VCF FY2019-2020 Docket III FullDirect Service Grant Recommendations Inclusive Action for the City Community Service 2008 $1,106,670 15 $60,000 $34,725 Inclusive Action for the City includes on its Board of Directors many recognizable leaders among a new generation of well-educated and highly effective communicators. Many of the organization's leaders grew up in East LA and received scholarships to study at this nation's most prestigious schools. They connected through Graduate Programs at UCLA and other area schools concerned with improving communities after social disruption. The organization's impact can be understood in its achievements over its history - $500,000 in low-income loans to food entrepreneurs, nearly 90,000 lbs of fresh affordable produce procured to support and make businesses profitable and more than 7,000 participants in educational programs and workshops to advance knowledge to improve economic development in local communities. In response to current circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Inclusive Action (in conjunction with East LA Community Corporation and Public Counsel) have established an emergency relief program - Street Vendor Emergency Fund - to provide funding support to small businesses in the area surrounding the city of Vernon. The target businesses are those likely to have been overlooked by other, more broadly distributed federal and municipal support services or that require further financial assistance. Inclusive Action for the City, a 501(c)(3) charitable purposes organization was formed in 2015 as an outgrowth of LURN, the Leadership for Urban Renewal Network. LURN engaged committed urban planners, entrepreneurs and civic leaders in research and community action to better understand and partner with community residents to improve economic conditions in low income areas of Los Angeles, including Boyle Heights and other areas of concern to VCF. They embarked on an aggressive advocacy plan with street vendors, home based- businesses and food purveyors. The success of their campaigns and civic engagement led to formation of Inclusive Action for the City, a community development non-profit. The organization is governed by a ten member Board of Directors and managed by five staff with expertise in finance, marketing, business development and capitalization. The organization's mission is to bring people together to build strong local economies that uplift low income urban communities through advocacy and transformative economic development. 18 and over multi-generational families all NA all NA low-income Immigrants The applicant proposes to engage small business owners, primarily restaurant owners in the City of Vernon, to assist them in recovery from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 shut down of their establishments. They will recruit and interview qualified business owners, provide technical assistance and coaching in applying for loans and grants to regenerate their businesses and assist with financial management. Not known at this time Improved earnings and contributions to tax base of Vernon businesses 12 31 2018 The proposed program specifically aligns with the VCF goal to strengthen and support non-profit organizations that benefit residents and neighborhoods, and recognizes the value of shared responsibility for the well-being of neighboring communities now and into the future. Under current circumstances the program additionally provides valuable economic relief to small businesses in the VCF area during a broad-reaching social and economic crisis. The program, if funded, will be featured on the organization's web site. What previous projects has the applicant successfully implemented? Inclusive Action was a prominent participant in the campaign to create a permit system for street vendors in Los Angeles and established the Community Markets Purchasing Real and Affordable Foods (COMPRA) initiative - a purchasing cooperative with the goal of providing healthy, locally sourced produce to small markets in "food deserts". This particular initiative has currently distributed over 200,000 pounds of produce to over 120 stores. Their micro-lending program (Semi'a Fund) has distributed a total of $460,000 to 48 small businesses. List any forseeable challenges that the applicant may encounter in the implementation of this proposal or in general: The timing of the grant allocation may preclude the organization with assisting businesses to acquire resources currently available through Federal Cares ACT and Payroll Protection Programs. -------o Funding Recommendation Fund this proposal? I Recommended Amount: 1$34,725 Suggested revision(s) to proposal/fund amount, if applicable: The applicant initially applied for $60,000 however available funds at the end of the fiscal year preclude a grant of that amount. Applicant will be encouraged to reapply for funding in the next fiscal year for the City of Vernon if small businesses find the services helpful. I Staff reviewer: !Fran Jemmott Signed: cf�/4� Date:� I 26 1 2020 1 Annual Report 2019 2 Inclusive Action for the City is a community and economic development organization whose mission is to bring people together to build strong, local economies that uplift low-income urban communities through advocacy and transformative economic development initiatives. 3 Friends, When this decade began, our organization was only an idea in the minds of our founders. In those early days we had big ideas of bringing positive changes to the communities we cared about. Over the last 10 years, we worked to bring those ideas to life in order to create a real and lasting impact to the underserved communities in which we lived and worked. We reached many milestones along the path towards creating an inclusive and equitable economy. We helped launch the Los Angeles Street Vendor Campaign which advocated for (and won!) the decriminalization of street vending in Los Angeles and throughout California; we created the Semi’a Fund and the (Re)Store Fund to assemble and deploy capital to marginalized entrepreneurs; and we met with community members and conducted research to produce dozens of reports on some of the most pressing issues facing our cities. This year continued to bring us opportunities to invest in leadership, our communities, and our own identity as an organization. It seems like ages ago, but it was just this past June that we changed the name of our organization from LURN to Inclusive Action for the City. The name change was part of a celebration of our work to date: 10 years of advocacy and economic development initiatives. Our re-branding was part of a two year process to examine our work to date and prepare for the future. The Board of Directors and staff engaged in intentional discussions on how we invest in our communities and how our organization’s internal systems need to be aligned in order to make an impact. The result of this work was not only a new name, but also bold moves from our founders who decided to develop pathways for new leadership at the organization by stepping aside to create space for others to lead (leadership personified!). Indeed, our new name, Inclusive Action, describes how we always have and will continue to take action in our communities. Nearly everything we’ve done over the past 10 years has been done with partners and community leaders. To build cities that work for the historically marginalized, we have to work with others. We need to serve each other. We need to work together with a new level of urgency. This core philosophy drove our work for the last decade and will remain our guiding principle as we continue on this path as Inclusive Action for the City. You’ll see in this report important progress in this spirit. Although we changed our organization’s name, we remain committed to our advocacy efforts and the economic development initiatives that inform them. In 2019, we expanded our capacity to distribute capital to the neighborhoods we serve. As a result of our work, thousands of dollars were deployed to micro-entrepreneurs as they build their businesses and wealth to support their families. We also doubled down on our work to support street vendors as we monitored the implementation of the new street vending program and shared best practices on how other cities can adopt their own systems. We also “broke ground” this year on a new project that aims to preserve small businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods. We’re immensely grateful for the support we’ve received this year from partners and friends in the community development field and beyond. We couldn’t be where we are without you. As we move into the new decade, we’re excited to continue our fight towards creating an inclusive economy.

