Project: Improving Access to Veterinary Care

1992 Medical Avenue, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 540-437-1980 Contact: Katie Nicholson, Marketing and Communications Manager, k.nicholson@anicira.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 20-8358468

Access to veterinary care is the foundation of a pet's health and well-being. Through Anicira's programs, the most vulnerable pets in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County community receive life-changing veterinary care.

Many families facing financial constraints delay seeking care for their sick or injured pets or forgo other necessities in order to provide care. When access to care is limited, a pet may face prolonged illness, pain, or premature death.

Anicira provides services so that pets can remain with the families who love them.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Anicira was founded in 2005 as Shenandoah Valley Spay/Neuter Clinic with the goal of reducing the local homeless pet population. Over the years, Anicira has expanded services to meet the needs of the community. Anicira partners with local animal welfare organizations to provide reduced-fee veterinary care. Anicira's pet food pantry was founded in 2007 to ensure pets avoid hunger. In 2016, Anicira expanded serviced to include dentistry, general surgery, wellness, and medical appointments for sick and injured pets. Our mission broadened to keep pets and their families together by providing high-quality, affordable veterinary care.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: $100 provides wellness care to two pets $250 covers the cost of a dentistry procedure $500 helps 2 pets receive necessary surgery $1000 provides medical care and treatment to 10 pets Total additional funding for this project: $10,000 committed by Petco Love Timetable for Project:

Program Accomplishments: In 2020, Anicira's veterinary team helped 28,323 patients and provided 18,575 surgeries. Of the patients seen, 1,341 pets received free care.

Through Anicira's pet food pantry, local pets received more than 226,558 nutritious meals.

Project: Advocacy for Mental Health Services for Abused & Neglected Children We will empower 34 volunteers to advocate for the mental health of 74 abused and neglected children in Harrisonburg/Rockingham.

PO Box 1025, Harrisonburg, VA 22803 540-213-2272 Contact: Juan Pablo Berrizbeitia, CEO juanpablo@blueridgecasa.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 54-1721227

We estimate that this year local courts will be involved with 500 abused and neglected children. On behalf of these children, we will identify unmet needs and advocate for necessary services, effectively increasing the likelihood that they receive assessments and treatments.

We will follow up on their progress with the Judge, who makes the ultimate decisions regarding their well-being.

BRCASA is the only nonprofit that can access confidential information regarding these children. The advocacy we carry out cannot be replicated.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Blue Ridge CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) recruits, selects, trains, and supervises community members to volunteer as advocates for children whose safety, health, educational, and economic needs are unmet to such an extent that they experience abuse or neglect, have a case open in Court, and are waiting for a Judge to decide what arrangements will guarantee their needs become met.

Organizational History BRCASA was incorporated on July 22, 1994, in Waynesboro, Virginia serving Waynesboro, Staunton, and Augusta County. Since then we have expanded services to Lexington/Rockbridge and Harrisonburg/Rockingham. To date, CASA has served over 1000 children.

Program Accomplishments: Promote, support, and train volunteers to represent the best interests of children.

Monitor and ensure compliance with Court orders.

Support family unity.

831 MLK Jr. Way, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 540-705-0337 Susan Adamson, FNP. Director and Board President, snadamson@comcast.net This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 86-1418555

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: In just three months a group of dedicated and passionate clinicians and community volunteers opened the no barrier Blue Ridge Free Clinic (BRFC) on April 12, 2021 to meet the ongoing need for accessible, affordable wholistic healthcare services. An all volunteer staff assists the uninsured, underinsured, and those needing temporary help to receive free medical care, prescription drugs, behavioral health care, specialty visits, dental services, and social services. Navigation, a unique component, provides a key service by helping anyone find the most appropriate place for their needs.

A lean organizational structure ensures sustainability.

So far 70 volunteers have been oriented.

Program Accomplishments: Incorporated in January, 2021 and opened BRFC three months later in April, 2021 Created an all volunteer health services provision for vulnerable populations Partnered with the PA (physician assistant) program at JMU Developed on-site psychiatric, gynecological, ENT, and gastroenterology specialty services Diagnosed 6 cancers at a treatable stage Signed a multi-year lease in a former medical practice with easy public access Participated in the Great Community Give shortly after opening that raised over$78,000 Navigated numerous people to their Medicaid benefits

Although most start-up equipment and medical supplies have been generously donated, we are still in need of one major piece of equipment: a Colposcope for doing gynecological biopsies to evaluate and treat cervical and vaginal cancers. We need a new stock of PPE supplies for volunteer clinical providers. Home blood pressure cuffs and one touch glucometers are needed so patients can monitor their health from home, contact the clinic if needed and avoid costly Emergency visits. $10 Walmart gift cards help patients with certain prescriptions and over-the-counter medications. Patients need and appreciate transportation vouchers.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: Colposcope: $4,900 PPE Supplies (gloves, surgical masks): $900 15 Home Blood Pressure Cuffs: $525 15 One Touch Glucometers: $600 50 $10 Gift Cards: $500 Transportation Vouchers: $250 Total additional funding for this project: Supplies are needed annually so we will continue our fundraising strategies and use funds from the Great Community Give when needed. The JMU PA students are hosting a fundraising Gala and funds raised can offset the cost of the equipment if necessary.

Project: Low-Income Older Adults with Critical Legal Needs

P.O. Box 551, Harrisonburg, VA 22803 540-433-1830 Contact: John E. Whitfield, Executive Director, jwhitfield@brls.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 54-1048944

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: In 1977, the first two legal aid societies in the Shenandoah Valley were established, the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Legal Aid Society located in Harrisonburg and the Blue Ridge Legal Aid Society in Waynesboro. In 1979, these organizations merged, adopting the name Blue Ridge Legal Services (BRLS). Over the years, BRLS has expanded significantly to meet the needs of even more lowincome Shenandoah Valley residents, opening an office in Winchester in 1981, and doubling its service area in 2001 by assuming responsibility for legal aid offices in Lexington and Roanoke. BRLS has provided civil legal assistance to the Valley for over 40 years.

