Doing what we can to help amplify educational access for all students 

My Private Professor Foundation's mission is to expand access to high-quality tutoring to students experiencing homelessness. 

My Private Professor Foundation is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of My Private Professor LLC, & was created with the mission of expanding access to consistent, high-quality, individualized, academic support to students experiencing homelessness & in underserved communities across the country.

For over 9 years, My Private Professor’s philanthropic efforts have evolved to best meet the needs of the students we serve in underserved communities, from donating funds to advance the efforts of educational nonprofits, to providing grants for enrichment classes & academic workshops, to sponsoring tutoring hours to students residing in shelters.

Education is a game-changer in uplifting the next generation, & tutoring is one of the best ways to positively impact educational outcomes. Sadly, students experiencing homelessness face multiple barriers that negatively impact their educational journeys.

Paying our tutors to provide exceptional free tutoring to students experiencing homelessness has made a meaningful difference in the lives of so many, in terms of increased grades, understanding of the subject matter, & confidence.

Indeed, our greatest challenge is trying to meet the accelerating demand for more tutoring hours for more students in need.

This 501(c)(3) charitable arm enables philanthropic leaders & organizations to join forces with us to provide more tutoring for those who need it most.

Together, we will amplify access & uplift potential.

Julianas Animal Sanctuary Inc is a nonprofit organization focused on advocating or providing services for animals. It is based in Edmonds, WA. It received its nonprofit status in 2015.

**🌱 Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary – Love All. Serve All.**

**Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary** is Colombia’s first and only legally registered animal sanctuary, founded with a mission to protect the most vulnerable animals and educate the public on compassion, sustainability, and nonviolence. Nestled in the Andes Mountains just outside Bogotá, we offer a safe, loving home to more than 100 rescued animals—each with their own story of resilience and hope.

From abused cows and abandoned pigs to rescued dogs, sheep, rabbits, and chickens, our sanctuary is a living testament to the power of love and second chances.

**🐄 Who We Are**

Founded in 2006 by **Juliana Castañeda**, a passionate animal advocate and certified nutritionist, Juliana’s Animal Sanctuary began as a humble act of love and has grown into a nationally recognized safe haven for farm animals in Colombia.

Juliana works alongside her husband, **Paul Rodney Turner** (founder of Food for Life Global), and a small but dedicated team to care for the animals, manage the sanctuary, and spread a message of compassion throughout Latin America and beyond.

We operate as a **registered nonprofit charity** in Colombia and as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States. Our work is 100% funded by donors who believe in a kinder world for all beings.

**🐷 What We Do**

**🛟 Animal Rescue & Sanctuary**

We rescue animals from abuse, neglect, slaughterhouses, and factory farms. Every resident receives:

- A safe, peaceful environment
- Daily food and fresh water
- Veterinary care and medication
- Companionship, play, and affection

**📚 Education & Advocacy**

We believe change begins with awareness. Our public outreach includes:

- School programs and educational tours
- Online content promoting veganism and animal rights
- Workshops and community events focused on conscious living

**🌍 Community Impact**

We collaborate with educators, animal rights organizations, and local leaders to:

- Promote environmental sustainability
- Inspire kindness and nonviolence in youth and families
- Challenge speciesism

**🐾 Why Our Work Matters**

While companion animals like dogs and cats are slowly gaining legal protection in Colombia, farm animals remain invisible victims of cruelty and neglect. At Juliana’s Sanctuary, we make their stories visible. We give them names, we share their journeys, and most importantly—we give them **the right to live**.

These animals are not food, machines, or commodities. They are sentient beings who deserve to live in peace. We are here to honor that truth and inspire others to do the same.

