| Facts And Circumstances Test |

| Current Year Facts and Circumstances: The Arts and Healing Initiative (AHI) has just over 21% of its support from the general public in 2014. AHI has received contributions from over 28 individuals several business, 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, services in kind goods have been donated to AHI for program use. The number of donors continues to grow. In 2014 AHI continues 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)given 48 matching grants (totaling $84,172.80) for drum equipment and our curriculum on the use of drumming for social-emotional skill building to organizations and individuals across the country who are delivering drumming experiences for underserved populations.organized 12 instructors to deliver a UCLA undergraduate course on Maximizing the Social and Emotional Benefits of the Arts in Winter Quarter 2014.delivered free programs to Arena Continuation High School, Junior Blind of America, Volunteer Action for Aging. delivered customized programs for the following community groups:Grant Elementary School (flash mob program for 5th grade boys for graduation).Lincoln Middle School (Chance to Dance program for special education students).YWCA Santa Monica/Westside (community drum circle and flash mob for quarterly A Girls Voice daylong program to prepare 5th grade girls with social-emotional skills, leadership, decision-making, and health education prior to entry into middle school..Collective Voices Foundation at Synergy Quantum Academy (socially/emotionally supportive drumming for 9th grade students.developed and edited a film of our training program for the Boys and Girls Club staff using rhythm, movement, and theater-based based tools to facilitate positive engagement throughout the day that can 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 adults and transitional aged youth dealing with mental illness and/or homelessness at Step Up on Second, Daniel's Place, and Ocean Park Community Center, for at risk and traumatized adolescents at A Safe Place for Youth, and for developmental disabilities at Village Glen .assisted with the Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre program in developing a follow up workshop to its "Drummin' Up Peace" (conflict management assembly) program. The follow up workshop is a 60-minute consolidation of the program that AHI developed, called "Beat the Odds: Social and Emotional Skill Building Delivered in a Framework of Drumming. This workshop is delivered to schools through Southern California, from San Diego to Bakersfield.received a $40,000 research grant ($20,000 of which was awarded in 2014) from the National Association of Music Merchants for a research study on the impact of our Beat the Odds Drumming Curriculum for Social and Emotional Skill Building on special education students. 7 special education teachers were trained to deliver the program and we are gathering follow up data on student social-emotional behavior.organized a panel of representatives from the national organizations of the creative arts therapies at a major international integrative medicine conference and local conferences at UCLA that were open to the public.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 resources.published 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/8092offered a free UCLA conference in April 2013 entitled, "On the Edge of Chaos: Finding Flow and Resilience through Creativity and the Arts, which featured (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 attracted the general public and professionals from all over Los Angeles County and beyond.launched a new Social Emotional Arts Certificate Program to teach educators, community arts professionals, and others in the design and delivery of programs that maximize the social-emotional benefits of the arts.adopted the remarkable Dance for All program and developed a training program to teach others how to deliver it through a $5,000 grant from the Boone Foundation. Dance for All is a therapeutic movement program for teens and adults with developmental disabilities. Through dance, yoga and performance opportunities, Dance for All builds a community that cultivates self-esteem and empowers individuals to find their vision, voice and leadership. obtained a grant from the International House of Blues Foundation of $3750 to provide drums, the Beat the Odds drumming curriculum for social and emotional skill building, and a performance opportunity to Charles Drew Middle School in the Los Angeles Unified School District, by training after school music personnel to deliver the program. The school has no formal music program, so this after school program helps to fill an opportunity gap in access to music experiences.To get this movement off the ground, our focus has been on the development of programs, partnerships, and substance. In so doing, Executive Director 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 |