Funding for this project will sustain the half-time attorney position dedicated to providing civil legal assistance to seniors living in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. It promotes equal access to justice for low-income older adults, addressing the most pressing legal problems confronting them, including wills, powers of attorney, guardianships, financial exploitation, nursing home problems, protecting their homes, possessions and limited savings while dealing with debts, access to health care, and eligibility for governmental assistance programs. The project will make free legal assistance more accessible, in turn protecting the safety, security, and qualify of life of seniors in our community.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: Simple wills, advance medical directives, and powers of attorney for elderly persons: approximately $350 per person Petition for guardianship for elderly incapacitated person: approximately $2,000 per person Total additional funding for this project: Amount requested: $57,756 Amount committed: $30,000

Program Accomplishments: Blue Ridge Legal Services closed 2,235 cases for low-income clients in 2020. In cases involving ongoing representation, we fully achieved our clients' goals in 87% of the cases, and partially achieved them in another 8%. We achieved 2,575 outcomes for 2,235 clients that benefitted 6,083 low-income people, including affirmative lump sum recoveries of $497,728; affirmative monthly recoveries of $37,899; avoidance of $1,742,147 in lump sum debts or damages; and avoidance of $29,688 in monthly obligations.

Project: Teen Center Revitalization

PO Box 1223, Harrisonburg, VA 22803 540-209-0340 Contact: Michael Osorio Annual Fund & Marketing Director, mosorio@bgchr.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 54-1652418

Boys & Girls Club of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County (BGCHR) Teen Center allows local youth to hang out and spend time after school doing homework, playing video games, and sports. The Club plays a vital role in keeping local at-risk youth off the streets and out of harm's way. However, in recent years teen attendance has begun to decline as the Club ages and becomes outdated. BGCHR needs support to revitalize the space and draw youth away from crime and drugs, and into a safe, supportive environment through the creation of a music studio and entertainment center with streaming capabilities.

Portions of the Project that can be funded:

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Harrisonburg and Rockingham County teens have faced serious challenges the last several years, and the number of teens making bad decisions is increasing.

Local statistics show a 15.5% increase in e-cigarette use, 21.6% using illicit drugs, and 361 teens involved with gangs. The rise of social media platforms such as TikTok have complicated their decision making ability, quickly capturing their attention. To combat this BGCHR proposes renovating its Teen Center with a music studio and streaming room where teens can engage with visuals and creative musical outlets, giving teens a safe, attractive alternative to other out-of-school distractions.

Program Accomplishments: This past fiscal year, BGCHR served our community's youth in academic support, healthy lifestyles and character building/citizenship. BGCHR served over 900 youth with before and after school programs and 8weeks of full day summer camps in our seven clubs. In March of 2020, the clubs closed due to COVID. By midJune BGCHR was running 4 Clubs Monday-Friday for 55 hours per week - almost 2 and half times budgeted hours. Extended programming was necessary to compensate for school closure and family needs.

Donations offset our extremely low program fees and member scholarships in this time of extended service.

Project: Rental Assistance & Case Management

PO Box 535, Harrisonburg, VA 22803 540-478-2356 Contact: Christi Hoover Seidel, director@hr.bridgeofhopeinc.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 90-0451234

Bridge of Hope is a Housing First Program. By housing families in crisis, we take the first vital step toward breaking the cycle of homelessness for single-parents and their children. The Rental Assistance Program pays movein costs, down payments and provides monthly rental assistance on a decreasing basis so that families can work toward financial stability through employment, debt management and savings. Our holistic, whole-family case management helps connect families to the resources needed to meet their desired goals. Families graduate with financial stability and connection.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Bridge of Hope was founded in Lancaster, PA in the 1980s and grew into a national organization with a nationally recognized model for ending family homelessness. The Harrisonburg-Rockingham affiliate began serving local families in 2010 and many families remain in the housing they acquired during their time in the program. From the beginning, rental assistance and case management have been vital and foundational to the holistic program, which also includes a social support system made up of volunteers from local churches.

We have a 94% success rate of families exiting the program with stability!

Program Accomplishments: We worked with eight mothers and their children to attain financial stability through employment and budgeting; working towards personal goals; building relationships with a social support network.

We added four new Neighboring Volunteer groups to the Bridge of Hope Network and they are learning to know their particular participant families and roles.

We have overcome significant obstacles with several families, especially in a year of pandemic, including furlough, sickness, divorce, bankruptcy, and case manager transitions.

Project: Save 9 Lives: Spay/Neuter and Pet Retention Assistance for Low-Income Cat Caretakers

P.O. Box 2128, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 540-255-3377 Contact: Jennifer Kirkland, Board President kirklandje@hotmail.com This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 20-3269224

This lifesaving program provides financial assistance for low-income cat owners and colony caretakers to help them reduce cat overpopulation by spay/neuter and to help them get other needed veterinary care for their cats to avoid shelter surrender. Cat's Cradle knows that spay/neuter and pet retention programs WORK - - they reduce public shelter intake, thereby helping promote adoption of cats in shelters and helping avoid euthanasia of healthy, adoptable cats. Cat's Cradle refers clients to partnering veterinary hospitals and low-cost spay/neuter clinics and authorizes financial assistance based on client circumstances and clinic fees.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Cat's Cradle provides financial assistance for spay/neuter of owned and feral cats; rescues/fosters/adopts out homeless cats from shelters; and provides pet retention/rehoming programs. Our mission is to reduce shelter intake and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable cats. Cat’s Cradle was founded in 1998 and has grown from a small group of women dedicated to spay/neuter into an organization with two full-time employees, eight part-time employees, and a volunteer network of about 125 volunteers, with an annual budget of over $525,000. We spend approx.

90% of all donations on program expenses, not fundraising or management.

Program Accomplishments: Adoption Program - 629 cats were adopted out in 2020, averaging 52 cats per month. All cats were altered, tested, vaccinated and treated for parasites prior to adoption. Spay/Neuter Program - 2,988 cats were altered during the year, of which 1,077 were trap, neuter and return (TNR). We partnered with various local veterinary hospitals and spay/neuter clinics to provide low cost spay/neuter to pet owners and caretakers. Medical Assistance - 213 families were authorized for medical assistance for their cats in 2020.

Medical assistance is provided to promote pet retention and reduce shelter surrender.