The conditions in our communities were not created by accident, but by policies with intentional design. Yes, policies have helped communities, but they’ve also harmed them by segregating residents, creating affordable housing shortages, and restricting capital to only the privileged few. To change these systems, we need to understand where these policies came from and who they were meant to serve. At Inclusive Action, our policy research also informs our economic development initiatives with the intention of making sure that our work is rooted in the lived experiences of the communities we serve. 7 Los Angeles Street Vendor Campaign After Los Angeles legalized street vending at the end of 2018, we dedicated this year to monitoring the implementation of the legalization effort and tracking the development of the street vendor permit itself. As expected, there was a lot of confusion among street vendors about what exactly the City passed, so a key component of our work this year was education. With the LASVC, we disseminated information to vendors about how legalization would impact their lives. This year we assisted over 500 vendors! In March, the LASVC held a summit for vendors to learn about the regulations they would be subject to in the coming year. From March until August, we held capacity building workshops for vendors to see how they could build their financial capacity, as well as vend healthy food. Finally, we helped ven- dors obtain their California Seller’s Permit and their City of Los Angeles Business Tax Regis- tration Certificate - two of the multiple permits they will need to qualify for a vending permit in the City of Los Angeles. Although legalizing vending last year was a huge policy milestone, there were other related policies that were being developed this year. In November, the City Council approved a street vending permit fee that, despite our advocacy efforts, is set much too high for most vendors. In 2020, we will continue to work with our allies and City Council to work to ensure that a street vending program works for all street vendors. 8 Know Your City Podcast Our podcast is a place for us to nerd out as we hear about the great community development work being done around Los Angeles and California. We launched season two and hosted a few local leaders - Lou Calanche of Legacy L.A., Alfred Fraijo, Jr. of Sheppard Mullin, and Ro- sten Woo, a local artist who makes policy easy to understand. We talked about the origins of LURN/Inclusive Action, Los Angeles being the only major city without a Youth Department, and operational transparency of governments in creating equitable policy. Season two will continue in 2020 with more conversations with our city’s thought leaders! Adopt-A-Lot | Free Lots Angeles Free Lots Angeles formed back in 2013 to transform vacant lots in low-income neighborhoods into spaces that positively impact the lives of existing residents. With a similar goal, the Adopt-A-Lot Pilot Program was established in 2018 by City Council after two years of advocacy from Free Lots Angeles. Adopt-A-Lot established a formal channel for community members to “adopt” city-owned vacant lots in their community. The program aligns with our belief that community members know what’s best for their own community. Neighbors who get involved in a lot activation participate in a participatory design and budgeting process used by “adoptees” that help determine what neighbors want to see on the lot and how resources should be used to activate their space. In 2019, we created all the pieces needed to formalize this new program and establish processes for “adopting” the lots in the Pilot program. The Master Lease that turned over the pilot lots to Free Lots Angeles was signed at the end of September 2019 - officially launching the program and kicking off the adoption of our first lot in North Hills. Our partners at Kounkuey Design Initiative developed a prototype “kit of parts:” a set of physical pieces or blocks that can be connected together in various ways to form “furniture” for a lot based on the priorities of the community. The first lot in the pilot is located in North Hills and has been adopted by our friends at Pacoima Beautiful. There was a Community Vote Day in October where 90 local residents voted on what amenities should be on the lot through a participatory budgeting process. Ultimately, they chose to have an open field, lounge area, garden beds, play pieces, and a community table! In the second lot, a group of engaged residents have adopted the lot and are currently in the outreach phase of the process. The remaining four lots in the pilot are waiting to be activated and are expected to have outreach begin within the first half of 2020. 9 10 Economic Development Initiatives Paired with our policy work is Inclusive Action’s economic development initiatives that get capital into the hands of people who have historically been kept from it. Without access to capital, it is difficult to access secure housing, a comfortable living, and healthy food. Our economic development initiatives provide access to capital for micro and small businesses throughout Los Angeles County; from street vendors to corner stores, our programs provide a means for building wealth through working capital, cooperative purchasing, and alternative ownership models. Expanding our initiatives to meet the needs of residents in underserved neighborhoods provides another avenue for building wealth in low-income areas. 11 Semi’a Fund Semi’a Portfolio At A Glance The Semi’a Fund is Inclusive Action’s micro-lending program, whose mission is to provide access to capital to street vendors and other underserved business owners in Los Angeles County. This program grew exponentially in 2019; this year we deployed 26 loans totaling just over $157,000 and recorded over 530 hours of business coaching. In addition to capital, each loan client receives one-on-one business coaching which helps Semi’a Fund borrowers grow and sustain their businesses. With our help, entrepreneurs have designed their first business cards, attracted new catering clients, and have even set up online profiles to boost their customer base. Inclusive Action has now deployed a total of $469,000 to 48 small businesses. In 2020, we expect the Semi’a Fund to grow. In addition to maintaining a portfolio of nearly $500,000 in capital, we expect to double our ability to lend. As Los Angeles prepares to is- sue its first permits to street vendors, we are working hard to equip ourselves with the tools to help entrepreneurs get the capital they need to buy certified equipment. To this end, we just began the application process for Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) certification and look forward to finalizing that certification by the end of next year. 47% 31% 13% 9% Business Segments Race & Ethnicity Businesses We Serve Latino Asian African American Street Vendors Brick & Mortar Mobile Food Vendors Other White 58% women-owned 96% low-income 91% immigrant-owned 98% minority-owned COMPRA Foods This year, our produce distribution enterprise, COMPRA Foods, continued to expand its reach. Every week, we connect with convenience stores and small grocers across Los Ange- les who are seeking affordable produce and delivery services so they can be a purveryor of produce in food deserts. This year, we had 62 clients place orders through our initiative with 29 new stores, cafes, and daycares added this year. We expanded the number of delivery days for our convenience stores to four days a week to allow for more purchases to continue the availability of produce for their communities. Through increased marketing assistance and equipment to scale up sales, COMPRA Foods stores increased their purchases by an average of 11%. In total, we distributed over 70,000 pounds of produce this year. COMPRA Foods has now distributed 202,000+ pounds of produce and delivered to 124 stores. 2019 Highlights 8 stores received customized branding 20 scales provided 75% stores recruited introduced produce 13 Community Owned Real Estate (CORE) Micro-Business Accelerator (MBA) In a gentrifying community, small businesses are often the first to be displaced. In these communities, small businesses without leases are subject to sudden increases from land- lords who see an opportunity to capitalize on the speculative real estate market. It’s not un- common to see small businesses experience a double or tripling of their rent overnight. We believe that small businesses are an integral part of the DNA of a community and we should find ways to preserve spaces for entrepreneurs who are committed to serving a community. To this end, Inclusive Action launched an exciting real estate project alongside its part- ners East Los Angeles Community Corporation, Little Tokyo Service Center, and Genesis LA. Together, we formed the Community-Owned Real Estate (CORE) Project and began our mission to stabilize commercial rents and preserve small businesses in neighborhoods facing gentrification. By acquiring 5 buildings across LA’s Eastside, we removed them from speculative real estate market and helped to preserve 13 small businesses and one cultural center. Our plan is to prepare the tenants of these buildings to become part owners of their buildings in the coming years. We believe this project can set a precedent for how community-based organizations can fight back against gentrification and displacement. We are excited to learn from the CORE project and disseminate that knowledge to organizations seeking to replicate and scale this model. In communities across Los Angeles, entrepreneurs are struggling to stay in their communi- ties and are seeking support, both in the form of capital and knowledge. To this end, Inclu- sive Action will launch the Micro-Business Accelerator (MBA) in 2020, a pilot initiative that works to preserve micro-businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods like East LA or South LA by providing business coaching and financial tools so they can purchase the real estate on which they work. The MBA plans to enroll up to 10 entrepreneurs in a 24-month program that provides tech- nical assistance, access to capital, and personalized support to acquire a commercial real estate asset for their business. The MBA values working cooperatively: entrepreneurs are to help each other complete their assignments and fully understand and apply what they learn at the accelerator. Once the cohort successfully completes all the modules, we will spend more one on one time with each entrepreneur to prepare them to present to funders, landlords, and stake- holders that will help them achieve their goal of purchasing their own commercial real estate in their community. 