  • Teen Philanthropists Award $33900 in Grants to Eight Nonprofits
    FOR RELEASE: CONTACT: Alex Jacobs June 10, 2016 Marketing and Communications Officer (858) 279-2740 [email protected] TEEN PHILANTHROPISTS AWARD $33,900 IN GRANTS TO EIGHT NONPROFITS SECURING THE ESSENTIAL NEEDS FOR AT-RISK YOUTH SAN DIEGO – June 10, 2016 – The board of the Jewish Teen Foundation of San Diego (JTF), following a year-long experiential learning program about philanthropy, granted a total of $33,900 to eight nonprofits working to address essential needs for at-risk youth. JTF hosted a Community Check Presentation Ceremony celebrating the 2015-16 grantees and the teen participants on May 15. During the 2015-16 school year, twenty-five San Diego Jewish high schoolers collaborated to assess community needs, learn about nonprofit organizations and identify opportunities to effect change through strategic philanthropy. As a result, they awarded grants to ELEM/Youth in Distress in Israel, Just in Time for Foster Youth, Jewish Federation of San Diego, Monarch School, North County Lifeline, Reality Changers, Voices for Children and Yemin Orde Youth Village. Notable to this year’s grantmaking focus, the JTF program officers decided the best way to invest in these organizations was to fund infrastructure to ensure organizational sustainability. “What JTF participants are doing is very smart and forward thinking,” said Jeremy Pearl, Acting President and CEO of the Jewish Community Foundation. “They are helping to give voice to the narrative that strong infrastructure means a strong organization. JTF is a program of the Jewish Community Foundation (JCF) of San Diego, which has a 19-year history of providing philanthropy education programs designed uniquely for teens.

  • 2000 Vw Beetle Radio Code the Name Eos Was Derived from Eos , the Greek Goddess of the Dawn
    2000 vw beetle radio code The name Eos was derived from Eos , the Greek goddess of the dawn. However, a limited number of base trim models were sold as models of in the United States. Unlike the Cabrio, which was a convertible version of the Golf hatchback, the Eos was a standalone model with all new body panels, although it shared the platform and components from the Volkswagen Golf Mk5. The wheelbase matches the Golf Mk5 and Jetta. The Eos incorporates into its five piece folding roof an integrated and independently sliding glass sunroof — making the Eos the only retractable hardtop of this kind. The roof folds automatically into the trunk in twenty five seconds, thereby reducing trunk space from The design of the roof system is complex with its own hydraulic control system and numerous rubber seals. Periodic maintenance must be done to keep the seals conditioned so that they function properly. Proper body alignment is critical for proper top function. A facelifted Volkswagen Eos appeared in October , and went on sale as a model of outside Europe. This facelift includes a revised front and rear fascias, headlights and tail lights, side mirrors, as well as new wheel designs. The White Night edition was a special edition with custom wheels, custom black interior and a black and white colour scheme package. Other features include black mirror covers, radiator grille and trim strips, black Nappa leather seats, door and side trim and black steering wheel with light coloured seams, trim strips and radio trim in candy white, sill panel strips with white night letters.

  • Global Youth Philanthropy Summit
    YOUTH COMMUNITY PHILANTHROPY Global Summit Report 2014 Published October 2014 For Youth and Community Charles Stewart Mott believed that every person exists in a kind of informal partnership with his or her community. He recognized that both can reach their full potential only if they are thriving together. That’s why the Mott Foundation supports institutions that help to build strong relationships between individuals and their communities. Over the past 35 years, we’ve invested more than $150 million in the development of community foundations and in community philanthropy. Recently, we supported a series of projects marking the 100th anniversary of community foundations, including the Global Youth Community Philanthropy Summit. As community foundations enter into their next century, we believe that engaging youth in philanthropy will be vital to the field’s continued success and relevance. The Global Summit provided the opportunity for young people from around the world to forge new connections, share fresh ideas and learn from each other. My hope is that this process continues. As the Mott Foundation has learned from decades of work in the field, global connections and learning definitely lead to community-level improvement. We offer thanks to the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Council on Foundations for organizing the Summit and, most important, to the participants for joining us and sharing. Nicholas S. Deychakiwsky Program Officer, Civil Society The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation The spirit of generosity and collaboration is alive in young people around the world. In convening the Global Youth Community Philanthropy Summit, we had the opportunity to capture the voices and experiences of youth philanthropy participants, practitioners and thought leaders.

  • The State of Youth Philanthropy 2020 – 2021
    SOCIAL JUSTICE FUNDERS OPPORTUNITY BRIEF The State of Youth Philanthropy No.7 2020 – 2021 By Sheryl Seller and Katherine Ponce The Effects of COVID-19 on Youth Grantmaking Programs: An Introduction Youth philanthropy and youth grantmaking programs bring together young people, typically from a defined community, school system , or region to learn about social problems and make funding decisions. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to abrupt changes in the way that these young people and program leaders work, learn, engage, and live. As we transitioned to virtual learning and programming, youth philanthropy programs also had to pivot. Further, as we moved through Spring 2020, it became clear we would not simply be going back to “normal” in Fall 2020 or for months thereafter. At the Sillerman Center, we have long researched the ways in which youth philanthropy programs thrive, how they support and give power to young people, and how they can and should be a model for democratizing the philanthropic sector. Our past research focused on these programs more broadly, in From Beneficiary to Active Agent: How Youth-Led Grantmaking Benefits Young People, Their Communities, and the Philanthropic Sector.1 Photo: Philadelphia Foundation, YOUTHadelphia 1 See “From Beneficiary to Active Agent: How Youth-Led Grantmaking Benefits Youth People, Their Communities, and the Philanthropic Sector,” by Sheryl Seller, 2018, The Sillerman Center for the Advancement of Philanthropy (https://heller.brandeis.edu/sillerman/pdfs/opportunity-briefs/youth-led-grantmaking.pdf) Action Council Photo: Midland Area Community Foundation, Midland AREA Youth AREA Area Community Foundation, Midland Photo: Midland In furthering this work, we asked, “How might youth philanthropy democratize the sector of philanthropy as a whole?” This question can be investigated by considering how the field of philanthropy can shift power and how young people see problems in their communities and understand themselves as change makers.