Organization Expenses: Fundraising Services Expenses

Portions of the Project that can be funded: The average cost to Cat's Cradle to provide client assistance for a spay/neuter surgery and rabies vaccine is $55.00. So, for example, a donor could fund 10 surgeries for $550.00. 100 cats helped would involve a donation of $5500.00; 200 cats would require a donation of $11,000.00. The average cost to Cat's Cradle to provide client assistance for other veterinary care/pet retention services is $150.00. So, for example, a donor could fund 2 families for a donation of $300; 25 families would require a donation of $3800.00; 50 families would require a donation of $7600.00.

Total additional funding for this project: Cat's Cradle constantly seeks other spay/neuter and medical assistance funds. We have $58,500.00 of funds on hand committed for this project. We plan to file a $10,000 grant application with Banfield Foundation when eligible in October. We also solicit client copays when possible.

Project: Living in Place - Critical Home Repair

PO Box 245, Bridgewater, VA 22812 540-828-6288 Contact: David Wenger, david@centralvalleyhabitat.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 54-1441871

CVHfH is implementing a new program to rehabilitate at least 5 homes of low-income homeowners per year. Our program framework indicates that we will be conducting projects that will weatherproof homes, improve security and efficiency of the home, provide safety and accessibility, and improve the life of the residents. Specific projects will include roof repairs, installing ramps, remodeling bathrooms for wheelchair accessibility, and installing windows, flooring and doors. CVHFH is partnering with Build United in order to increase the capacity of services to more members of the community living below the ALICE threshold.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Since 1988 Central Valley Habitat for Humanity has provided strength, stability and self-reliance by providing a decent affordable place to live. These services have been provided to 175 families and individuals living below 60% of the average median income. The Critical Home Repair program was recently implemented in an effort to increase the number of families who have a decent, affordable place to live. We believe this program will double the number of families we serve while reducing the need for the more costly new home program.

Program Accomplishments: To create affordable housing for needy persons.

Organization Expenses:

Portions of the Project that can be funded: CVHfH expects to do at least 5 projects per year with an estimated average cost of $5000 per project. Each project typically requires multiple sub projects. For example, a roof leak will require shingles ($800), plyboard ($500), ceiling work ($1200), and flooring work ($500). Ramp construction material is estimated at $1500, while a bathroom remodel is projected to cost $2500. Any funding amounts will be useful and applied to the cost of Critical Home Repair projects.

Total additional funding for this project: $10,000 of the $25,000 total for this project has been committed through other grants. We expect to find at least one other source of funding to supplement this program in addition to the funds recieved through the Giving Back Program.

Project: Baby Diapers for Needy Families

2545 Greenport Rd., Harrisonburg, VA 22801 540-208-7669 Contact: Artie Frederick, Coordinator (Volunteer) dfaf5x7@comcast.net This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 83-4082123

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: As the Children's Clothes Closet continued to grow, it became evident that there were no state or federal assistance programs to help families with the purchase of diapers. Seeing that need, the organization decided to offer a limited number of diapers per child, free of charge, two times a month.

We provide clothing and diapers to needy families in our area. In 2020, we provided clothing to 762 children and distributed 50,352 diapers. We depend on generous monetary and in-kind donations from local churches, organizations and individuals to fulfill our mission. This application is specifically focused on diaper purchases to meet the growing need in our community.

Project: Supporting DePaul's Essential Services in Harrisonburg

36 Southgate Ct., Ste. 102, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 540-589-6509 Daria VanRavestein, dvanravestein@depaulcr.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 54-1108079

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: For over 44 years, DePaul Community Resources has opened doors to hope and belonging for children, families, and individuals with unique challenges across Central and Western Virginia. DePaul was founded and incorporated 1977 in Roanoke as The Achievement Center Specialized Foster Care, Inc. In 1981, we adopted the name DePaul, named after St. Vincent DePaul—the “Great Apostle of Charity.” DePaul has grown to become one of Virginia’s largest nonprofit foster care, adoption, and developmental disabilities services organizations, with 15 service locations statewide, 180 staff, and a network of over 400 care providers, foster and adoptive parents.

Program Accomplishments: Please see Schedule O of our 990.

Organization Expenses: Fundraising Services Expenses Management Services Expenses

DePaul respectfully requests funding to our programs in Harrisonburg, VA. We offer to the community foster care, adoption, independent living, and community-based services. This grant will support the recruitment of nurturing foster families and provision of specialized training so families can provide safe, therapeutic homes to youth who have experienced trauma; adoption preparation for both children and families; and postadoption support to preserve permanency of adoptive families through support groups, outpatient therapy, crisis management; and children and families in crisis through our community-based services, which provide critical, therapeutic support through various clinical services aimed at helping children and families to heal.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: Achieving permanency and stability for youth is at the heart of our work at DePaul because it is so critical in ensuring a positive future for children who have entered the foster care system. In 2020, our Harrisonburg office served 29 children in foster care. The four primary services we offer from our Harrisonburg location—foster care, adoption, independent living, and community-based services—all work together towards that end. While all of these programs are necessary in producing positive, impactful outcomes for those we serve, we understand that funding limitations may cause a donor to elect one of our services.

Total additional funding for this project: Our Harrisonburg office does not have any outstanding grant requests at this time. We continue to pursue other foundations, corporations and donors to support our work in the Harrisonburg Community and surrounding areas.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project:

Portions of the Project that can be funded:

The January 2002 formation of the Harrisonburg Children's Museum (now Explore More) was a grassroots effort of local parents, educators and community leaders who had the dream to create an interactive, educational center for area youth. Initially launched as a traveling exhibit program and later established in a temporary 6,000 square foot rental facility, the museum moved into its current location in November 2010. Led by a 17-member Board of Directors, this 501(c)(3) organization annually provides service to 80,000 visitors, offers more than 15 hands-on exhibit galleries and 300 programs, accessible to all children.

Program Accomplishments: Nearly 80,000 visitors participated in Museum activities in 2019. In its effort to ensure accessibility and support to all families, the Museum offered free admission to 1 in 8 visitors. Also in 2019, Explore More continued its fundraising efforts and successfully completed construction of the 3rd Floor Community Education Center as part of the final phase of the capital campaign. New exhibit and programming opportunities increased visitation and membership.

The Museum added new learning activity stations to existing galleries to enhance play value, along with beginning work on the design for a future financial literacy exhibit.