14 15 Leadership Development Inclusive Action is committed to supporting the next generation of change-makers in a way that helps them navigate the complex systems of equitable programs and policies. Over the last two years, we have developed two major initiatives in leadership development: the Research Fellows and our internships. This year we hosted a stellar cohort of three Research Fellows and five interns, all of which have done work at the intersection of Policy Advocacy and our Economic Development Initiatives. 16 Research Fellows Meet the Fellows! Our Research Fellows Program is an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to work with Inclusive Action on applied research projects. The Fellows’ researched a broad range of topics that aligned both with their academic interests and Inclusive Action’s mission. This year’s Research Fellows cohort represented three Southern California universities. As the culmination of the program, their research was showcased at PLUS2. Stephanie Camacho Arriola is a second year Masters of Urban and Regional Planning student at Cal Poly Pomona. She conducted research on the Business Interruption Fund (BIF) that LA County Metro has for businesses affected by the construction of their new metro lines. For her research, she interviewed small businesses receiving funds from Metro along a small portion of the almost- finished Crenshaw Line in Leimert Park. This was combined with secondary research that had been done regarding the effectiveness of this fund during the Red Line construction in Hollywood. She produced a list of recommendations to adjust the BIF to further help small businesses in construction areas. Kyra Baffo is a Senior at UCLA, majoring in Global Studies. She did research on cooperatives and the policies that Los Angeles could adopt to uplift worker cooperatives. Through direct interviews with leaders in LA, New York City, and Oakland, as well as secondary research on policies in the US, she created a set of recommendations for Los Angeles. NYC and Oakland were chosen as cities to model due to their existing robust framework for supporting cooperatives. The recommendations she produced are specific policies that Los Angeles can adopt to help foster cooperative ownership of businesses. Paola Fernandez graduated from USC with a Masters of Public Policy in May 2019. She is now working as a Consultant in Government & Public Services at Deloitte. Her research focused on small businesses in terms of gentrification and their resilience to it in the neighborhood of Highland Park. She performed secondary research around small business gentrification and innovative approaches to help businesses weather the storm, followed by contextualizing interviews with small businesses along the Figueroa Corridor of Highland Park to understand what businesses needed most to adapt to a changing clientele. Her recommendations for what could be done to help small businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods had multiple points of consideration for any future endeavors Inclusive Action takes in this space. 17 Research Assistants & Interns Inclusive Action has had the pleasure of hosting many interns over the years. We have found that working with young professionals aids our organization in all of its initiatives and helps guide the trajectory of emerging leaders. We have been lucky to have eager students help us in our initiatives. This year, we had five interns and research assistants work with the organization to advance policy research, underwrite Semi’a Loans, input valuable data to track our programmatic progress, and review country-wide initiatives to understand the landscape of alternative ownership models. Emily Makini and Amanda Zeidner were in graduate school when they aided in general policy research and research on alternative ownership models. Aidan Birnbaum helped us understand the implications of Opportunity Zones for those investing in them. Alyssa Lopez worked both with our Semi’a Fund and our research and advocacy team to help advance both of those initiatives. Katrina Aubry is currently working with our Semi’a Fund to help with technical assistance to clients and underwrite new loans. Without the work of these five students, our organization would not have reached so many goals! 18 Events and Convenings Our events are an opportunity for community economic development professionals to come together to build new relationships, share ideas, and identify ways to work together. This year we convened over 600 people through our events including the Planning and Land Use Strategies Summit (PLUS2) and Summer Nights & City Stars! 19 PLUS2 (Planning and Land Use Strategies Summit) Summer Nights & City Stars The Planning and Land Use Strategies Summit (PLUS2) is a dynamic convening of leaders, thinkers and change-makers who come together to share their work and dream up an actionable vision for the communities in which we work. This year, we hosted over 375 people (our highest attendance yet!) for our 7th annual PLUS². This year’s theme was “The Inclusive City,” and we learned from leaders who are addressing the lack of affordable housing, the acceleration of gentrification and displacement, increased income inequality, climate change, and food insecurity. All 8 panels brought in unique information, tying together ideas of stewardship, partnership, and collaboration in pursuit of inclusivity in our communities. Reflections from the event and key lessons we learned were published in a report made available to the public on our website. This year’s event was also special because we dedicated time to announce our name change from LURN to Inclusive Action for the City, as well as the transition of our Founder and Board Chairman, Alfred Fraijo Jr. who served the organization for over 10 years. This annual party is where we celebrate “unsung” heroes of our City who work to make it better, especially for the most marginalized and underrepresented. This year we hosted over 150 guests at our 7th annual event and celebrated three amazing leaders at City Hall who helped legalize street vending in Los Angeles last year. We honored Marisa Alcaraz from Councilmember Price’s Office, Jesse Leon from Councilmember Huizar’s Office, and Dennis Gleason from Councilmember Buscaino’s Office. We were moved by their work on behalf of their City Council offices to move such an important legislation forward. 20 21 Consulting Aside from our Policy Advocacy and Economic Development Initiatives, we also take on projects that support other organizations whose mission aligns with ours. This year, we took on a few projects that aligned with our expertise and our passion: • LA County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) - Inclusive Action planned, researched, and prepared a sidewalk vending policy recommendation report for the County of Los Angeles by hosting seven listening sessions throughout LA County, conducting surveys of hundreds of vendors, and then authoring a detailed report with all relevant information. This work was done in conjunction with our partners at ELACC, Public Counsel, and LA Food Policy Council. • First 5 LA - Inclusive Action helped four Best Start Communities facilitate and train residents throughout Los Angeles County on participatory design practices. • SPARCC - Inclusive Action conducted research with From Lot to Spot and the Southeast Asian Community Alliance (SEACA) on the possible correlation of pocket park development and the rise of property values. We worked closely with the UCLA Center of Neighborhood Knowledge to provide data to this team on how property values are impacted by pocket parks. 22 23 Looking Forward We’re excited for the new year! 2020 marks the first year we will begin and end as Inclusive Action for the City and we think it is the perfect year to take on new challenges, while doubling down on our existing programs, policy research, and advocacy. Next year we hope to obtain our CDFI Certification, opening the doors for our organization to facilitate the delivery of more resources for entrepreneurs and working families across Los Angeles County. We will also be sharing our work to stop small business gentrification widely, in hopes that other communities can replicate it and improve our model. Finally, we will be launching our Micro-Business Accelerator (MBA) to help small businesses work towards owning the spaces they do business in. On the policy front, we plan on coalescing a vision for equitable economic development strategies at the City and County level, complete with policy recommendations we feel leaders should consider to advance equity. Most importantly, we plan on continuing to work with stakeholders all across the city to make sure we’re building an inclusive city. We’re grateful for a good year and are looking forward to 2020! 24 25 Our Funders We’re grateful to our funders who support our organization and the work we do to help fulfill our vision for a more equitable economy. We believe the support we receive is a testament to the sense of urgency with which people feel we must act. Thank you to all our funders!

