TransParent

May 8, 2025 by

TransParent

In a world that has become increasingly hostile to the realities of the transgender experience, TransParent  provides safe harbor and community to parents with a transgender family member. Originally created by families in St. Louis, today the organization is headed by Susan Halla and operates sixteen chapters in nine states. Put very simply, TransParent seeks  “to normalize this naturally-occurring human experience and to empower children to live authentically.” By creating opportunities for parents to connect with each other, fostering advocacy and providing resources, TransParent offers compassion and hope in an increasingly alarming environment.

Terra Uma

Terra Uma

Tomer Weinberg was severely injured at the beginning of the Second Lebanon War. As he continued his recovery he lost his father, whose hobby was wine-making, to a tragic motorcycle accident. At that time, Tomer made a promise to continue his father’s work. Little did he know the impact that decision would have on restoring his life and also those of many others suffering from PTSD.

Founded in April 2022, Terra Uma supports veterans coping with PTSD, helping them regain a full and meaningful life through vinotherapy – an innovative, pioneering rehabilitative process that integrates winemaking with healing, rooted in the deep connection between the human soul, the land, the vine and the wine.

Sport – Bridge to Education

March 28, 2024 by

Sport - Bridge to Education

Engaging in sports teaches kids so many life lessons. They learn about rules, discipline, boundaries, cooperation and more.  Dr. Rutie Pilz-Burstein has dedicated a good part of her life to sports and research on its impact. Using those years of experience and study led her to begin Sport-Bridge to Education which operates in many youth villages and utilizes different sports activities to reach vulnerable youth who have lost their way.

Rekindle

January 15, 2024 by

Rekindle

Charmaine Rice, a Black woman trained in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion practices, and Matt Fieldman, a White Jewish social entrepreneur and nonprofit professional, created Rekindle to bridge the ever-widening gap growing between two communities that at one time worked side-by-side to effect social justice and equity. Rekindle engages young leaders from both communities in frank and intense conversations and shared social action efforts to build greater understanding and mutual respect. First started in Cleveland, Rekindle has expanded to other communities throughout the country.

Our matching grant which was partially met by donations from participants themselves, is directed to general operations.

STREETSCAPE

January 15, 2024 by

STREETSCAPE

Jen Livovich has a deep personal connection to homelessness. An abusive marriage and alcoholism left her with very little until she found herself homeless on the streets of Boulder, Colorado, a city better known for its affluence and high cost of living.  Homeless shelters and sleeping on the streets became the norm, with countless unsuccessful efforts to break out of this endless cycle. It was only after getting frostbite on her left foot, that a Court Navigator successfully connected Jen to a sober-supported transitional housing program, where she received treatment and enrolled at Colorado State University.

When Jen returned to Boulder, her first initiative was “Save-a-Toe,” supplying warm socks to homeless people. Her new organization, with the help of other formerly homeless individuals, is dedicated to effective solutions to end homelessness in Boulder.

Our funds purchased necessary items like sleeping bags, backpacks and household items for individuals transitioning to housing.