With 80,000 visitors annually, exhibit areas in Explore More are well-loved and well-utilized. After a certain amount of time, each exhibit area requires important upgrades to maintain high play value and quality experiences for every child. Our “Construction Zone” exhibit areas are ready to be updated. Through a newly visioned Imagination Blocks area on the first floor, as well as enhanced Keva Blocks center on the second floor, children will continue to explore their ideas through building, engineering, creativity, and design. These skills are just a few of the many talents children strengthen through hands-on, interactive play at Explore More.

Organization Expenses:

Founded in 1997, the Harrisonburg International Festival’s mission is to showcase and unite the region’s many international residents, celebrate the cultural richness they bring to the Shenandoah Valley, and provide greater understanding and support within the overall community.

Approximately $125,446 comes from court-mandated mediation funding and government agency trainings.

The Harrisonburg International Festival has not been held for two years because of COVID-19 restrictions. As we approach 2022, increased need within the community for conflict resolution services, particularly Online Dispute Resolution, online mediation training, and organizational conflict resolution training, has reduced FairField Center's ability to supplement the staffing needs of the Harrisonburg International Festival, particularly with planning, fundraising, volunteer development, and logistics. Planning and funding will need to be restructured to cover this loss.

Project: Cell-phones for Survivors of Domestic Violence

Often when survivors of domestic violence contact First Step for help they are in need of a new or replacement cellphone. Many times the abusive partner has not allowed the survivor to have a cell-phone, destroyed the survivor's cellphone or is using the cell-phone to track the survivor. In these cases it is imperative for the safety of the survivor to provide them with a new cell-phone. This project provides funding for First Step to purchase a non-contract cellphone and monthly minutes to ensure survivors have access to their own cell-phone for safety, communication, connection to resources, and telehealth appointments.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project:

Portions of the Project that can be funded:

First Step's mission is empowering survivors to break the cycle of violence and abuse in their lives. Our vision is a community free of abuse. For over 40 years, First Step has been committed to providing free and confidential services to survivors of intimate partner or relationship violence who have experienced economic, physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, and/or verbal abuse, including but not limited to controlling behavior, isolation, threats, intimidation, gaslighting, stalking and dating violence. Services for survivors and their children include: 24hour crisis hotline, safety planning, emergency shelter, legal advocacy and court accompaniment, counseling, housing assistance, and case management.

This project would serve approximately 10 survivors of Domestic Violence with one cell-phone at $100 and up to 3 months of phone minutes at $35.00 per month. $1,000.00 for 10 cell-phones $980.00 for 28 $35 phone cards

Program Accomplishments: 64 adult survivors of domestic violence and 39 children were sheltered by First Step.

32 survivor households sheltered by First Step exited to permanent housing. Of the households that exited to permanent shelter, First Step provided rental assistance to 18 (18 adults and 8 children).

690 Garbers Church Road, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 540-487-9095 Contact: Tom Tattersall firstteeshenandoahvalley@gmail.com This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 26-3826410

The After School Reading Program is a simple concept that gets results. Students read with staff and volunteers.

The instructor-to-student ratio is 1:1 for this program. After quality reading time, students participate in a golf activity.

By encouraging reading outside of a traditional classroom setting, students begin to associate academics with life outside of school. By providing caring, engaged mentors to read with and be encouraged by, students improve and become more confident in their reading skills. Generally, First Tee – Shenandoah Valley will work with the same kids for an entire school year.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Many young people in our society struggle with reading, comprehension, and basic social skills. The after-school read n swing is targeted at elementary school students who read below their expected reading level. By encouraging reading outside of a traditional classroom setting, students begin to associate academics with life outside of school. By providing caring, engaged mentors to read with and be encouraged by, students improve and become more confident in their reading skills.

Program Accomplishments: To impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill lifeenhancing values, and promote healthy habits through the game of golf.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Our program participants are not allowed to drive a vehicle, which places great burden on our staff to transport them when necessary, particularly when the destination is beyond public bus routes and/or require expensive taxi or rideshare services. With room for 15 passengers, the Ford Transit 350 XLT is larger and more durable (commercial grade) than our current vehicle—a 2007 Dodge Caravan (7 passengers), with nearly 300,000 miles and exorbitant repair costs. By doubling our passenger capacity, we reduce the number of trips and lower the mileage, as well as save on fuel and maintenance costs.

Program Accomplishments: GEMEINSCHAFT HOME PROVIDES: 1) A RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC TRANSITIONAL COMMUNITY FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE OFFENDERS, TO PREPARE THEM FOR RE-ENTRY INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND 2) A DAY REPORTING CENTER FOR LOCAL OFFENDERS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO INCARCERATION.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Girls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using fun, experience-based curricula that creatively integrates running. It is a physical activity-based positive youth development program designed to enhance 3rd-8th girls’ social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. The program’s intentional curriculum places an emphasis on the development of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls. Trained, caring, and qualified coaches deliver the life skills curriculum by guiding small teams of girls through twice-a-week lessons that promote social-emotional learning concurrently with physical activity. The program culminates with a 5K.

Program Accomplishments: Inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Partner with local schools and community organizations to provide 8-10 week programs in the fall and spring to promote physical and emotional well-being to young girls in the community.

Organization Expenses: Fundraising Services Expenses

We would like to have a dedicated individual educate the school/community leaders about our program and its impact on girls in the community. They would be a liaison for volunteer coaches at those sites. They would help us reach more girls in the Rockingham/Harrisonburg community by recruiting schools to host a Girls on the Run program. Most people think we are just a running program; we are a whole body program. We educate girls about their emotions, making good choices, conflict resolution, and so much more. Approximately 50% of girls who register receive a scholarship.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: $20,800 Payroll: Having a dedicated person in the Harrisonburg/Rockingham area will help bring the Girls on the Run program to schools and community sites.

The person would be able to help identify locations in the community for the program, find local grants to provide scholarships and work with the community to find volunteer coaches to mentor the girls. $20,250 Scholarships: 50% of families who register for Girls on the Run qualify for scholarships. Any girl who wishes to participate can. $13,950 Other Program Expense: Annual fees, Program supplies, Insurance Total additional funding for this project: We do not currently have any additional funding for this project at this time.

