Videos of Our GranteesFollowing are videos highlighting some of the programs the foundation has funded, including some created by children themselves. (Note: These videos represent the types of organizations the foundation has funded in the past, and the nonprofits featured here may not necessarily be current grantees.)
San Mateo County Office of EducationThis video project, put together by students at Ben Franklin Middle and Robertson Intermediate schools in Daly City, is part of the San Mateo County Office of Education's Positive Youth Media Blitz. The program, funded in part by a $100,000 grant from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, aims to shift community perceptions of youth by projecting positive messages about youth in the community. In this project, students worked after school with media experts, including advertisers, graphic designers, hip hop artists, and video technology experts, to develop effective media messages. These videos are part of a year-long effort, and were featured in a special event for parents, led by students at the school.
Creative Arts ProgramThe Creative Arts program at St. Paul's Methodist Church started with just a drama class, but added music and dance in 2003, thanks to a three-year $90,000 grant from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health. Nearly 30 students attend one of two weekly after-school dance classes. About 15 regular students attend the after-school music class, and the drama class, with about a dozen regular students, takes center stage on Saturday mornings. All three classes perform several times a year. In addition, St. Paul's offers a five-week summer camp of classes, performances, and cultural field trips.
South Coast Children's ServicesThe Wildcats Program, run by Pescadero-based South Coast Children's Services (SCCS), got under way in 2000, after receiving a $57,000, two-year grant from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health. In 2003, the Foundation renewed and upped its support for Wildcats with a $135,000, two-year grant. Four times a week for two hours after school, 35 4th, 5th, and 6th graders spend as much time outside as the weather permits -- running around at the beach, hiking in nearby Butano State Park, walking through the avian-rich Pescadero Marsh, or learning how to swim in the outdoor pool of a local retreat center. At the end of the year, the kids go cross-country skiing at Bear Valley resort near Lake Tahoe.
