Street Life Ministries (or SLM) began in 2001 at the downtown Menlo Park train station. Today, due to the help of many people, it now serves over 35,000 meals a year, five nights a week, in Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Redwood City. For 20 years SLM gatherings have built a reputation as the one consistent place the homeless can count on. Whether it is a holiday, a cloudy or rainy day, SLM never varies from the set schedule, giving the homeless a stable option throughout the year.

_____

SLM is an established 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a board of directors, and is very different from many “feeding ministries.” It serves a unique role in the way it cares for the homeless and the hungry in San Mateo/Santa Clara Counties. Hot, home cooked meals served in outdoor venues are less threatening for our homeless neighbors, fostering a safe environment for relational connections to develop with the SLM leaders and volunteers. These connections build trust for guiding homeless friends toward healthier decisions, medical assistance, detox, rehab, housing, mentorship and counseling. In addition to food and encouragement, SLM provides clothing, toiletry kits, sleeping bags, medical supplies, temporary shelter, recovery services and job assistance to those in need. 

SLM is also unique because it places its staff and its services “in the streets”, and “in the camps”, where the homeless live. It reaches more homeless people directly in those street locations than traditional professional service agencies. Additionally, no other homeless non-profit in the area provides local residents with the large number (over 6000 hours per year, estimated) of volunteer hours of opportunity to meet directly and be served on a face to face basis as we do. Homeless folks need love, care, trustworthy friends, and reliable, regular support to improve and/or recover. SLM is “in the trenches and on the street” every day, helping our homeless neighbors. SLM’s outreach can be accessed at all hours of the day and night. 

Street Life is working on launching a 12 month all inclusive rehab program, the Homeless to Healthy program. Check our website for more details!

Closegap is a 501(c)(3) non-profit technology company focused on making mental health resources accessible to all K-12 students.

Closegap is a nonprofit that makes it easy for schools to support the emotional health of K-12 students through daily mental health check-ins. These check-ins help kids express themselves, connect with a trusted adult, or explore self-guided social emotional learning activities. Backed by evidence-based research and developed alongside students, teachers, school counselors, social workers, and administrators, Closegap makes daily check-ins fun for students, while giving educators the information they need to provide support in real time. By combining crisis & early intervention, real-time support, mental health monitoring, and a safe, digital space for emotional discovery - Closegap makes it easy for schools to make mental health accessible to all.

THE PROBLEM 
The public perception that mental health issues are rare is incorrect. 49.5% of American youth will have had a diagnosable mental illness at some point before they are 18. 50% of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and 75% by age 24. 46% of kids in the United States have experienced at least one traumatic event. Our current system of care is inadequate. Only 50% of kids who have a mental health condition receive treatment and the average delay between the onset of symptoms and an appropriate intervention is 10 years. 

This has devastating effects on our young people and the economy. The 2nd leading cause of death for people ages 10-34 is suicide. 37% of students with a mental health condition age 14 and older drop out of school. 70% of youth in state and local juvenile systems have a diagnosable mental illness. Depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion each year in lost productivity. Those in positions to create more opportunities for youth to develop healthy attachment security and a sense of safety do not currently have access to the tools they need to do so. Children aren’t taught about emotion regulation skills, self-reflection, and how to build a reliable sense of self-esteem. Children are not supported enough when struggling with suicide ideation/self harm and trauma. We're failing children and we must do better. 

THE SOLUTION 
Schools are the most accessed mental health delivery system by children and adolescents. Of students receiving mental health services, most receive those services in schools. Students of color disproportionately receive services only at school. Schools represent an enormous opportunity to strengthen our mental health safety net around youth. By combining early & crisis intervention, real-time support, and a safe, digital space for emotional discovery, Closegap makes it easy for K-12 schools to support the emotional health of their students.

HOW CLOSEGAP IS LEADING THE WAY
Closegap created the first digital emotions check-in for schools. Now being used in over 2500 schools in all 50 states and 25 countries, Closegap is the first choice for students when it comes to sharing what they're experiencing with the important adults in their lives. Closegap grew its userbase by 12x last school year, now serves over 160,000 students, and has captured over 2.5 million check-ins since launching in September 2019. After implementing Closegap, educators have uncovered cases of self-harm, bullying and trouble at home that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.