Timetable for Project: Girls on the Run has a Fall and a Spring season (Spring Season March-May 2022 and Fall Season September-November 2022). We would hire a program expansion coordinator and start recruiting both schools and community sites in January 2022 for the Spring 2022 season.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: HRHA’s government funding is designated for housing and supportive services. HRHA houses hundreds of families with students and offers a Family Self-Sufficiency program that includes budgeting, credit improvement, and job training.

Shenandoah Housing Corporation is the 501c3 arm of Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority, designated by HUD as high performing. HRHA would like to establish steady scholarship support for 12 students annually, 3 in each year of college, with $1,000 each, $500 per semester. These students are members of families that receive housing choice vouchers. Supported families earn less than 80 percent of the local area median income, and some earn less than 30 percent. HRHA would like to launch 12 scholarships, if possible, or begin phasing in funding for each graduating class.

Portions of the Project that can be funded:

When possible, HRHA has given out scholarships to deserving students of housing choice voucher families. Education is key to achieving selfsufficiency and financial independence. Our families work hard to move to renting independently or buying homes. Their students work hard at school to improve their chances of lifetime success. We would like to recognize their efforts by offering more support for their continuing education.

Program Accomplishments: The organization invests in low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) multifamily development to provide housing for lower income families.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: The HRCDCC was established in 1971 in response to community needs for affordable child day care.

After 38 years at Asbury United Methodist Church, we were asked to relocate. HRCDCC moved to Muhlenberg Lutheran Church in January 2010. In August of 2017, we were finally able to purchase a building of our own. The pandemic put our goal of moving into our new home by our 50th anniversary on hold. However, with continued support from the community, we hope to restart with a plan to renovate that will allow us to continue to serve families for another 50 years.

Program Accomplishments: The center provides daycare services for residents of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Virginia on a sliding fee schedule, based on family income.

Organization Expenses: Fundraising Services Expenses Management Services Expenses

The Harrisonburg Rockingham Child Day Care Center purchased a building in downtown Harrisonburg with the intent to grow and expand our program. Covid-19 turned the world upside down and HRCDCC had to focus on staying open. Our goal of breaking ground in the summer of 2020 was put on hold. As we slowly emerge from the pandemic, we are continuing to raise money for the renovation of our building. Our success with our building project so far has been through our major community event, Dancing with the Stars of the 'Burg.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: Our goal is to move our current program to the newly renovated building. We would need to supply two additional classrooms.

Classroom furniture- $10,000 per classroom ($20,000) Playground fencing and exterior ramp - $25,000 Interior and exterior cameras - $22,000 Commercial kitchen - $90,000 Flooring - $28,000 Paint/painting - $30,000 Total additional funding for this project: Fundraising to date through DWTS of the 'Burg has given us $750,000. A formal building campaign has stalled due to the pandemic's impact, and the need to focus on pursuing grants and funds to maintain the operation of our existing program.

Timetable for Project: The timeline for our project has changed due to COVID, pushing it to 2022.

Number of People Organization Serves as a Whole Annually: 100 children and families; 15-25 employees Number of People Project will Serve: Currently, our goal is to move our existing program to the new building. This would allow us to care for 50 children and their families.

The birth of a child should be a time of joy. Unfortunately for many in our community, it can be a time of uncertainty and financial stress. Often, families that we care for do not have the financial resources to pay for basic healthcare needs or the cost of items needed to care for their newborn children. To help bridge this gap, we seek funding to provide newborn car seats, bilirubin blankets for jaundice treatment, and breast pumps to low income families, giving their children the safest and healthiest start to life. HCHC will loan the items as needed to

Program Accomplishments: November 2021 Many families in our community are uninsured or underinsured. The complexities of balancing health care with other household expenses often mean that good health becomes a lower priority for more pressing budgetary needs like shelter, food, and clothing, particularly in the face of a global pandemic. With donor support and as an FQHC, HCHC breaks down those barriers that block access to vital medical services.

Project: Housing for Youth Aging Out of Foster Care

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: ILS is passionate about seeing youth transition from foster care into adulthood with long-term stability.

Our capacity to do this is greatly threatened by the rising costs of housing and availability. Last year, ILS spent nearly a half-million dollars in rent alone for the youth in our Independent Living Program. As we continue to expand the number of young adults we serve and widen our reach into new communities, this amount will exponentially increase along-side the rising cost of rent. These costs will place major limitations on the amount of financial resources that are left to allocate toward critical preventative services.

Program Accomplishments: IMPACT LIVING SERVICES (ILS) IS A NONPROFIT AGENCY PROVIDING UNIQUE AND VARIED SERVICES THROUGHOUT VIRGINIA. ILS IS A LICENSED CHILD PLACING AGENCY PROVIDING TRANSITIONAL LIVING SERVICES FOCUSED ON ASSISTING YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE BY PROMOTING INTERDEPENDENCE SO THAT EACH YOUTH MAY REACH THEIR INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL SOCIALLY, ACADEMICALLY, VOCATIONALLY AND RELATIONALLY.

Impact Living Services is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to relationally helping youth aging out of foster care to beat the odds against homelessness, incarceration, and unemployment as they become young adults. When a youth graduates from our independent living program, he or she will have saved enough money to live on their own.

Our fundraising project goal is to purchase the townhomes/apartments that we use for youth housing instead of renting from landlords. By doing so, we will have more housing availability and sustainability, and will be able to reallocate what we are spending on rent toward offering prevention services.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: Our hope is to purchase 4 townhomes within one year.

While we would love to raise enough money to purchase these homes outright, we understand that in the current housing market, it is more likely that we would need to take out mortgages on these housing units. Raising $150,000 would allow us to place significant down payments on 4 townhomes, which would give us the ability to have monthly mortgage payments that are much lower than what is currently being spent on rent ($1200-$1500/month per youth). $37,500 would allow us to place a down payment on one townhome and cover closing fees.

Total additional funding for this project: We have applied for grants in two of our other localities (Lynchburg and Fairfax). This is our first funding request for our Harrisonburg location. So far, no grants have been committed to us.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Founded in 1928, Massanutten Regional Library is an engaged community partner providing programs and services that bring people together, foster creativity, and encourage lifelong learning. MRL serves the residents of Harrisonburg, Rockingham, and Page counties with seven branches located in Bridgewater, Broadway, Elkton, Grottoes, Harrisonburg, Luray, and Shenandoah. Patrons have free access to a collection of 400,000 items, including books, DVDs, audiobooks, and eBooks. MRL provides free Wi-Fi and internet access, as well as online research and learning resources. Youth literacy is a primary focus of MRL, including story times for preschoolers, outreach programs to daycares and schools and more.