(250 words, maximum) For more than 130 years, the Y's mission in LA has been to strengthen communities through programs focused on Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. The YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles is one of the oldest, largest, and highest-impact Y Associations in the world. From 1882 to today, the Y in LA has realized its calling through continued, focused outreach to our neighbors and today offers a wide spectrum of programming that addresses the needs of youth and families across the region through 26 local branches, three camp sites, and over 170 program locations that benefit 400,000 members and more than 500,000 participants. The Weingart East LA Y (WELA Y) and Southeast Rio Vista Family Y (SERV Y) are two of the YMCA’s four “urban branches,” Y’s that focus their work in LA’s urban core and bring the proven quality of Y programs, accessible to all, to communities that are among America’s most in need of health, fitness, and community programs for youth, families, and seniors. For communities served by both of these Ys, including Vernon and its environs, the YMCA brings access to wellness for families working to maintain good health, often with less access to nutrition education and safe, free play space. It brings stronger, more sustainable efforts to encourage senior support, civic engagement, and local collaboration, all of which result in deeper community bonds. It brings greater access to quality, year-round sports and fitness programming for youth, including those who could not otherwise access any. What is the target demographic for your services? The Weingart East Los Angeles Y focuses on serving under- resourced youth and families in Boyle Heights, East Los 2 / 4 Angeles, El Sereno, Lincoln Heights, and the City of Vernon. The targeted areas are in the 80th percentile for lowest educational attainment in Los Angeles. This means high school drop-out rates of 48% compounded with 10% unemployment in adults and nearly 60% of households live below 200% of Poverty Threshold. No one is denied membership due to an inability to pay. At the WELA Y, more than 90% of participants and members are low-income, 100% face significant barriers to their wellness, and 100% of their membership and program costs must be partially or fully subsidized. Youth in these communities face enormous barriers to breaking the cycles of poverty and poor health into which they born, and the communities themselves need the coordinated efforts of local leaders to build system capacity to create lasting improvement. The Weingart East Los Angeles Y serves over 2,400 members and over 1,200 youth annually – 88% of whom are Hispanic/Latino. The Southeast-Rio Vista Family Y primarily serves the communities of Cudahy, Maywood, Vernon, and Huntington Park, and also has members from Bell, Boyle Heights, Commerce, and unincorporated East Los Angeles. In these communities, 90% of families contend with no access to licensed child care, only 5.3% of adults have a four-year college degree, and 55% of children are overweight or obese. The SERV Y annually reaches 10,000 individuals – 96% of whom are Hispanic/Latino – including 5,400 youth and over 1,000 families through memberships. Among our members, more than 80% are aged 19 or younger and 64% of families with young children live below the Federal Poverty Level. Nearly all of our members require financial aid, and 75% of individuals served are low-income. The SERV Y receives key partnership support, financial and in general community support, from the City of Vernon. What period of time are the requested funds expected to cover?2019-2020 Please attach the proposed budget for your project (No response) 3 / 4 Describe your organization’s history, listing significant achievements, accomplishments and recognition: (250 words, maximum) The Weingart East Los Angeles Y is the leading community center in its area for youth, families, and seniors, and 8,000 people of all ages walk through its doors each month. Founded in 1911, the branch provided its region with its first-ever athletic facilities and sports fields, and for 105 years since, the Y has provided a diverse community with values-based programs that foster positive life choices and the building of interpersonal bridges. The Southeast Rio Vista Y, which opened in 2013 after Y efforts in the neighborhood that go back 80 years, reaches 10,000 youth and families annually. In the last year, these branches: -taught water safety to 2,574 youth with no other access to such programs; -educated 186 youth, adults, and seniors in Healthy Living Programs such as Fitness Classes, Nutrition Programs, Obesity Prevention; -connected seniors through senior programs, senior services, and a wellness center fully equipped with exercise machines and trained professional staff to assist hundreds of older people in meeting their wellness goals; -served 6,646 youth with Youth Development Programs including computer classes, Youth & Government leadership training, dance programs, enrichment services, and youth sports, and nutrition program; -engaged 978 youth in the Y’s proven in-school fitness program, PLAY; -provided access to 156 lower-income kids to camp over the summer; and -served 391 young children and families in free- and/or low-cost preschools and Early Learning Readiness programs. * Describe how your organization and/or project will improve the community of Vernon and/or its surrounding areas: (500 words, maximum) The impact of the WELA and SERV Ys continue to grow, as evidenced in recent years’ reports. Last year, thanks in part to the City of Vernon, the YMCA completed the largest initiative in our 134-year history, the Urban Initiative: Cradle to Career Success. The Initiative built the capacity of the urban branches to offer proven Y programs for youth from infancy to college and career success. We then secured these programs with endowed funding. With this youth program continuum secure, the WELA and SERV Ys are prioritizing a pressing need: support for new immigrants through New American Welcome Centers (NAWCs). LA is home to nearly 3.5 million immigrants, one third of the population of LA County. With 401,000 naturalization-eligible immigrants, LA has the second-largest such population in the US. Yet, immigrants and refugees face a variety of integration hurdles: barriers to information, lack of context for US bureaucracies, low educational levels, limited English, financial struggles, prejudice, and trauma from a 4 / 4 past that sparked migration. Immigrants today also face increasing public animosity, which can make them more fearful of government systems, even those designed to help. When immigrants are cut off from integration, they often remain trapped in cycles of poverty, which harms them and adds tremendous cost to our educational, healthcare, and criminal justice systems. The LA Y has now embedded NAWCs in five Ys across LA. The first opened at the SERV Y in June 2017, and the NAWC at the WELA Y opened in 2018. Combined, these two NAWCs have now served over 6,734 individuals. Collectively, YMCA NAWCs now provide at least 4,000 immigrants and refugees a year with group and individualized citizenship assistance, “Know Your Rights” workshops, and resource fairs. NAWCs also provide referrals to community partners who help with the more specialized services commonly needed by immigrants and refugees: other direct legal services, economic integration and employment services, and general education (including ESL and GED classes). The LA Y is now recognized and accredited by the Department of Justice as a provider of legal services to immigrants. The DOJ has designated only 23 people in all of LA as Partially Accredited Representatives, able to provide direct assistance with immigration forms, and 2 of those 23 are staff members at the Y. The LA Y is the only Y granted funding for the state of California to do this work. Like all Y programs, NAWCs are staffed by people with cultural and linguistic fluency relevant to their communities. These efforts link inextricably to the Y’s wider array of services, which help program participants find childcare, build friendships, get and stay healthy, and keep their kids safely engaged in enriching activities outside of school. Altogether, the Ys with NAWCs help new Americans not just to become integrated citizens, but to thrive with healthy spirit, mind, and body. A 2019 priority for the WELA and SERV Ys is supporting infrastructure for the expansion of NAWC work and its integration into all branch operations. If selected for award, how might your organization promote its Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant? The Y widely recognizes and celebrates its supporters through diverse media of all platforms across Greater Los Angeles, one of the largest media markets in the world. Recognition efforts included press releases to all major and local media in the region, social media campaigns, email blasts reaching more than 790,000 YMCA email and news subscribers, mentions on the Y website and in board and corporate presentations, and inclusion in the Y’s annual report.

