The Brandon Hills Fireflies, a local women's group formed in 1969 to provide fellowship and community service, host an annual beef BBQ that engages over 450 people and raises funds for local charities including the Brandon Area Community Foundation. With declining rural populations, the group of 12 members continues their important work of keeping community members connected through activities and special events while also supporting organizations through their donations. The Brandon Hills Fireflies exemplify community spirit through fulfilling a need for connection in their area and giving back to the local community.

Dear Change-Maker,
Countless children in Los Angeles lack the family and community support structures required to be healthy and happy. These kids do not have access to typical educational resources and recreational outlets. Instead, they are surrounded by high crime rates and drug use. They struggle to make it safely through the school day, cope with a tumultuous home life, or get enough to eat – let alone receive the necessary guidance, instruction, and interaction.
An alarming 35% of LA School District high school students dropped out last year. More alarming is that it doesn’t have to be this way. The sooner we can provide children with the tools they need to be effective leaders, and the more often we can connect with them, the bigger the difference we can make! Our interaction benefits not only the child, but also the child’s family, friends, community – and thus, our communities, and yours.
Activating our Natural Leaders transforms our World.
As you may be aware, the KVBL Natural Leaders Program provides empowering, hands-on education to children in the Los Angeles area who are otherwise limited in what they see as possible for themselves and their futures. In the last four years, funds donated to the KVBL have been used to provide:
Teamwork and leadership training and exercises.
Emotional growth coaching, affirmation exercises and personal development support.
Basketball training with the Venice Basketball League’s best players and other celebrities.
Yoga, body alignment, and fitness training from certified fitness professionals.
Surfing instruction from world-renowned experts.
Sustainability, environmental and creative arts education and experiences.
Healthy, organic breakfasts and lunches, along with nutrition education.
Your sponsorship provides children with the resources, mentors, and experiences to activate the Natural Leader within each of them. Upon completion of the program, children return to their families and communities, empowered to lead by example and transform their worlds.
Without your support, we cannot continue providing children with this game-changing opportunity. Enclosed you will find more information on available sponsorship opportunities. To support our Natural Leaders or ask any questions, please contact me at your convenience.
With gratitude,

PCU - New Partnership at Christmas - 2017 (PCU Shares - Newsletter - Autumn ...Pentecostal Credit Union
New partnership at Christmas
We’re delighted to announce that we are now officially partnered with the New Testament Assembly in Tooting (NTA) in their long-established programme to deliver food hampers to people in Wandsworth at Christmas.
The Christmas Hamper Project was launched back in December 2008, by the late Amy Rose Powell MBE from the Women 2 Women ministry. She was concerned about members of the NTA Tooting Church, and people in the wider community, who were experiencing difficult times.
Responding to hardship
The project provides a box of food as a gift at Christmas to individuals or families in need – whatever their religious persuasion or ethnicity. Most of the boxes go to single parents, pensioners and households on a low income. The hampers – 2,914 of them in the past eight years – are delivered individually or via community groups.
The scriptural reference for the project is taken from Matthew 25:35-46:
“…for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me…
“Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
PCU sees this project as an important element of our corporate social responsibility programme. Corporate social responsibility is about contributing to the improvement of the community we are part of in some substantial way – and doing so in line with our ethics and values.
We view the local Christmas hamper programme as an essential local social service to individuals and families in desperate need at Christmas and we are privileged to take part in this.
In this project, me and my group had to create an Integrated Marketing Communication plan (IMC) for the Fisher House Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps veteran's families by providing them with accommodation for free while a loved one is receiving treatment. We had to define the target audiences, come up with our Key Insight, Message and Organizing Idea. We also developed tv commercials, print ad, radio ad and a below the line tactic; Also defining our media plan and budget allocation.
The KISMIF Charity Golf Tournament is a fast-paced, golfer friendly event! There is no pressure. It’s an enjoyable day at Siena Golf Club for both the novice and experienced player.
As our host, Sienna Golf Club will be having a continental breakfast with a Bloody Mary Bar, fantastic Live and Silent Auction items, Raffle items and a beautiful lunch awards ceremony.
A Report on the Dryden Rotary Charity Foundation and how The Rotary Club of Dryden has raised and dispursed over $1,000,000 over the past ten years.
Also includes how local charities and organizations can apply for future grants.
Christmas is a uniquely emotional time, it’s a time when we remember the things that matter most to us, BBDO, with our clients from around the world have used this occasion to tell stories that matter.