This project will provide two ADA compliant, enhanced bilevel drinking fountains which also include personal water bottle filling stations for patron and staff use at the Central Library in downtown Harrisonburg. In addition to providing cool, filtered drinking water, the quick water bottle fill station enhances sustainability by minimizing dependency on disposable plastic bottles. The stations also provide a sanitary touch-free sensor activation to augment the library’s Covid-19 mitigation during the current pandemic.

Additionally, the enhanced stations track the number of plastic bottles saved from waster through a green ticker, providing the library with measurable statistics of conservation.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: Each individual unit costs $1,519. Donors may choose to purchase one or both, or provide additional funding so we may expand these stations to the other library branches in our regional system.

Total additional funding for this project: Requesting $3,038 to cover two units for Central Library.

MRL will incur costs of labor for installation - $200

Program Accomplishments: In 2020-21, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, MRL tallied more than 200,000 visits, circulated over 530,000 items, issued/renewed over 6,600 library cards, and answered over 20,475 reference questions.

As the pandemic shifted, MRL adapted with flexibility and resilience by amending service hours and offering creative delivery methods (grab & go, book bundles, and curbside pickup) to ensure a safe experience for patrons. MRL also enriched the community during this challenging time by offering online programming through YouTube and Zoom, including story times, science projects, craft projects, book reviews, and author talks. Over 2,200 people participated in MRL’s virtual Summer Reading Program.

Project: SAFE-At-Home

PO Box 1478, Harrisonburg, VA 22803 540-432-1812 Contact: Shannon Porter sporter@themercyhouse.org This organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Federal EIN# 54-1476187

SAFE-At-Home program helps recently homeless households to become established in their community and increasingly self-sufficient by assisting with unmet needs that might otherwise destabilize their housing. The program model combines intensive supportive case management services and targeted financial interventions to stabilize clients as they encounter adversity in their post-shelter housing placement. Examples of the targeted interventions include: vital record/license fees, transportation/car repair, shoes or uniforms for employment, medical copays/eye glasses/medication costs, day care/school fees/tutoring/sports fees for children, as well as partial rent stipends or emergency utility payments. In each case the assistance must be "difference making" and have a direct impact of the client's continued self-sufficiency.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Mercy House is in its 33rd year of operations, serving as the primary homeless services agency in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. The organization operates a family shelter and acts as a Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing provider. The United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County has recognized Mercy House as a "Collaborative Champion" for its broad based approach to addressing homelessness. In 2020, Mercy House provided over $800,000 rental assistance to local households adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the SAFE-at-Home Program was an effective tool in stabilizing over 220 households who otherwise would have fallen into homelessness.

Program Accomplishments: Provided emergency shelter to 34 local homeless families including food, shelter, clothing, furniture, employment and family living skills. Sheltered 57 medically vulnerable, chronically homeless individuals in local motels. Re-Housed 121 local homeless households and prevented homelessness for 32 imminently homeless households.

Administered federal, state, and local funding to assist 228 local households with rental assistance due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. Provided supportive case management and housing counseling to all clients.

Organization Expenses: Fundraising Services Expenses

Mercy House is seeking to leverage multiple funding sources in order to provide 140 total units of direct client aid with average outlay of $485.71, which creates a total program of budget $68,000. Our agency has adequate staffing and administrative capacity to operate the program. Therefore all requested Community Foundation funding would go to direct client aid- with every dollar being spent to secure resources on behalf of a client. Any donor support would go directly to targeted assistance.

Total additional funding for this project: The total request would be $12,000 with total program budget of $ 68,000. The remaining $56,000 would be addressed through other funding sources including the United Way of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, other foundation grants, and private donors. Any additional funds raised would go to increasing the program budget.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: OASIS Fine Art and Craft is a non-profit artisan cooperative with approximately 3 dozen local members. We have been on the same corner in Harrisonburg for 21 years. We provide a beautiful environment for members to exhibit and sell their work. We also are part of the community, giving back where we can. We have worked with Second Home for several years, before and during the pandemic. Our monthly visits provide a specific project for the children, with several OASIS members there to guide them. The projects have ranged from planting tomatoes, sand art, and paper flags for grandma's country.

We have a two part request, both of which involve children at Second Home. 1) Make 4 peace poles of 4"x4"x6' PVC pipe. Second Home children would be asked to draw or write symbols of hope/peace; those papers would be decoupaged onto the pole. Several layers of polyurethane would be applied. The poles would be installed around Harrisonburg. 2) Several years ago, due to grant funding, we were able to provide art supplies for each child at Second Home. The art supplies were sent home as Christmas/holiday presents. We want to do that again but need funding to do.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: The first part of the project, the Peace Poles, can be done for $800 total materials cost, or $200 each.

The second part of the project, individual art supplies for Second Home children, can be done for $1,500 materials cost.

Total additional funding for this project: We anticipate that all artist labor will be donated, or about $1,000. The total project cost would then be $3,300 of which we are requesting $2,300.

Program Accomplishments:

Timetable for Project: Item 1 can be done over several months, starting the month after receiving funding. Item 2 should be done in December.

Project: Shelter and Support in the City

As the need for low-barrier shelter in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County grows, Open Doors is working to grow and adapt to meet the challenge. In shifting from a half year thermal shelter to year-round operation, the costs of caring for and sheltering those in our community in need of a hot meal and a clean bed has grown also. The opportunity to help support the growing financial needs is a significant way to make a positive impact in our community.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project:

Portions of the Project that can be funded:

Since 2007 Open Doors (formerly HARTS) has faithfully served the City of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County as the only provider of low-barrier shelter services for those in our community who are experiencing homelessness. During the coldest months of the year, this humanitarian service ensures that those in our community without a home have a clean, warm, safe place to sleep. Without debating the causes of homelessness or the worthiness of those seeking those services, it is clear that basic human compassion calls for us to provide, as a community, ongoing low-barrier shelter services.