The organization’s latest annual report for 2018 indicated it served 536 unduplicated students through a variety of classes that operate six days a week from 2 pm in the afternoon until 8 pm in the evening. More than 22,000 lessons were provided with 48% of the student body receiving subsidized instruction. Typical classes cost $16 with many supplementary activities including orchestra and mariachi provided free of charge. LA Music and Art is supported by a number of prominent donors and foundations. The organization requests support for reasonable capital improvements for a building which it owns and over which it retains full site control. LA Music and Art successfully manages hundreds of classes each year as well as public performances and programs. Their robust fundraising activities result from a energetic and colorful website, testimonials on other social media sites, and consistently addressing growing multicultural needs of the community. These teaching artists bring their lived experience to their work with students, further enhancing the creative environment in which students can be inspired by successful artists who look like them, are working professionally, and are giving back to their communities. The organization has demonstrated the strength to grow and sustain itself over more than 70 years. Proposed capital improvements will support the continued usefulness of the existing structure and reduce costs by eliminating the need to rent storage spaces. Los Angeles Music and Art School (LAMusArt) seeks financial support for several renovations to their campus that include: Accessibility upgrades to classrooms and storage Repurposing of structures for more efficient usage of space Updating communal spaces Upgrading parking lots and parking structures May/June 2020: Completion of Phase 5 - Communal Staff Spaces: Roller shades, LED lighting July 6-10 2020: Installation of 16 LED light panels in lobby August 2020: Initiation of Phase 5 - Exterior Spaces: Removal and installation of new signage at front of building September 2020: Restripe and paint parking lot October 2020: Level and gravel adjoining dirt parking lot, Install LED parking lot lights Beneficiaries include the hundreds of students and their families, as well as the community at large. Many studies document the relationship between artistic and creative expression and school achievement. Music, visual arts, dance and drama contribute to the cultural vibrancy and community pride. Quality instruction may also lead to successful careers and improved socioeconomic outcomes for students. Funding the proposed capital grant would support renovation of communal environment that aligns almost fully with the goals of the VCF. Specifically it would: Strengthen and support a non-profit organization that benefits residents, Improve the built environment of communities in the VCF area, Encourage positive social development in Vernon and neighboring communities, and Assist an organization that expands opportunities for training and the development of residents for potential employment, and promotes the positive social development of children, youth, families and senior residents in Vernon and surrounding areas. April 3, 2020 Leticia Lopez Vernon CommUNITY Fund 4305 S. Santa Fe Ave. Vernon, CA 90058 Dear Ms. Leticia Lopez and the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Committee, East Los Angeles nonprofit organization, the Los Angeles Music and Art School (known as LAMusArt), is a first-time grant applicant to the Vernon CommUNITY Fund. LAMusArt seeks support as part of a large-scale renovation of the campus to create a safe, sustainable, and welcoming space for over 700 families and 38 employees who enjoy and make the school their home each week to expand their skills through Music, Art, Dance and Drama. We humbly request a $25,000 grant from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund which will be applied to the fifth phase of our campus renovation project over the course of 1 year. We have served the diverse communities of East Los Angeles for 75 years and on this campus for 52 years, necessitating spatial improvements that better reach our constituents to make LAMusArt the best place to learn and thrive. We hope to expand our reach and impact more families in Vernon with the capital support that will improve our efficacy. With this contribution, we can upgrade the exterior and communal spaces of the 11,000 sqft campus including but not limited to: exterior anti-graffiti paint, large-scale exterior signage, exterior lighting, parking lot paving, and lobby/communal space rehabilitation in spaces that have not been updated since our opening in 1963. LAMusArt has secured funding from the Ahmanson Foundation, Toyota Foundation, Bank of Hope and individual donors to carry this project out. Our project manager has collected bids from local contractors to ensure feasibility and establish a timeline for project management. A portion of this work is underway but is on pause due to the risks of exposure to COVID19. Please find our proposal enclosed. Thank you for considering the Los Angeles Music and Art School. We are dedicated to serving our community and delivering our promise to families all throughout LA’s Eastside to provide equitable access to arts education.

Summary of Org’s History, Programs, Services LAMusArt was founded in 1945 by Pearle Irene Odell in response to the growing need for affordable arts education in East Los Angeles. Odell identified a necessity for access to creative education, especially among youth within underserved East LA neighborhoods. The school began by offering pay-what-you-can music lessons out of two Victorian homes in Boyle Heights before expanding into other disciplines, and subsequently moving to its current location in the 1960s. Today, LAMusArt boasts a diverse slate of immersive programs in music, art, dance and drama with over 100,000 students served. Our facility has over 20 classrooms, a central courtyard, and a recording studio for student use. The organization consistently partners with local entities like the East Los Angeles College to provide performances for the community. Each year, LAMusArt provides more than 25,000 arts education lessons, serves over 600 students, awards nearly 200 year long-scholarships, and employs over 30 Teaching Artists year-round. LAMusArt’s goal is to bridge the gap between the community and the arts, which is why the education and performance opportunities we provide are affordable, equitable and offered 49 weeks per year. We also offer scholarships to households that need additional financial assistance for even greater accessibility. Who We Serve LAMusArt serves the greater East Los Angeles Area including but not limited to Unincorporated East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, Commerce, Vernon, Huntington Park, Montebello, and Monterey Park. Programming focuses on the K-12 population, although our tuition-subsidized, private music lessons and the Audio Recording and Music Engineering Program are both open to adult students (nearly ⅓ of East LA’s population is under 25 years old). Our student body, of which 70% come from low/moderate income households1 and 86% are Hispanic/Latinx, is reflective of the community we reside in and serve, which includes students from neighboring communities. The ethnic and financial makeup of East LA and its surrounding communities has presented its constituents with systemic obstacles that are not often faced in other well off communities. The median household income in East LA is 27% lower than the national average, at approximately 1 Statistic is based on US Census Bureau findings and in-house collection of students’ household income levels and/or free/reduced lunch eligibility in school. Los Angeles Music and Art School, p. 4 $42,000. Our local Hispanic/Latinx community members face distinct social challenges like language, lack of higher education and income disparity which make accessibility and arts engagement a hurdle. Organization Staff LAMusArt Staff is comprised of (2) Full-Time Administrators, (1) Part-Time Business Manager, (1) Part-Time Communications Associate, (1) Full-Time Office Manager, (1) Part-Time Programs Associate, (2) Administrative Assistants, and (33) Part-Time Teaching Artists PROJECT INFORMATION Project Need Statement LAMusArt has been a force in East Los Angeles for 75 years. When the building was constructed in 1968, hundreds of immigrant families and low-income residents attended the school to achieve better opportunities and experience quality education in music, art and dance. Since 1968 more than 100,000 students have frequented the facility and 700 students and their families come through our doors on a weekly basis to participate in non-school hours programming. The years of wear and tear as well as the changing needs of our growing community necessitated updates to update each space. We anticipate the upgrades and reconfiguration of space to benefit the staff threefold; a more convenient functionality of storage locations, a space for volunteers and staff to strategize together, and a space for staff that will increase satisfaction while promoting collaboration and healthy habits. As East Third Street continues to develop around us, we must improve our visibility and promote an inviting atmosphere that welcomes all. The enhancement of exterior spaces will improve our visibility, increase security, and offer our growing number of participants the ability to safely park and enter our school. Additional to constraints around COVID19 developments, there will be challenges including uncertain space limitations considering the age of the building and the exposure of rooms to the elements. The budget attached reflects a conscientious breakdown of expenses with this in consideration. Close consultation with vendors will also allow us to coordinate with needs, schedules and weather constraints. Renovation Project Goals and Outcomes Overall goal: Create a safe, inviting and productive environment for staff and families that will foster loyalty and retention to the program. Short-term: Improve the overall value and quality of LAMusArt facilities and enhance space for effective programming ● Objective: Upgrade storage rooms to make easily accessible to classrooms ● Objective: Repurpose rooms to reduce wasted space ● Objective: Install energy-efficient, green, quality materials Los Angeles Music and Art School, p. 5 Short-term: Boost attendance, respect, and recognition from our surrounding community, opening more doors to engagement from communities in southeast LA by improving visibility ● Objective: Upgrade exterior façade of building with dynamic, bilingual, legible materials ● Objective: Minimize parking constraints that are a barrier to engagement ● Objective: Update communal spaces that can be multipurpose for parents/guardians Long-term: Retain part-time faculty and staff to effectively retain students which the program serves with a welcoming space for volunteers and staff to convene ● Objective: Improve employee satisfaction by providing productive commune spaces that allow for healthy habits and communication CAPITAL PROJECT INFORMATION Title and description of project: LAMusArt Renovation Project: Phase 5 Proposed start date: November 15, 2019 - First portion of project underway Proposed end date: November 1, 2020 Project Budget: $75,000 Work details and documentation: In 2018, the school underwent a 4-phase upgrade with the support of foundation grants to upgrade classrooms. This took priority over staff resources and thus the present staff and volunteers have used decades-old rooms and materials to plan their classes and convene. With this final phase, we anticipate that the upgrade of storage facilities, convening areas plus a safe, accessible first floor and upgraded faculty room will improve the overall programming of LAMusArt and provide our volunteers and staff the space they need. With this upgrade, we will also promote a more energy-efficient campus and invest back into our students, volunteers and teaching artists. The fifth and final phase of this upgrade has been divided into two areas: Communal Staff Spaces and Exterior Spaces. The first area of this phase was made possible by support from the Ahmanson Foundation and individuals. Work began in November 2019 and is in its final stages. Capital improvements were designed with the goal of creating a safe, innovative and productive environment for staff and families that will foster loyalty and retention to the program. The second area of Phase 5 Renovation: Exterior Spaces focuses on the exterior facade of the school building, the campus parking lot and its adjoining undeveloped lot. The exterior facade of the building, visible from E 3rd Street, will have new signage and landscaping to increase the overall appeal and value of our neighborhood and attract community members who feel safe and welcome. The campus parking lot will be painted with anti-graffiti paint and its adjoining lot of 6500 sqft will be painted and leveled to function as a regular parking lot for students and their families. Timeline Due to statewide closures to flatten the curve of COVID19, the Los Angeles Music and Art School will be closed until at least May 11 and renovation is at a halt. The original timeline to continue work on the campus has shifted to continue in July 2020 with a completion fate of November 1, 2020. Los Angeles Music and Art School, p. 6 May/June Completion of Phase 5: Communal Staff Spaces: Roller shades, LED lighting July 6-10 Installation of 16 LED light panels in lobby August Initiation of Phase 5: Exterior Spaces: Removal and installation of new signage at front of building September Restripe and paint parking lot October Level and gravel adjoining dirt parking lot, Install LED parking lot lights Phase 5: Communal Staff Spaces - Scope of Work In this phase, we repurpose a former library and storage space into a Conference Room for special projects, board meetings and community gatherings. Currently there is no area on campus for such purposes, requiring the organization to rent off campus. The kitchenette will be renovated to function as a storage room in closer proximity to classrooms and safely house instruments worth over $15K. The current lounge area, our most efficient use of space, will become a space for 41 staff members to use as a break room and resource room throughout the day. Documentation 1.