**✨ Impact at a Glance**

- 🐮 Over 200 animals rescued since 2006
- 🍃 Hundreds of vegan education sessions in schools and communities
- 🎓 Trained dozens of local and international interns and volunteers
- 📣 Reached millions globally with a message of compassion
- 🇨🇴 Colombia’s first and only certified farm animal sanctuary

Your support powers everything we do—from feeding our animals to expanding our outreach. Here’s how you can get involved:

**💵 Become a Monthly Donor**

Recurring donations help us provide consistent, quality care and plan for the future. Even $10/month makes a huge impact.

**🧡 Sponsor an Animal**

**🛠️ Volunteer or Fundraise**

We welcome both in-person and remote volunteers. Have skills in writing, fundraising, digital marketing, or animal care? We’d love to hear from you!

**🌿 A Vision for the Future**

We dream of building a **model vegan education center** on our sanctuary land—complete with workshops, retreats, and school visits. A place where children can meet animals as friends, not food. Where compassion is cultivated, and where the next generation of changemakers can be inspired.

With your help, this dream is possible.

Providing a Safe Haven, Free Shelter to Abandon Visually Impaired Girls in Delhi, India

Empowering visually impaired girls was one of the prime objectives behind establishing the Blind Welfare Society as there is a dearth of organizations working for the betterment of visually impaired girls in India. We affirm that visually impaired young girls and women are more vulnerable and thus need extra support. It is our endeavor to create an environment where the lack of money or opportunities does not make blind girl’s situation worse.

Blind welfare society strongly resents any action which could show the visually impaired people as disabled. Blindness is just the physical loss of eyesight, nothing more. Blind people are like everyone else, and can be expected to perform on a par. BWS has a crucial role to play in creating a world where there are no barriers to people with sight loss. We strive to increase the independence, access to education, equal opportunity, social security and quality of life for people with vision loss.

We have continued to expand our programs and services to meet the needs of the community we serve.

Blind Welfare Society is a registered non-government voluntary Organization.

Mutual aid organization supporting neighbors in Washington DC, Ward 2.

[Click here to join our newsletter to get updates and get involved](https://subscribepage.io/sHh86L)

What is Mutual Aid?

**Mutual aid is “cooperation for the sake of the common good.” It’s getting people to come together to meet each other’s needs, recognizing that as humans, our survival is dependent on one another.**

Mutual Aid is a practice and politics that emphasizes solidarity rather than charity. It means we recognize that our well-being, health and dignity are all bound up in each other. It means that we understand our survival depends on cooperation, not competition. In this particular moment, we see that our health is also dependent on other people’s health, and we can literally save each other’s lives. Rather than disengage and feel powerless, mutual aid allows us to plug in where we can make the most impact — locally.

Mutual aid IS...

- Getting people together in your community to provide material support to each other
- Building relationships with your neighbors based on trust and common interest
- Making decisions by consensus rather than relying on authority and hierarchy
- Sharing things rather than hoarding things
- Treating no one as disposable
- Providing all kinds of support, ranging from food prep to childcare to translation to emotional support, and recognizing the value of all of them
- A political education opportunity, where we build the relationships and analysis to understand why we are in the conditions that we're in
- Preparation for the next disaster (natural or economic). Next time around we'll already have relationships with each other and know who is vulnerable and needs support
- A great jumping off point for other kinds of organizing and movement work

Mutual aid IS NOT...

- Quid pro quo transactions
- Only for disasters or crises
- Charity or a way to "save" people
- A reason for a social safety net not to exist

DC Mutual Aid Network

The DC Mutual Aid Network (DCMA) is a grassroots community-led effort looking to take care of each other and keep our city as safe as possible.

- DCMA is a decentralized, community-led effort, so there is no single group that runs the network.
- There are autonomous groups for Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Wards 7 & 8 are served together by one group.
- The DCMA Network is governed by the ward groups on topics of social media, website, fundraising, etc. The groups also share resources, best practices and offer referrals to other groups.