Open Doors seeks to operate very efficiently utilizing the charity and donations of time, items, food, and funds. Even with this frugality, it costs approximately $1,000 a day to operate the low barrier shelter. Supporters can choose to support any portion of a day, week, month or more of operating the low barrier shelter based on this figure.

Program Accomplishments: Over the past 14 years, Open Doors has consistently expanded its offering of support and shelter for those experiencing homelessness. As the need has grown, Open Doors has risen to met the challenge of charity and caring for those without a home.

All financial statements included at this point reflect the half-year mode of operations for Open Doors.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Our Community Place began as a simple free Monday lunch in 1991 and opened as a full-fledged community center in 2008. From the beginning food was the center of our community. But over the years we’ve discovered that if we want to help our community members with their deep life challenges and help them meet long-term needs, we need to provide more. In 2018, we ramped up a case management program, going from 1 to 3 fulltime case managers. In 2020 we added a housing placement specialist to help folks with housing. OCP serves Harrisonburg, Rockingham and other surrounding counties.

Program Accomplishments: Through September of 2021, we have served 11,508 meals or an average of 1,278 meals per month.

Between January and August of 2021, we have averaged serving 122 unduplicated individuals a month and have provided 3,859 direct services, including 450 showers and 500 loads of laundry. Since January of 2021, we have housed 35 community members in permanent supportive housing. Our accomplishments are in the lives of the people we serve. Building on their resilience and strength, we have worked with our community members to find safety, peace, support and love: community.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project:

Portions of the Project that can be funded:

Plains Area Daycare Center has been fund-raising for several years for a new playground for our children.

Some of the equipment on the old playground was 30 years old. The need for outdoor mask-free breaks made sharing a playground space even more difficult between classrooms. A separate space for infants and toddlers has become even more necessary than ever before so we are not mingling children.

As this pandemic continues to impact our daily lives, the need for outdoor classrooms and playground time for children is especially important. Being outside gives infants and toddlers the opportunity to develop their large motor skills and move their bodies in different ways.

Program Accomplishments:

Outdoor classrooms have been essential in providing quality care during this pandemic. The outdoors offers children the opportunities to learn about nature, science, make noise, and be somewhat free.

ILG applications will be evaluated on several criteria, including the extent to which the project enriches the educational experience, challenges students, shows creativity and innovation, and realistic objectives, and reaches a significant number of students.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Believing that a good education is vital to the economic and social health of a community, a group of citizens formed the Rockingham Educational Foundation, Inc. in 1995 to enhance the quality of education in their community. REFI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by 23 volunteers who serve as the Board of Directors. The Foundation derives its operational funds from contributions made by individuals, businesses, and fund-raising events.

Program Accomplishments: EDUCATION GRANTS ARE AWARDED TO DESERVING TEACHERS WHO APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENTS FOR EXPENSES FOR PROVIDING AN INNOVATIVE IDEA IN TEACHING STUDENTS. GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE ADVERTISED AND ACCEPTED ONE TO TWO TIMES PER YEAR, ONCE IN THE FALL AND ONCE IN THE SPRING, IF FUNDING ALLOWS. IN EXCESS OF 150 APPLICATIONS ARE RECEIVED EACH YEAR WITH AWARDS BEING GIVEN TO APPROXIMATELY 80 GRANT RECIPIENTS.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: A donor could choose to support one of the 24 schools that we represent in Rockingham County. Each school is awarded at least one grant from $100-$5,000. A donor could choose to support a specific population of students.

For example, we award nearly $3,000 per year to support special education students in the schools as well as providing nearly $5,000 to support fine arts initiatives. If there is an area of focus that is important to the donor, REFI can work to honor their wishes to the best of our ability.

Project: Hope Fund for Cancer Care The Hope Fund ensures that someone's financial position never determines whether or not they get the cancer care they need. Donors who support the Hope Fund help provide preventive screenings for those without insurance, medications for patients who cannot afford them, and assistance with other needs that arise during a patient's fight with this dreaded disease.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Cancer disproportionally affects the Shenandoah Valley, taking close to 800 lives per year. That's why it seems like everywhere you turn you hear another story of someone being diagnosed. Worse yet, the need for cancer care continues to increase. And no one is turned away at the Sentara RMH Hahn Cancer Center based on their inability to pay. Those most in need come to us facing their most difficult times. Your support can help detect disease in these patients sooner, expedite care they need, and build a stronger path to recovery. Your support for the Hope Fund is critical.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: $153 = cost of one mammogram for a patient without insurance $627 = average cost of prescription assistance provided to a patient in need $993 = average cost of transportation assistance provided to an individual with no means of getting to the Cancer Center.

Total additional funding for this project: Since 2016, we have received $498,000 from 618 donations. We have requested just over $600,000 in that time.

Timetable for Project:

Program Accomplishments: Recently, a patient was diagnosed with a brain tumor after being evaluated at the Emergency Department due to a car accident. His treatment included surgery, radiation therapy, and then oral chemotherapy was prescribed. Because this patient was uninsured, he was unable to obtain the treatment as each round cost $450.

With the help of the Hope Fund, the patient was able to get the necessary medication and is doing well.

Another patient, recently released from incarceration, uninsured and without a job, was diagnosed with cancer.

The Hope Fund provided him with pain and anti-nausea medications while he was being treated.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: SLI was founded by Peter Iver Kaufman in 2001 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Kaufman brought the SLI concept to Richmond in 2008, and subsequently helped to establish it in the Shenandoah Valley. Incorporated in Harrisonburg in 2012, SLI began serving Winchester students, and received its tax-exempt status in 2013. Kaufman continues to lead SLI efforts in Richmond and holds the George Matthews & Virginia Brinkley Modlin Chair in Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond.

SLI scholars have attended 21 colleges and universities.

Scholars Latino Initiative creates college access opportunities for Latino/x high school students through unique programs in Harrisonburg, Richmond, and Winchester, Virginia. By collaborating with local university faculty and high school teachers, SLI offers its students rigorous academic challenge, leadership development, and supportive mentorships. Donations from SLI’s community of support allow the organization to offer dual enrollment tuition assistance, computer awards, and college scholarships that further empower its scholars as they pursue a college degree. SLI scholars have attended 21 colleges and universities.