Total Expense $ 31,600.00 Shelter Partnership, Inc. Health/Human Services 1985 $35,906 $24,775 $43,406 ~42% $1,769,500 ~15+ years Shelter Partnership is a California Non Profit Public Benefit Corporation established out of an assessment that determined the need for an organization to help develop housing and other resources for the growing numbers of homeless people then evident throughout LA County. The organization opened in 1985 and has since become a leader in the fight against homelessness through focused efforts including the S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank. The Foundation Shelter Resource Bank solicits, collects, sorts, and distributes large amounts of new, unused goods. The project operates from a secure and fully operational 108,000 sq ft warehouse in the City of Bell that it now owns. The Foundation Shelter Resource Bank is unique in Los Angeles and is one of the largest resource facilities in the nation. The Shelter Partnership is under the leadership of a 16 member Board of Directors with diverse credentials in law, banking, retail, marketing and other related expertise. In addition to the Shelter Partnership's strong Board of Directors, it features a strong community network, nurtured by its partnerships with community agencies through which it efficiently distributes goods free of charge. The organization leverages relationships with small businesses, start-ups, movie studios and Fortune 500 companies to obtain products. It estimates more than $210 million in goods went to 600 agencies serving the homeless and the very poor. Shelter Partnership serves as a broker to receive goods and store them in the warehouse before distribution. Products include household goods, furnishings, linens, clothing, baby and child care equipment, etc. Providing these goods free of charge enables the direct service agencies to focus their resources on direct care. In addition to the Shelter Resource Bank, the organization provides technical assistance to agencies (this assistance has helped secure $1billion in federal funding), conducts and disseminates research studies to inform public policy and promotes community education. The S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank (Shelter Partnership) requests financial support to purchase an electronic warehouse forklift. This equipment will be used and maintained by workers at their distribution center located in the City of Bell. The forklift will be used by staff for the management and distribution of donated goods to those non-profit community partners with which Shelter Partnership operates. The 5,000 pound load bearing equipment is a Hyster Model E50XN to be purchased from Pape Materials in City of Industry. The proposal includes cost comparisons and total estimated costs. Anticipated start date: June 2020 Anticipated completion date: July 2020 The primary beneficiaries of this capital grant would be homeless shelter providers and other agencies that serve very poor people, those in foster care and other congregate living facilities. The employees of those agencies and volunteers of the Shelter Resource Bank will benefit from a more effective storage of inventory and the delivery of goods for distribution. Ultimately, end users will benefit from the receipt of new goods available to support their needs. Funding this capital grant would provide necessary equipment to an organization that acts as a valuable resource to several service providers in the VCF area. As such, this capital grant specifically promotes the VCF goals of: supporting non-profit organizations that benefit residents and neighborhoods, inspiring positive social development in Vernon and neighboring communities and promoting the positive social development of children, youth, families and senior residents in Vernon and its surrounding areas.

We also wanted to let you know that we have one other capital equipment need -- a new Electric Riding Pallet Jack with a 6,000 lb. capacity to replace the electric pallet jack that we have had for over 20-years. This equipment is very helpful in making up the orders of goods for the agencies that we serve. As you might imagine, because of the pandemic, we are in emergency mode and are making up more orders than ever! The cost for the pallet jack, with extended warranty coverage, accessories, and tax, is $17,500. Any support that you can provide toward this would be greatly appreciated and would be leveraged with other funding. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Grand Avenue, Suite 695, Los Angeles, CA 90071 * Title of Project Title (or brief description) of project Purchase of a new 5000 lb. electric forklift CAPITAL PROJECT INFORMATION General description Please provide an overview the project On behalf of the Shelter Partnership Board of Directors, Associate Board of Young Professionals and staff, thank you so very much for the opportunity to be considered for a grant of $18,406 for the purchase of a new electric forklift for Shelter Partnership’s S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank at 5400 Rickenbacker Road, Bell, CA 90201. Launched in 1989, the S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank is a fully operational warehouse project that has a well-earned reputation in the Los Angeles County homeless services community for providing necessary items needed daily to hundreds of thousands of individuals who are homeless or struggling with poverty. In our project’s three-decade history, we have distributed over $250 million worth of goods to more than 700 unduplicated community service programs/agencies throughout L.A. County. During our 2019 calendar year we distributed over $13 million in new goods to 274 vetted programs/agencies. All items distributed by our S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank are new and unused, and there is no charge to the participating agency for receiving goods. Our project works like a food bank; however, goods are non-perishable. Donated items include: clothing for all members of the family; shoes and socks, toys and books; baby items, including diapers; hygiene products; furniture; household products; mattresses, comforters, blankets and sheets; furniture, such as dressers and tables; strollers and highchairs; and so much more. We recently received over one million pairs of socks and over three million bars of soap! With the uptick in items distributed from our S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank warehouse due to increased and expanded homeless programming funded by County Measure H over the past couple years, the current stable of warehouse machinery has been incredibly taxed. We desperately need a new forklift to accommodate this workload, better serve the homeless of Los 6 / 11 * Proposed start date 06/2020 * Proposed end date 07/2020 Angeles, and help us in expanding our mission to include more community agencies serving those experiencing homelessness and households living in poverty. Over the last year, we added more than 60 new community agencies to our distribution network. A new forklift would also greatly impact the workload upon our small, dedicated warehouse staff. It would also be a financially sound decision because an electric forklift would cost less in maintenance and repairs. Since the inception of this project we have used forklifts powered by propane. All of our forklifts have been in use for many years, but it has gotten to the point where repair bills are more costly than replacement costs. In addition, we must start to move toward replacing our current forklift fleet with electric forklifts because of directives from the South Coast Air Quality Board. We will do this one at a time because of the increased cost. We have already installed the charging station that is required to run the electric forklift. In the long run, we believe this will help us to cut our maintenance costs and be more efficient. The cost of the electric forklift is $39,046 plus 9.5% sales tax, which would be an additional $3,709 and $651 to install the charging station. The total needed is $43,406. We have already received $25,000 from the County of Los Angeles. We are requesting the balance of $18,406 from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund. Thank you for your consideration of our request.