Assisting the families of fallen killed in the line of duty.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Survivors Benefit Fund (SBF) was formed exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501 C (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The main purpose of the fund is to distribute monies for the benefit of surviving family members of Drug Enforcement Administration employees and deputized Task Force Officers who have lost their life in the line of duty and to support programs to preserve the memory of these slain employees. Our primary focus in addition to these goals is to pay for the higher education for the surviving children left behind.
In response to the escalating threat posed by narcotics trafficking and its direct ties to terrorism, the DEA has emerged as the leading enforcement agency combating drugs. Its 5,000 agents have established an outstanding reputation by aggressively investigating and arresting the most notorious and dangerous drug criminals throughout the United States and the world. Because of their unrelenting war against drugs, assaults against DEA agents occur sixteen times more frequently than against all other federal agents. Eighty-four DEA employees have been killed in the line of duty. The vast majority of these agents were survived by young children.
 
Since its creation during 1997, the DEA Survivors Benefit Fund has disbursed over
$8,000,000 to the families of DEA employees. Included in this total are death benefits to families and individual educational grants used by the children of Special Agents killed in the line of duty. The DEA Survivors Benefit Fund raises money exclusively through private donations and the Combined Federal Campaign. Currently we host numerous golf tournaments and several other events across the country.
 
The DEA Survivors Benefit Fund is not part of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) or Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but, instead, is a private 501(c)(3) organization that supports the families of DEA agents, employees, and task force officers who gave their lives in the line-of-duty.  Neither the DOJ nor DEA approves, endorses, or authorizes the Survivors Benefit Fund, its materials, or its fundraising efforts.

My Dog Is My Home's mission is to increase access to shelter and housing for people experiencing homelessness with animals.

My Dog Is My Home is a national nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to shelter and housing for people experiencing homelessness with companion animals. By securing their ability to maintain their most important relationships and find adequate shelter, we ensure every family’s right to build a home.

We assist service providers like homeless shelters in expanding their programming to allow humans and their companion animals to remain together. My Dog Is My Home’s programs currently fall into three categories: storytelling, community building, and technical assistance.

STORYTELLING
Storytelling is at the foundation of our work. We believe that people who are impacted by the problem are necessarily close to the solution. My Dog Is My Home provides a platform for people with actual lived experience of homelessness and animal companionship to share in their own words how co-sheltering people and animals together contributes to ending homelessness. Through exhibitions, speaking events, and video or narrated images, we are able to educate members of the public, program administrators, and policymakers about preserving the human-animal bond in circumstances of homelessness.

COMMUNITY BUILDING
We believe in the mantra that we are “stronger together.” My Dog Is My Home holds space for members of the homeless services and animal welfare communities to come together to connect, learn from one another, and solve mutual problems. Most notably, our community building efforts have created two related but distinct stakeholder watering holes: 

1) Annual Co-Sheltering Conference
Since 2021, My Dog Is My Home’s annual conference has drawn 400-500 people together from across disciplines to hear from homeless shelter programs about co-
sheltering models in practice, latest research in homelessness and animal companionship, and relevant policy efforts across the US and globally.

2) Co-Sheltering Collaborative
The Co-Sheltering Collaborative is a peer-to-peer learning network with membership that
spans across animal welfare and homeless services. This Collaborative meets as a large group on a quarterly basis to exchange resources, troubleshoot, and hear presentations from members on the progress of their work. In between large group meetings, working groups meet to produce deliverables that work towards collectively developed goals. The Collaborative also provides a sustained community for attendees of the annual conference.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
My Dog Is My Home also works with homeless shelters that need more hands-on assistance with developing or implementing co-sheltering. We provide customized training, consultation on policies, and resource coordination to ensure a successful co-sheltering program.

Helps entire communities become better places to live.

