Our mission is to inspire creativity, build confidence, and nurture emotional well-being through high-quality visual and media arts experiences for ages 7\u201312.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2018 and set to relaunch this year with expanded offerings, the program operates in partnership with local schools and libraries to ensure accessibility for families facing geographic and economic barriers. Many of the children we serve come from low-income or single-parent households and would otherwise have no access to arts instruction or mentorship.<\/p>\n<p>Our curriculum combines foundational art skills\u2014drawing, painting, digital illustration, storytelling, and basic animation\u2014with social-emotional learning and youth empowerment. Students are guided by experienced professional artists and mentors in small-group sessions that foster both technical growth and self-expression.<\/p>\n<p>Measurable outcomes for each 12-session program cycle include:<br \/>\n\t\u2022\t100% of enrolled students completing an original art portfolio<br \/>\n\t\u2022\t80% demonstrating increased skills in drawing and composition (pre\/post evaluation)<br \/>\n\t\u2022\t90% showing improved confidence and creative problem-solving, as reported by parents and teachers<br \/>\n\t\u2022\tCommunity art exhibition and digital gallery to showcase student work<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to cultivate joy, resilience, and creative thinking\u2014skills that empower children far beyond the classroom. With your support, we can expand access to this vital programming and help ensure that rural, underserved children are not left behind when it comes to arts education and mentorship.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more and view our student galleries and videos, please visit: www.BlessTheChildrenProject.com\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 22,500<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Other grants applied, private donations<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: Entire school year<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Mount Shasta and the area<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 60<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Baruch<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Inbar<br \/>\nContact Title: Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 5122227824<br \/>\nContact Email: Baruch@snaut.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: BLESS THE CHILDREN PROJECT Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: 704 South Old Stage Rd. #13 City: Mount Shasta State: CA Postal Code: 96067 Main Phone: 5122227824 Main Fax: Organization Website: WWW.BlessTheChildrenProject.com Employer ID Number: 33-4055256 Organization Tax Status: 501 c 3 tax exempt [&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-8459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8459","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=8459"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8460,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8459\/revisions\/8460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