SECF provides educational enrichment, tutoring, mentoring and scholarships to young people seeking higher education. The organization employs teachers and methods to assure that students testing at or below grade level receive intensive support to actually acquire the academic skills needed to succeed in more higher class levels and college. The organization recently received a $25,000 general operating grant from Vernon CommUNITY Fund in November 2019 and now seeks additional funding for capital improvements. SECF operates programs from a donated space in an underutilized paper factory in Vernon that is spacious and has been organized to promote individual and small group learning activities. It currently features waiting spaces for parents who bring their children to sessions and other space for small conferences and teacher/tutor preparation. The donated space requires improvements to the ventilation system as well as equipment to improve internet connection and on-line learning. SECF is actively engaged in partnerships with the YMCA and focuses on recruitment of students living in Vernon and Maywood. SECF demonstrates increased capacity to grow its programs and raise funds, and is positioned to achieve its goals of serving more students in the coming school year. SECF is especially committed to keep students from falling behind in their school work as a result of COVID-19 related school closures. The organization anticipates serving 350 students through its Enrichment Tutoring Academy at no cost to their families. The organization is governed by a ten member Board of Directors and employs a full time executive director as well as a Program coordinator and five certified teachers. Since receiving the general operating grant from VCF, SECF has secured funding from local foundations and corporate giving programs. Southeast Community Foundation requests support for a technology upgrade as well as renovations to the HVAC system at their facility, specifically the installation of HEPA air filter purifiers. Technology upgrades include: the purchase of ten Computer Desktops, sixty Chrome Book Laptops, two Laptop Charging Station Carts, five Desktop Wireless Inkjet Printers, and one Interactive LED Smart Board. Anticipated start date: June 22, 2020 Anticipated end date: August/early September 2020 The Enrichment Tutoring Academy directly benefits more than 350 young people in grades K-12 and indirectly benefits their families often including monolingual Spanish speaking parents and younger siblings. Their knowledge of the internet along with their study skills improve their educational outcomes and connects their families to important resources. Support for this capital grant proposal aligns specifically with the VCF goal of supporting and assisting organizations that expand opportunities for training and development of residents for potential employment in businesses located in Vernon and surrounding communities, as well as improving the built environment of Vernon and nearby communities. 4555 Everett Avenue l Vernon, CA l 90058 l (323) 230-0142 www.secfoundation.org l info@ecfoundation.org l 501(c)(3) #47-5277176 Communities served in Southeast Los Angeles include Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Compton, Downey, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier Each Student. Future Ready. Community Strong. February 10, 2020 Dear VCF Grant Committee: Please accept our letter of intent to ask if we might submit a formal proposal to apply for a capital grant from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund (VCF) in the amount of $25,000. The grant will allow us to purchase computer equipment, HEPA air filter purifiers, furnishings, and other major materials for our Vernon learning center and our new Maywood YMCA partnerships. Our program supports college readiness, college access and persistence, and academic enrichment tutoring provided free of charge to youth K-12 in the Greater Los Angeles area through our Enrichment Tutoring Academy (ETA). Since 2015, the Southeast Community Foundation (SCF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has worked tirelessly to strengthen the fabric of Southeast Los Angeles, helping the most chronic poverty areas, economically disadvantaged, and underserved populations. Our programs reflect the full continuum of learning from “cradle to career” to hundreds of at-risk youth in the most vulnerable K-12 schools in Los Angeles County to ensure public school students graduate ready for college and a career path. The Southeast region we serve is as an area with few nonprofits and most of those struggle financially due to an overall lack of financial investment from both the public and philanthropic sectors. The Southeast Community Foundation works to improve outcomes for kids by bringing together cross-sector partners around a shared community vision. For this reason, we have partnered with the local YMCA, the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA, to expand our ETA programming to reach more local youth K-12 in the region we both serve. We are grateful for the support received from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund for youth programming and think this new proposal may be of comparable interest. Since October 2019, we have enrolled over 100 families from the City of Vernon and the results from their sessions completed through ETA are phenomenal. Besides Vernon, the majority of our students come from Maywood, Huntington Park, and Commerce. We believe this project is very much aligned with VCF’s goals in seeking to create healthy and vibrant communities, and improve the lives of the people they serve. The Southeast Community Foundation works through community collaboration, alliances and partnerships to provide assistance programs and tools for children in Los Angeles communities. Our program helps raise their education levels, improve health and provide job skills training that will accelerate their integration into the workforce through one-to-one instruction tutoring in English Language Arts 4555 Everett Avenue l Vernon, CA l 90058 l (323) 230-0142 www.secfoundation.org l info@ecfoundation.org l 501(c)(3) #47-5277176 Communities served in Southeast Los Angeles include Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Compton, Downey, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier (reading and writing) and math for our students, at no cost to the families or schools. The project for which we are requesting funds will make a difference in the lives of hundreds of youth K-12 in the following way: upgraded computers and technology with the latest software for their learning, installation of HEPA air filter purifiers will create an environment with clean air to breathe, and new furnishings will compliment accessories for our teachers to be able to teach at the highest levels. The project will take 3-4 months to complete, and we expect to spend the funds within this timeframe. We will receive pledged contributions in the early stages. Support will come from SoCalGas, Smart & Final, Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, and the Water Replenishment District totaling $10,000. The project will continue to receive ongoing support from these entities throughout the coming year. With a capital grant from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund in the amount of $25,000, we can help more youth extend their level of education thus helping them integrate into the competitive college expectation. Since 2015, Southeast Community Foundation has provided 50 college scholarships to students that completed the college program and were accepted to four-year colleges and universities including USC, UCLA, various Cal State Universities, Cal Poly Pomona and MIT, to name a few. We know that the Vernon CommUNITY Fund prides itself on making grants available to those organizations that directly improve quality of life. We’d be honored to have the opportunity to continue to list VCF as a proud supporter of our organization. Thank you in advance for your consideration of our request. We look forward to hearing from you, and with great hope, a favorable outcome. Sincerely, Eddie D.

