Facts And Circumstances Test
Part II, Line 17a--The Arts and Healing Initiative (AHI) has almost 13% of its support from the general public in 2012. AHI has received contributions from over 20 individuals and several foundations. AHI maintains a program for the solicitation of funds from the general public. The AHI website has a section for users to make donations. Additionally, contributed facilities in kind goods have been donated to AHI for program use. The number of donors continues to grow. In 2013 AHI continue to expand it donor base.The following is a narrative on the life history, accomplishments and promise of AHI:The Arts and Healing Initiative (AHI) is a unique nonprofit organization that has made tremendous headway in facilitating the use of the arts for mind/body wellness and healing in the community, as a vehicle for empowerment and transformation. It's 501(c) (3) status was obtained in November 2007.AHI's unique partnership with UCLA is highly strategic because it enables AHI to operate with a dual identity as UCLArts and Healing, which gives added credibility to its work. Such partnerships with UCLA are rare to achieve. It is made possible by the longtime affiliation that AHI's founding director has had with the university. She is currently on the Steering Committee of the UCLA Collaborative Centers for Integrative Medicine, of which UCLArts and Healing is an organizational member.In partnership with UCLA, we have offered innovative and affordable programs to the general public, without ever turning away anyone without the ability to pay. These programs, aimed at building networks among health and mental health professionals, artists, educators, and others provides us with an ongoing source of partnerships, such as those reflected below.We have: (a more detailed breakdown of our program partnerships can be found at the bottom of this letter)developed a training program for Boys and Girls Club staff using rhythm, movement, and theater-based based tools to facilitate positive engagement throughout the day that will be made available to every club in the nation.collaborated with the YWCA Santa Monica/Westside to develop "A Girl's Voice" a daylong program to empower elementary and middle school girls to deal with the social-emotional pressures that they face.brought process-oriented arts programs to schools serving at risk youth in South Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Santa Clarita Valley where all 6th and 7th grade students (over 7,000) received programming in partnership with Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center K-12 Arts Education Outreach.developed a sustainable program of creative arts therapies for mentally ill adults and youth at Step Up on Second and Daniel's Place.expanded the Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre program to include an eight week program of social and emotional skill building through drumming.organized a panel of representatives from the national organizations of the creative arts therapies at a major international integrative medicine conference.launched a new website that features video clips demonstrating our work and the related work of others, and that allows posting and searching for organizational, practitioner, conference, literature, training, and listserv resourcespublished two studies on the use of drumming in peer-reviewed integrative medicine journals (the major original one is here: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2011/250708/ - this level of program evaluation is rarely done by nonprofits) and in December 2012 published "Out of the Box: Positive Development and Social Change through the Arts" through the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, as part of its as part of its Kinder and Braver World Series. Written for the lay public, this piece talks about AHI's flagship evidence-based project Beat the Odds: Social and Emotional Skill Building Delivered in a Framework of Drumming as a case study to share with others how to maximize social-emotional benefits and youth access for those interested in developing arts programs. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/node/8092As part of our strategic outreach endeavor we are offering a free UCLA conference in April 2013 entitled, "On the Edge of Chaos: Finding Flow and Resilience through Creativity and the Arts, which will feature (1) keynote speaker, Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, one of the worlds leading researchers of positive psychology and the architect of flow; (2) research presentations and panels on creativity, stress, and self-regulation (including neurobiology, physiological functions, and emotional processes); (3) California State University, Northridge dance and opera performances on autism, trauma, mourning and loss; (4) panel presentations on creative arts therapy applications for people affected by trauma, mental illness, and autism; and (5) 1-hour break out experiential creative arts therapy workshops led by leading art, expressive poetry, drama therapy, music, and dance/movement therapists. This program is attracting the general public and professionals from all over Los Angeles County and beyond.This fall, we plan to launch a new certificate program and UCLA undergraduate course in maximizing social-emotional benefits of arts education, in partnership with the Visual and Performing Arts Education program within the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture.To get this movement off the ground, our focus has been on the development of programs, partnerships, and substance. In so doing, ping ho worked pro bono for 7 years. We have been grateful for the support of several private individuals who have given life to this movement, as established institutions, such as foundations, are not quick to embrace cutting edge work or research that is out of the realm of their understanding. For example, arts foundations and the arts education community tend to lean on support of product/performance-based work. Our work seeks to educate them as well regarding the importance of focusing on the process of creative expression not only for benefiting society but also to build value for their work and support for the future. And many foundations will fund only direct services, and not programs to enhance the capacity of other institutions which we believe to be more sustainable. All this is to demonstrate our value to society and to explain why we have not had or made the time to seek diverse sources of funding. We have had to prove ourselves first before making the case for funding. Our initial donors gave generously, which bought us time to accomplish what we have done. However, this has put some of our key donors perilously near the 2% level. We have just begun working with a grant writing consultant in order to raise funds from other sources, but it will take time to diversify. We also plan to obtain support from new private donors as well. The bottom line is that we must continue to obtain support from our existing donors in order to keep our growing operation running and we need more time in order to diversify our income sources. Thankfully, we have the wherewithal now to focus on raising funds as an objective.UCLArts and Healing Current Projects a sample in More DetailUCLArts and Healing has been partnering with the UCLA student-run Creative Minds Project (CMP) to serve adults affected by mental illness at Step Up on Second (adults) and Daniel's Place (youth), a Santa Monica-based organization. UCLArts and Healing has recruited mentors and graduate student interns/trainees to deliver free services in art, dance/movement, drama, and poetry therapies and also in drumming. The CMP is also recruiting UCLA freshmen and sophomores as volunteers to assist with program delivery. This project is supported by a Donald A. Strauss Foundation scholarship awarded to UCLA senior, Kendra Knudsen, through a statewide competition among academic campuses. See UCLA Today article citing UCLArts and Healing as the project partner: newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/prestigious-strauss-scholarships-234127.aspxUCLArts and Healing is on Phase Four in developing a summer training program for Boys and Girls Club of Santa Monica staff, to facilitate positive engagement and cooperation in club members throughout the day - even during transition times - using movement, rhythm, and theater-based techniques. Many of the summer staff have had no previous experience working with kids, let alone in a Boys and Girls Club. Once complete, our goal is to make this training available to every club in the nation. In collaboration with Santa Clarita Valley Performing Arts Center - K-12 Arts Education Outreach Program and each of four Santa Clarita Valley School Districts, UCLArts and Healing trained College of Canyons Teach students to assist in the delivery of a Beat the Odds (Social and Emotional Skill Building Delivered in a Framework of Drumming) experience for every 6th and 7th grader in Santa Clarita Valley. (7000+ students). The entire 8-week Beat the Odds program is now being delivered sustainabl