Ward 2 Efforts

Ward 2 Mutual Aid is part of the larger DCMA Network. Our concrete activities are:

- **Hotline** - Volunteers staff our warmline, where Ward 2 residents can call and request assistance.
- **Groceries** - We provide a grocery bag delivery to ~150 families that request it through our hotline or building captains. The bags include fresh produce, protein, dry goods, and requested household items.
- **Encampment Outreach** - We organize a supply drop to ~120 unhoused neighbors.
- **Building captains** - We organize with local residents to utilize their leadership and relational networks. Building captains check on neighbors, relay needs, and assist with food donations and distribution.
- **Back to school** - We organize with local parents to host a book and clothing swap.
- **Support for high risk/immuno-compromised individuals** - We have been partnering with local public housing buildings to drop off cleaning supplies, masks, and groceries.

Transforming lives through education, inspiration and opportunity,

Founded by will.i.am in 2009, the i.am Angel Foundation supports students living below the poverty line in his hometown neighborhood of Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles and beyond, to provide access to after-school tutoring through our i.am College Track program and STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) through First Robotics clubs. 

“Every school has a basketball court and many have football fields, but only two businesses benefit from these skill sets, and it’s mostly for boys. Football is great, but my niece will never play for the NFL. With robotics clubs, boys and girls can learn valuable STEM skills and how to work in teams, knowledge that helps secure college scholarships and eventually, high-paying jobs. With FIRST Robotics, every child can be a winner in school, work and in life. My mission is to put a robotics club in every public school,
and we are off to a great start with this new program in Los Angeles." - will.i.am (our founder)

Allies Against Slavery builds platforms and partnerships that accelerate data-driven solutions to human trafficking. 

Human trafficking is a hidden problem that thrives in the shadows of society. Myths and misconceptions are pervasive, and data is unreliable. As a result, victims aren’t identified, traffickers aren’t prosecuted, and solutions aren’t data-informed or well-coordinated.

But that is changing. Allies Against Slavery harnesses data to illuminate and eradicate human trafficking. Our tools help allies in the fight to identify victims, coordinate care, and take informed action. 

Our vision is clear: to ensure that every community across the United States has the data it needs to combat and prevent human trafficking. But we cannot achieve this vision alone. We need to leverage innovative, data-driven solutions and forge crucial partnerships to shine a light on trafficking and build a future where freedom and dignity are secured for all. We invite you to join us in this important mission.

We are committed to empowering people through education, community development, social and economic support. 

Araceli Aid Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded officially on 14th December 2022, but has been working tirelessly and anonymously over the past 13 years to provide educational opportunities to the less privileged, establish and support schools, and improve the living conditions of indigent and destitute individuals in our society .

Our mission is to empower people through education, community development, and social and economic support. We believe that education is the key to unlocking the potential of every individual and creating a better future for all.

Our history dates back to 2009, when our founder, Reverend Father Iroha Christian Nnaemeka, started a small initiative to help children from poor families access quality education. He was joined by other passionate individuals who shared his vision and values, such as Mrs Eze Gertrude Ezinne, Barrister Obiekwe Michael Stanley, Revered Father Ozochikelu Cornelius, Reverend Father Aniebonam Paul, Mrs Omelebere Ezenwanne, and Dr. Chikwendu Chimezie Emmanuel . Together, they formed the Board of Incorporated Trustees of Araceli Aid Foundation and registered it as a legal entity in December 2022.

Since then, we have expanded our scope and impact to cover five main objectives: Education and school support, social Support, economic empowerment, community development, and humanitarian aid.

Some of our past and current activities include:

- Providing teacher training, classroom resources, school supplies, equipping of laboratories and tech facilities, and more to improve the quality of education in existing schools.
- Providing vocational training, job placement services, and grants to help people build better lives for themselves and their families.
- Working with communities to identify and address their most pressing needs, whether it is access to clean water, healthcare, or other essential services.
- Awarding scholarships to deserving students who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential.
- Providing food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and psychosocial support to victims of conflicts, or other emergencies.