Our mission is to help entire communities become better places to live.  We exist because home matters.  We began with actual houses and housing preservation, focusing on quality and stability to give people a place to start.  But, there is more to a home than the house.  Home is about the life that happens in and around the house as well as the life that fuels and draws out the best of the people within it.  Beyond Housing is a community development organization that works in defined geographies like the Normandy School District in order to focus our resources where we can have the greatest impact.  While most organizations focus on one, maybe two, impact areas within a community, we understand that, in order to have a real impact, we must focus on all of the areas that make up a thriving community-housing, education, health, job readiness/access and economic development.

A house isn’t a home without a warm bed and a place to gather with family. Our home makeovers change an entire mindset, generating an immediate focus on self-empowerment and long-term stability. Humble Design sets families on a course towards a bright and hopeful future.

WHEDco’s mission is to create and bridge access in the South Bronx to resources that create thriving neighborhoods.

WHEDco is a Bronx-based community development organization founded in 1992 on the radically simple idea that all people deserve to live in healthy, vibrant communities. WHEDco builds award-winning, sustainable, affordable homes – but our work is not over when our buildings are complete. WHEDco believes that to be successful, affordable housing must be anchored in strong communities of which residents can be proud. 

Green, Affordable Homes:
Beautiful, affordable homes are the foundation for healthy and stable families. We currently provide homes for approximately 1,800 people in three mixed-use affordable housing developments in the South Bronx: Urban Horizons (opened in 1997); Intervale Green (opened in 2009); and Bronx Commons (opened in 2020). 

Education & Youth Development:
Every child deserves high-quality learning opportunities from an early age. Each year, WHEDco fosters high academic achievement for over 3,100 children from infancy to high school through our EarlyLearn NYC, Head Start, Home-Based Childcare, After School and Teen programs. 

Community & Economic Development:
Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and provide pathways toward financial security.  Each year, WHEDco helps over 500 individuals launch and operate small businesses through our Home-Based Childcare Programs, Bronx CookSpace Kitchen Incubator, and Commercial Revitalization initiatives. 

Family Support & Counseling Services:
WHEDco's wrap-around family support services link over 3,000 individuals and their families each year to the kinds of resources we all need to succeed, including health and mental health care, public benefits access and enrollment, housing and employment assistance, legal aid and immigration services, and emergency food.

Arts & Culture:
Arts and culture are essential to a community’s well-being and create a sense of pride. Last year, over 30,000 people attended virtual or in-person free and low-cost arts events and programs offered by our Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC). The BMHC will soon expand into its new home, The Bronx Music Hall, a performance venue and the cultural centerpiece of the Bronx Commons development.

Born from a natural disaster, we can maximize the support of South Florida viewers, aiding victims of many major hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, accident, terrorist attack, and other major crises where help was needed. The uniqueness of our organization is that we continue our work long after the media and government aid has ended.

Kids In Crisis International is a nonprofit organization focused on international issues. It is based in Hazelwood, NC. It received its nonprofit status in 2001.

Kids In Crisis International, Inc. is a faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization established in the year 2000. We are dedicated to changing the lives of impoverished children around the world with the love of Jesus Christ. We consider it a joy and a privilege to demonstrate the love of God by helping children and their families to break out of illiteracy, poverty, hunger, and hopelessness.

The name Kids In Crisis originated as a result of what the founders witnessed in the late 1990s in Gypsy communities in northwest Romania. They witnessed children truly in crisis. Children are so impoverished it was not unusual to see them walking barefoot in the snow. All were illiterate and hopelessness was everywhere you looked.

This endeavor is close to the Father’s heart. Luke 18:16 reads, “But Jesus called the children to Him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’ Bring the little children unto me.’” This is our call and commission to bring the Love of Jesus to children in need.

We began with a simple dream that compassionate collaboration between Jews, Christians, and Muslims can build lasting bridges of understanding and respect between our communities. By uniting to serve the poor in obedience to divine commands, our grassroots movement is showing the world that peaceful coexistence between Jews, Christians, and Muslims is not a naive and distant dream, but a growing and present reality here and now.

