Grant Recipients 2020 January - May
Project WeHope
WeHOPE’s Mobile Homeless Services meet the needs of the homeless where they are through initiatives that include access to free showers, laundry, safe parking for vehicle dwellers, virtual medical assessments and comprehensive case management to assist in securing permanent housing.
Truckee Elementary Schools
Truckee Elementary School would be grateful to apply for funding support for an after school math tutoring program to provide additional support to carefully selected third, fourth, and fifth grade students who are very close to but not yet meeting proficiency on state math standards. This math tutoring program is particularly special because we plan to identify local students from Truckee High School who would benefit from earning a scholarship for being a committed, successful tutor! We are a Title 1 public school within the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District.
Maitri
Maitri is a free, confidential, nonprofit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area that helps families and individuals, primarily from South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives) facing domestic violence, emotional abuse, cultural alienation, or family conflict. Maitri’s mission is to empower South Asian survivors of domestic violence to lead lives of dignity and self-sufficiency through holistic programs, and enable healthy relationships and gender equity through community education, engagement, and advocacy.
Environmental Volunteers
At Environmental Volunteers, we inspire people of all ages to learn about the wonders of the natural world. We train volunteers (like you!) to lead hands-on science and nature programs in schools, community organizations, and at the EcoCenter in the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve.
We offer School Programs to K-6 classrooms in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Our hands-on curriculum meets State of California science education requirements. Our volunteers bring hands-on learning programs to over 10,000 students each year. In the classroom, our volunteers lead hands-on learning stations in small groups. On follow-up field trips, students discover natural science concepts through guided hikes to local nature preserves.
