OPPORTUNITY Together, we do more. Humboldt Area Foundation 2017 | 2018 Foundation Area Humboldt H A F 2017 | 2018 Generosity, applied strategically, accomplishes great things. In 2017 and 2018 the Humboldt Area Foundation helped connect people and resources to carry on our mission of promoting and encouraging generosity, leadership and inclusion to strengthen our communities. We are pleased to share these stories from a year of collaboration, growth and promise. In Crescent City, Reverend Daphane Lynn Williams used funding from a Consulting Grant to open doors for women struggling to rebuild their lives after incarceration. (page 15) In Arcata, Stephanie McCaleb found a way to make natural beauty and environmental stewardship her legacy. (page 23) In Trinity County, funders and volunteers pooled their resources to help a vital local food bank expand its warehouse and ability to fight hunger. (page 31) And in McKinleyville, the Native Cultures Fund supported the efforts of the Native Women’s Collective in offering regalia-making workshops so young women could proudly take part in coming-of-age ceremonies, cultural demonstrations and community events. (page 139) These are only a few of the stories we hope you enjoy in this year’s yearbook, showcasing the good work and good people in Humboldt, Trinity, Del Norte and Curry counties. Thank you for making an impact in our PHOTO BY: CKC IMAGES communities.

PHOTO BY: DAVID PRICE Thinking Ahead. Acting Now. In our personal or business lives, having money set aside for unexpected events or a unique opportunity can make all the difference in the world. It’s the same for us at the Foundation. The majority of our funds, around 90%, are earmarked by our donors for grants to long-term interests like scholarships, the arts, animal welfare, healthcare, or designated funds for individual organizations. While we remain committed to continue building these kinds of funds that add to the quality of life in Humboldt, Trinity, Del Norte and Curry counties, not everything can be planned. That’s why our board of directors, through engaged local leadership, is committed to growing the Opportunity Fund. Whether it’s a grant for an emerging economic development opportunity, or building our communities’ capacity to address equity issues, the Opportunity Fund is an innovative way to make it happen. Join us by supporting a tested strategy built around nimble, flexible, and responsive local funding.

    The NHS Is a Health System Not a Charity. It Should Be Funded Accordingly, Writes Rebecca Richards

    The NHS is a health system not a charity. It should be funded accordingly, writes Rebecca Richards He walked his way into the hearts of a nation – one lap of his garden at a time. In doing so, 100-year-old – soon to be Sir – Captain Tom Moore raised a staggering £29million for the NHS.[1] While perhaps the most publicised, he is not the only private citizen helping the NHS respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. The ‘Run for Heroes’ Challenge – whereby social media users run 5km, donate £5, and nominate five of their friends to do the same – has raised more than £5million in less than a month.[2] And all over the country, people are sewing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline healthcare workers that are lacking adequate safety equipment.[3] But the heart-warming response these extraordinary feats of solidarity and good-will elicit in us can also obscure the fact that the NHS should not need this level of support. As an anonymous NHS doctor recently pointed out, ‘The NHS is not a charity’.[4] The NHS is a healthcare system. It is therefore the government’s responsibility to fund, staff, and supply it so that it can effectively respond to a pandemic that was not entirely unexpected.[5] [6] It is a responsibility the government has arguably failed to fulfill adequately. Though not alone in its enforcement of austerity measures over the past decades, [7] the government’s economic policies left the NHS under pressure even before the pandemic broke out.[8] Between 2010 and 2014, for example, the real-term annual increase in NHS England funding was only 1.3%, down from historical annual growth rates of approximately 4%.[9] This has been associated with nearly 120,000 preventable deaths in England during this time period.[10] And though the government committed to increasing NHS funding in 2018,[11] this – and subsequent government funding increases – has not been enough to ‘reverse years of health underfunding’.[12] When the magnitude of the Covid-19 crisis became clear, the NHS was therefore not fully prepared.

    The Right Thing to Do: Returning Land to the Wiyot Tribe

    THE RIGHT THING TO DO: RETURNING LAND TO THE WIYOT TRIBE by Karen Elizabeth Nelson A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts In Sociology May, 2008 THE RIGHT THING TO DO: RETURNING LAND TO THE WIYOT TRIBE by Karen Elizabeth Nelson Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee: Jennifer Eichstedt, Committee Chair Date Elizabeth Watson, Committee Member Date Judith Little, Committee Member Date Jennifer Eichstedt, Graduate Coordinator Date Chris Hopper, Interim Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT THE RIGHT THING TO DO: RETURNING LAND TO THE WIYOT TRIBE Karen Elizabeth Nelson In 2004, the Eureka City Council legally returned forty acres of Indian Island to the Wiyot tribe. This return occurred one hundred and forty four years after the Indian Island massacre. This research explores the returning of sacred tribal land in the context of collective apologies and reconciliations after generations of Native genocide. The significance of this case study includes a detailed narration of how the land transfer occurred and more importantly why it was labeled “the right thing to do” by Eureka City Council members and staff. This case study was examined with a grounded theory methodology. Using no hypotheses, the research and the research methodology unfolded in a non-linear process, letting the research speak for itself. Detailed interviews and a review of documents were used to qualify and quantify this unique community based social act. The results of this case study include how and why the Eureka City Council returned forty acres of Indian Island to the Wiyot people.

    Part I: Introduction “Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” -Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776) “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.” -Patrick Henry (1776) “I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.” -William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator (1831) “Gas is running low . .” -Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) 1 2 Dear Reader, Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • Captain Tom Moore

    Captain Tom Moore

    Captain Tom Moore Captain Tom Moore is the war veteran who made headlines around the world in mid-April 2020, when he pledged to raise money for the National Health Service (NHS), by walking 100 laps around his garden before his 100th birthday on April 30th. The Challenge Captain Tom has long been a supporter of the NHS. He spent some time in hospital after a hip replacement a few years ago and has been following the news about the NHS, who have been working hard to treat patients during the COVID-19 crisis. He decided to set himself the challenge of completing 100 laps of his 25 metre garden, walking 10 laps each day, finishing before his 100th birthday. Captain Tom hoped to raise £1000 for NHS Charities Together. Worldwide Support Captain Tom’s challenge was reported by his local news and word soon spread about his amazing effort. People very quickly took Captain Tom to their hearts and his story was shared more widely, including on the national news. More and more people donated money from all over the world. Within a day, Captain Tom had exceeded his target. Captain Tom completed his 100 laps two weeks before his birthday, so decided to increase the number of laps he walked to 200. More Fundraising To help celebrate Tom reaching 100 laps, singer Michael Ball, the NHS Voices of Care Choir and Captain Tom released a version of the song ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, which was number one in the singles charts on 24th April. Captain Tom is the oldest person ever to reach number one and the single is the fastest selling of 2020 so far.