Portions of the Project that can be funded: The requested $7,000 will help provide students with direct financial assistance awards, which this year comprises 64 percent of SLI's operating budget.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Founded in 1987, Skyline Literacy is a communitybased, non-profit organization with 34 years of experience providing adult ESL instruction (1993 to present), and citizenship instruction (2008 to present). Skyline is the only ESL provider that works with adults who are illiterate or have low literacy in their native language and the only provider of oneon-one ESL tutoring.

Skyline Literacy provides basic literacy, English for Speakers of Other Languages, and U.S. citizenship instruction to adult residents of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. Although the need for literacy, language and citizenship instruction continues to grow in the local area, government funding for adult education and citizenship has continued to decrease, which has demanded major alterations in the delivery of instructional services. Past sources of funding (e.g., USCIS) are no longer available to support vital programs, such as citizenship preparation. Through small classes, students are helped to set their goals and overcome the literacy and language barriers.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Strength In Peers is a nonprofit peer-run organization.

More than half of the Board of Directors and all staff are in active recovery from substance use, mental health, and trauma-related challenges. Grounded in their lived experiences, the organization envisions a world where all individuals have an abundance of recovery options and are supported in their right to decide their recovery pathway. Toward this vision, the organization’s mission is to offer hope, support and advocacy for those seeking recovery so that they can build resilience and thrive in their lives and communities.

Program Accomplishments: In Fiscal Year 2019 to 2020, Strength In Peers Served 1,077 unduplicated participants of which about onethird were residents of Shenandoah and Page Counties and two-thirds were residents of Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County. Its substance use and mental health recovery programs served 314 Shenandoah and Page participants and 229 Harrisonburg and Rockingham participants. They provide peer support, service navigation, counseling and telepsychiatry services to individuals who are homeless, returning from incarceration, or low income and live in rural communities. The Street Outreach Team provided peer support, connections to services and emergency supplies to 68 individuals experiencing homelessness.

More of our neighbors are experiencing homelessness than ever before. From September 2020 to August 2021, our Street Outreach Program served 129 individuals in Harrisonburg, a 36% increase over the previous year. Every week, our Street Outreach Team takes to the streets. It is composed of Certified Peer Recovery Specialists who help individuals to seek support for mental health and substance use challenges, navigate housing assistance programs and other community services, and provide transportation to appointments with service providers. They also provide emergency supplies, such as bus tickets, food items, toiletries, winter clothes, blankets, first aid kits, and flashlights.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Parents of children with I/DD have many challenges.

Information is critical yet there is no single source for it. The booklets will provide local, relevant, current, and detailed information on city, county, state, and national agencies and their services, and provide realistic, actionable information to help parents make informed decisions.

Program Accomplishments: The Arc serves individuals with developmental disabilities and works toward their community inclusion and access. We provided 47 adults with I/DD to/from home and community transportation (7,672 rides covering 41,616 miles). Consumers engaged in 5,504 hours of community engagement, 1,463 hours of center-based services and received 2,915 hours of inhome support despite the pandemic. In response to COVID, we created and delivered 10 2-hour virtual programs per week starting in June and continuing throughout the year to reduce social isolation, offer physical activities (i.e. yoga and dance) and provide respite from 24/7 care for families.

Parents of a child with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (I/DD), are parents for life. They need help to navigate through all the complexities of I/DD: their rights; critical resources; available services and supports in our community, state, and nation. The Arc will publish a series of guides so that windows of opportunity for financial or other types of support are not missed because parents don't know what is available and/or how to access them. The 6 guides will cover the lifespan of a person with I/DD and be distributed through schools and healthcare outlets.

Project: Welcome Home Refugee Project Village to Village sets up homes for new to our country refugee families moving to our area. We work with Church World Services to know how large families are, where they are moving and what items they need.

We gather things from the community through the year so we have needed items when families come. We do have to purchase some items that are not donated or that simply allow the house to feel like a home.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Village to Village originally began in Guatemala, adopting a small village to help them get to the place of self sufficiency. We have moved into Africa, India, Moldova and Paraguay doing the same thing. This happens through training, clean water systems and stoves as well as camps. We wanted to do something locally and working with refugee families seemed to fit the best with what we are doing outside of the country. We have worked with Church World Services over the past several years and continue to grow our partnership with them through refugee move ins for families and other events.

Program Accomplishments: We have built teams of volunteers that do our move ins, this consist of loading trailers, taking items to the refugee's home, cleaning and setting the home up so that when the family arrives they have a safe place to call home. We have several partners that work to get us the new items we need such as shampoo, toothpaste, etc. Some donate items monthly from their organizations, others host drives to gather needed items. We do a collection day once a month where our community brings furniture, clothes, dishes, bedding and all the home items we need for families.

Based in Harrisonburg, Virginia, VMMissions sends and supports approximately 60 mission workers and multiple short-term teams each year to engage in starting new churches, training leaders, and ministering to refugees, immigrants, students and the incarcerated. The Mission Training Center project was identified to meet a need for larger meeting and training space for VMMissions, to strengthen relationships with other organizations and to help the greater community by providing a space to gather.

Program Accomplishments: Our long-term mission program, transForm, has 43 workers serving in 13 countries and 4 states in ministries including church planting, community development, education and transformational business.

Way to Go empowers low-income workers in Harrisonburg-Rockingham to improve their quality of life by assisting them with their transportation needs. Limited public transit options result in the need for local residents to purchase and maintain a private vehicle in order to access community services and basic households needs.

However, private vehicle ownership costs often exceed the budgets of what low-income households can afford. The proposed project will support our Donated Vehicle and Client Vehicle Maintenance programs which help to ensure low-income workers obtain or retain their family vehicle.

History of the Organization/ Genesis of the Project: Way to Go began as a program of CART (the Community Association of Rural Transportation) in 2002 and later became an independent, charitable organization in 2005. Prior to January 2015, Way to Go was an all-volunteer led organization until hiring Benjamin Craig who currently serves as Executive Director. As the only organization in HarrisonburgRockingham and the surrounding region with a mission solely dedicated to mitigating transportation barriers for low-income workers, Way to Go transportation services are critical to ensuring this population can reliably and affordably access community services, basic needs, and opportunities that can help their families to move forward.
