ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1
(CONTINUED FROM PART III) THE PARENTS AND STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO GIVE BACK FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THEY HAVE BEEN PRESENTED AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE THAT THE FOUNDATION IS ABLE TO PROVIDE. ESTABLISHED IN 2001, THE FOUNDATION WAS INSPIRED TO SUPPORT THIS COMMUNITY DUE TO THEIR TREMENDOUS HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AS WELL AS WANTING TO GIVE BACK TO THE COUNTRY THAT PRODUCES THE BEST CIGARS IN THE WORLD. ALL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS FOR THE FOUNDATION ARE UNDERWRITTEN BY THE FUENTE AND NEWMAN FAMILIES SO THAT 100% OF THE OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY COMPLEX, AS WELL AS THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OF THE PROJECT. CONTRIBUTIONS MAY ALSO BE MADE TO ASSIST OTHER NEEDED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD. THE FOUNDATION PARTNERED WITH THE INSTITUTO DOMINICANO DE DESARROLLO INTEGRAL (IDDI), A DOMINICAN-BASED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT FOR THE PAST 30-YEARS HAS BEEN FIGHTING POVERTY BY PROVIDING TRAINING AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE FOR THOSE LIVING IN BOTH URBAN AND RURAL REGIONS OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THROUGH EDUCATION, DISEASE PREVENTION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, EMPOWERMENT, LIVES OF BOTH THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THIS IMPOVERISHED REGION ARE IMPROVING. STUDENTS AND PARENTS NOW HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER, QUALITY EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND MUCH MORE. THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF THE FOUNDATION, IDDI AND OUR GENEROUS DONORS, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THESE CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO DREAM OF A FUTURE.
PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A
(CONTINUED FROM PART III) HIGH SCHOOL - STUDENTS OF THE CIGAR FAMILY SCHOOL HAD NO PLACE TO GO TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION AND FINISH HIGH SCHOOL. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THESE CHILDREN, CIGAR FAMILY HIGH SCHOOL WAS OPENED IN 2005. NOW OVER 250 STUDENTS EXPERIENCE A WELL-ROUNDED CORE EDUCATION OF GRAMMAR, MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE, LIKE MANY AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOLS. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED, SUCH AS COMPUTERS AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING. STUDENTS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN MANY EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AT THE COMPLEX SUCH AS THE SPORTS PROGRAMS AND THE ORGANIC FARMING INITIATIVES. STUDENTS ARE LEARNING HOW TO BECOME LEADERS, BE SELF MOTIVATED AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES, THUS BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY THAT HAS BEEN PREVALENT IN THIS AREA FOR SO LONG.
PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B
(CONTINUED FROM PART III) DENTAL PROGRAM - BEFORE THE CLINIC OPENED, IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A CHILD 18 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER TO HAVE NEVER SEEN A TOOTHBRUSH, NEVER MIND RECEIVING ANY DENTAL CARE. THANKS TO THE CIGAR FAMILY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, A DENTIST IS ABLE TO VISIT THE COMPLEX ONCE A WEEK, PROVIDING STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SERVICES RANGING FROM REGULAR CLEANINGS TO CAVITY WORK AND OVERALL GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE. TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTHPASTE ARE GIVEN OUT AT THE COMPLEX, ENSURING A BRIGHTER SMILE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. WATER PURIFICATION - PRIOR TO THE HELP OF THE CIGAR FAMILY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, CHILDREN HAD TO WALK MILES TO THE NEAREST RIVER TO COLLECT UNSANITARY WATER FOR THEIR FAMILY TO DRINK. THROUGH THE GENEROUS EFFORTS OF MANY CIVIC GROUPS AND VOLUNTEERS AT THE CIGAR FAMILY COMPLEX, THESE SAME CHILDREN NOW HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN, SANITARY DRINKING WATER.
PROGRAM SERVICE DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C
(CONTINUED FROM PART III) THE SPORTS AND RECREATION PROGRAMS INCLUDE BASKETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, BASEBALL, KARATE AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. THE COMPLEX ALSO HOSTS SEVERAL SPORT TOURNAMENTS AND A CHILDREN'S SUMMER CAMP. OUR GRANT SUPPORT OF MAINTENANCE AND LAND DEVELOPMENT ARISES FROM THE SEVERE WEATHER OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC WHICH REQUIRES CONTINUAL MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY AND STRUCTURES AND THE OCCASIONAL REPAIR OF STORM DAMAGE.
Description of other program services
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d
NUTRITION AND AGRICULTURE: BY MEANS OF GRANTS MADE TO THE DOMINICAN FOUNDATION (A U.S. CHARITY) AND THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH IDDI (DOMICILED IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC THAT OPERATES THE CFC COMPLEX), THE PRIMARY SCHOOL WITHIN THE CIGAR FAMILY COMPLEX GIVES STUDENTS A NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AT NO COST. FOR SOME, THIS MAY BE THEIR ONLY NUTRITIOUS MEAL OF THE DAY. THROUGH SOME OF THE VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS OFFERED, THE CIGAR FAMILY COMPLEX GROWS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR OWN FOOD BY PLANTING CROPS, MAINTAINING A FISH AND SHRIMP POND AND HARVESTING HONEY FROM BEES. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE A VALUABLE, COST-EFFECTIVE MEANS TO FEED THE CHILDREN AND ALSO PROVIDE INVALUABLE TOOLS TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES FOR THOSE THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO LEARN HOW TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR OWN FAMILIES.