We envision a world where children of Abraham unite to save lives; where Jews, Christians and Muslims enjoy peaceful coexistence and mutual appreciation as our faith is deepened by meaningful encounters with each other; where understanding, humility and respect replace ignorance, arrogance and contempt; where diverse yet faithful worshipers of the God of Abraham move beyond dialogue to cooperative action, loving our neighbor together until the hungry are fed, the naked are clothed, the sick receive care and the orphan is raised with love, compassion and generosity. We envision a world where God's faithfulness to bless all nations through Abraham's offspring is expressed in wonderfully new and creative ways through Jews, Christians and Muslims striving to obey all that the prophets have spoken.

Showing Love to Children in Africa

In partnership with our families, break the cycle of childhood poverty. By seizing the motivational opportunity created by pregnancy and parenthood, HPP joins with families to help them recognize their strengths and trust in their capacity to transform their lives.

In 1989, I wrote a grant to the San Francisco Foundation to fund a project that would address an unmet public health need – prenatal care for women who were pregnant and homeless. I called it the “Homeless Prenatal Program”. The San Francisco Foundation agreed to support the project and with a staff of three we served 72 women the first year. Twenty-five years later, our name remains, but, like the first children we helped care for, we have grown and matured. Our 90 staff members now serve 3,500 clients annually – a full six percent of all San Francisco families. We have evolved into a comprehensive Family Resource Center, providing a full-range of services for families ending poverty.

Our mission is to make California and affordable place to live, work, and raise a family. 

Californians have inherited a system of high costs and underutilized land that has become a cornerstone of the ongoing homelessness, displacement, unaffordability, and racial wealth gap crises. 

California YIMBY is a community of neighbors who welcome more neighbors. We believe that an equitable California begins with abundant, secure, affordable housing. We support responsible development focused in the places people want to live in: job-rich, transit-accessible areas with good essential services and amenities. Unfortunately, building affordable, dense housing is currently illegal in the majority of California. 

By building the YIMBY movement, conducting policy research, and educating voters and legislators, we can help pass policy that could build millions of new homes in existing urban areas without displacing incumbent communities. Your donation will help us build the case and the political power to end our housing shortage and affordability crisis! 

Help us put California back on a path to economic prosperity and build inclusive, vibrant and livable communities for everyone.

DC KinCare Alliance supports the legal, financial and related service needs of relatives who raise DC children in times of crisis.

Fueled by high rates of parental incarceration, gun violence, addiction, and mental health problems, some 9,000 DC children live in homes with “relative caregivers.” DC KinCare Alliance is the only organization focused solely on serving these caregivers, who rise to the occasion when parents are not able. They often live at the margins of economic stability yet face an uphill battle in a system designed for traditional families, one that expects relatives to step in without aid. A team of lawyers works to support them (usually grandmothers; often disabled themselves), offering free legal representation and education, as well as assistance with obtaining identification and advocacy in acquiring effective health and mental health care, financial supports, and other services for the whole family. The only organization in DC focused on this population, DC KinCare Alliance helps those who have opened their homes and hearts to children in need.

Corazon de Vida Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on providing human services. 

The issue of child abuse, neglect and abandonment is a world wide issue.  According to the UN over 150 million children are abandoned and living on the streets worldwide.  In Northern Baja’s area of Mexico alone, over 6,000 children live on the streets or under dangerous/abusive situations, and thousands more live in extreme poverty.  Mexico currently does not have the social programs that we have in the U.S., no foster care programs, no welfare system, so the only way to care and support children in need is through a network of private orphanages, funded entirely through individual and corporate donations.

Corazon de Vida (CDV) is a 20+ year US 501c3 non-profit organization providing life-changing support for orphaned and abandoned children in Baja, Mexico by funding local orphanages, providing quality of life improvement services and investing in the children’s future by funding higher education.

Through our life-sustaining program we provide monthly funding for the orphanages under our care. These orphanages give abandoned children security, nutrition, shelter and access to a reliable education. We also fund scholarships for teens aging out of the orphanage system to continue their education. We provide consistent, monthly support to 10+ orphanages, housing over 500 children. Our university program currently has 45+ past orphanage residents in college or technical school, and serving as role models to their younger ‘siblings’.