CHAPTER NINE Sample ProposalsThis chapter presents seven actual .docxchristinemaritza
CHAPTER NINE Sample Proposals
This chapter presents seven actual proposals that successfully won federal, state, and foundation grants. The first proposal was submitted by the Midwest Music Fest to the Winona Fine Arts Commission in Minnesota. The second was submitted by the Winona Dakota Unity Alliance to the Elizabeth Callender King Foundation in Minnesota. The third was submitted by the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation to the Will Rogers Institute-Variety Children’s Charity of Wisconsin. The fourth proposal was submitted by the Winter Park Day Nursery to the Winter Park Health Foundation in Florida. The fifth proposal was submitted by the Mentor Parent Program in Pennsylvania to the U.S. Department of Education. The sixth was submitted by the La Crosse Medical Health Sciences Consortium to the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Program in Wisconsin. The seventh proposal was submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program by Lancaster Emergency Medical Services Association in Pennsylvania.
You will note that the last three grants, all submitted to either a federal department, federal agency, or state program, tend to have longer narratives and are more complex than the other four grants. The Winona Fine Arts Commission application is relatively short and took far less time to write than the others.
These seven examples were chosen to illustrate the vast differences between the formats of proposals and funder specifications. They are concrete, real examples of proposals that combine the art of proposal writing with the technical aspects of what the funders were looking for.
These proposals are not perfect—they never are! However, the reviewers felt that each applicant responded clearly to the RFP or guidelines and presented a project they felt was worthy of being funded.

Dick McDonald, a highly regarded business
person and philanthropist who exemplified giving
back to his community, has supported BACF through
the Dick & Verda McDonald Family Fund in addition to
offering his expertise to the BACF Investment
Committee. Mr. McDonald was a driving force behind
theestablishmentoftheGreenAcresLodgeFund.The
Green Acres Lodge was a facility constructed in the
east end of Brandon in 1967 to provide an affordable
housing option for returning First and Second World
War Veterans. The last veteran resident vacated the
lodge in 2011. The foresight of Dick and a group of
community minded philanthropic people has turned
this site into a legacy that will benefit a wide variety
of very worthwhile organizations in Brandon and the

returning to Brandon in 1946. Following a brief stint
as manager of the North Hill IGA, Hap and Muriel built
their own IGA grocery store on Victoria Avenue west,
where they operated until their retirement in 1972.

TheHillsareAlivewithPhilanthropy
In March of 1969 a group of local women came together to fulfill their need of fellowship and community service in their
area. The group meets in the evenings hence the name Brandon Hills Fireflies came to be, as they would “light up the
night”.
One of the main goals for the Brandon Hills Fireflies group is to keep their community members connected through
community activities. Such activities that take place are tours of local businesses and other interesting venues,
presentationgivenbydifferentguestspeakersattheirmonthlymeetingsandorganizingspecialcommunityevents.
One such special community event has been hosting a beef pit BBQ since August of 1970, feeding up to 450 people.
Presently, the Brandon Hills Fireflies have 12 members and rely on a large number of other community members to help
withfoodpreparationandserving. ThisannualBBQengagesindividualsofallages,andwithhopethateventslikethis,

THE FOUNDATION
of my community
starts with you and me - more than charity
it’s the empathy i feel for the people where i live.
close to home is where the heart is,
where help goes farthest
my foundation helps me start this
people standing TALL in towns big and small, urban, rural, one and all.
