States<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 16-25<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Ms<br \/>\nContact First Name: Sara Jane<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Lowry<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 412-821-0242<br \/>\nContact Email: sarajane@elderwisdomcircle.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Elder Wisdom Circle Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: EWC Mailing Address: 734 Tampico City: Walnut Creek State: California Postal Code: 94598 Main Phone: 4128210242 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/elderwisdomcircle.org Employer ID Number: 20-0609575 Organization Tax Status: 501 (c) 3 Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 03\/15\/2024 Requested [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5431"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5432,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5431\/revisions\/5432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