Future Ready. Community Strong. Proposal Snapshot Project: Enrichment Tutoring Academy Success Initiative Organization: Southeast Community Foundation Executive Summary The Southeast Community Foundation is seeking $25,000 in capital grant support to purchase computer equipment, HEPA air filter purifiers, furnishings, and other major materials to be able to continue to support our college readiness, college persistence, and tutoring services, provided free of charge to youth K-12, at our Vernon learning center and at the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA (Maywood YMCA) location through our Enrichment Tutoring Academy (ETA) Success Initiative. Our newly formed partnership with the Maywood YMCA expands and launches an integrated ETA program of after-school and summer academic enrichment tutoring services for their membership, as well as local youth and families. Capital Grant Request and Amount This is a capital grant request for funds to support computer equipment needs for our programming, HEPA air filter purifiers, furnishings, outfitting, and other major materials to continue to provide direct services of our programs to be held at our existing Vernon learning center and the new Maywood YMCA location. Grant amount requested: $25,000 Proposed Start/End Date The project will take 3-4 months to complete, and we expect to spend the funds within this timeframe. We anticipate starting this project on June 22, 2020, and completing it by end of August, early September 2020. Children/Youth Served With the existing Vernon learning center and new Maywood YMCA location, we anticipate serving 340 additional at-risk children ages 5-17 years old (K-12), and their families, during the summer and fall, providing students a real chance to achieve to their potential at grade level or excel. Organization Information The Southeast Community Foundation (SCF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 2015 by Julie Coyne in direct response to the number of at-risk youth in Southeast Los Angeles between the ages of 5-18 who were in dire need of educational supportive services. 4555 Everett Avenue l Vernon, CA l 90058 l (323) 230-0142 www.secfoundation.org l info@ecfoundation.org l 501(c)(3) #47-5277176 Communities served in Southeast Los Angeles include Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Compton, Downey, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier 2 Since 2015, SCF has worked tirelessly to strengthen the fabric of Southeast Los Angeles, helping the most chronic poverty areas, economically disadvantaged, and underserved populations. Our programs reflect the full continuum of learning from “cradle to career” to hundreds of at-risk youth in the most vulnerable K-12 schools in Los Angeles County to ensure public school students graduate ready for college and a career path. Our organization’s tagline: Each Student. Future Ready. Community Strong. -- helps realize our mission of reaching and serving all youth that need the help so they are better prepared for their education, their career and their community. The Southeast Los Angeles region we serve is as an area with few nonprofits and most of those struggle financially due to an overall lack of financial investment from both the public and philanthropic sectors. The Southeast Community Foundation works to improve outcomes for kids by bringing together cross-sector partners around a shared community vision. For this reason, we have partnered with the local YMCA, the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA, located in Maywood to expand our ETA programming to reach more local youth K-12 in the region we both serve. The Southeast Community Foundation works through community collaboration, alliances and partnerships to provide assistance programs and tools for children in Los Angeles communities. Our program helps raise their education levels, improve health and provide job skills training that will accelerate their integration into the workforce through one-to-one instruction tutoring in English Language Arts (reading and writing) and math for our students, at no cost to the families or schools. Our Foundation has become a leader in academic enrichment tutoring services. We implement our “best practice” curriculum-based programs, such as the Enrichment Tutoring Academy, to ensure the highest standard of educational instruction. Our model and programs have consistently shown success and in 2019-2020: • 98.3% of students’ quantitative post-test academic results showed an increase in achievement and growth • 46% average student growth in English Language Arts proficiency levels • 43% average student growth in mathematics proficiency levels Our Foundation’s successful model has been recognized by several local schools, principals and their teachers. For this reason, we have secured partnerships with several school districts, including LAUSD, Montebello Unified School District, Downey Unified School District, Lynwood Unified School District, El Rancho Unified School District, and ABC Unified School District. We are grateful for the support received from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund for youth programming and think this new proposal may be of comparable interest. Since October 2019, we have enrolled over 200 families from the City of Vernon and the results from their sessions completed through ETA are phenomenal. Besides Vernon, the majority of our students come from Maywood, Huntington Park, Commerce, and Los Angeles. We believe this project is very much aligned with VCF’s goals in seeking to create healthy and vibrant communities, and improve the lives of the people they serve. 4555 Everett Avenue l Vernon, CA l 90058 l (323) 230-0142 www.secfoundation.org l info@ecfoundation.org l 501(c)(3) #47-5277176 Communities served in Southeast Los Angeles include Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Compton, Downey, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier 3 Besides a grant from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund, the Southeast Community Foundation has successfully administered grants from the Rite Aid Foundation, Compass Cares Community Giving Fund, the Guenther Foundation, the Comerica Charitable Foundation, Smart & Final Charitable Foundation, the Water Replenishment District (WRD), and Southern California Gas Company for our academic enrichment programs aimed at youth K-12.

Summary The Southeast Community Foundation is seeking $25,000 in capital support. The project for which we are requesting funds targets at-risk and underserved youth populations throughout Vernon, Maywood, Huntington Park, Bell, Commerce, Los Angeles and East Los Angeles. The project will also close gaps in services, increase education proficiency levels, increase graduation rates, strengthen SCF’s educational/career pathways for youth, and serve as an innovative model that can be scaled and replicated throughout our Southeast Los Angeles region and beyond to meet the emergency crisis that students find themselves in this academic year. The Enrichment Tutoring Academy (ETA) Success Initiative represents an expansion of SCF’s academic enrichment programs and a new opportunity to serve an overlooked, vulnerable, and resilient population. B. Critical Unmet Need The Southeast Community Foundation currently has dozens of families on a growing waiting list to receive academic enrichment tutoring services. The need for reliable after-school tutoring services is a local and regional problem. Our partners at local schools, community colleges and 4-year institutions have told us stories of the hundreds of students they see each year who are struggling with their education. A recent study reported by the Los Angeles Times, shows 68% of the graduating classes of public schools in Los Angeles County could not pass 8th grade reading and 88% could not pass 8th grade math. At-risk students have extremely low graduation and retention rates. In California, approximately 50% of youth enroll in community college, but only about 2% complete an Associate’s Degree with homelessness and housing instability as major barriers to success. (Source: Hilton Foundation) Programs like ours provide supplemental support and private tutoring and mentoring to children in an engaging way to encourage them to assume personal ownership of their futures through education and bring their core skills in English and Math to a competitive level. C. Description of Project 1. Activities to be Undertaken: Individualized curriculum based on each child’s developmental needs is assessed and developed by state certified public education professionals and provided in a safe and stimulating environment for learning. Our main priority and philosophy is to communicate with parents, the child(ren), and the student’s school and educators to regularly assess their learning pace and work with their schools and parents in an effort to create a support system that will help them achieve their educational goals and reach their highest potential. Training and tutoring is held in their neighborhoods with their peers so it’s familiar and accessible to them. Every student succeeds, cradle to career, through shared purpose, alignment and accountability among community partners. 2. How will Grant Funds be Used? Targeting youth education K-12, the capital support funding will make a difference in the lives of hundreds of youth K-12 in the following way: upgraded computers, laptops, and technology with the latest software for their learning, upgraded wireless Internet hubs and devices to expand our network for faster and wider bandwidth within our learning centers, 4555 Everett Avenue l Vernon, CA l 90058 l (323) 230-0142 www.secfoundation.org l info@ecfoundation.org l 501(c)(3) #47-5277176 Communities served in Southeast Los Angeles include Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Compton, Downey, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier 5 installation of HEPA air filter purifiers will create an environment with clean air to breathe, and new furnishings will compliment accessories for our teachers to be able to teach at the highest levels. D. Goals and Objectives – What will be Achieved? We have three main goals for our project: 1) Provide 100% free education programs for all student youth K-12 with the latest state-of-the-art equipment; 2) 50% of participants who are enrolled during year one of this grant will successfully graduate, obtain certification, or transfer to a 4-year institution; and 3) Continue to track and monitor the progress of youth enrolled in our program, measuring persistence and graduation rates towards the 50% goal while continuing to support youth and submit written progress reports to the Vernon CommUNITY Fund to comply with the terms of the capital grant, if awarded. To determine our goals, we have looked at many pieces of information and data, including the completion rates (graduate, transfer, or obtain certification) of the general and English Language Learner (ELL) student population at our partner schools, colleges, and our current experiences with students. All will have new opportunities to flourish through our existing Vernon learning center and our expansion with the Maywood YMCA location that is connected to their educational goals, and the data we collect will increase understanding of this challenge and population. The difference this project will make will be measured in the impact on the students we serve and in our collective abilities to raise the profile of this population. We have the opportunity to prove our model once again with the Maywood YMCA location and its community. E. Evaluation To determine program results, we will utilize a tool called "Dashboards" to track our outcomes on a monthly basis. Dashboards allows us to collect, gather and compare information and data from each student, such as proficiency and improvements in their academics. Data collected and entered by a teacher is reviewed by an analyst and by the Executive Director in order to maintain high data quality. For the Enrichment Tutoring Academy (ETA) Success Initiative, the following data is most critical for determining the effectiveness of the program: 1) Youth enrolled in program; 2) Student successes and challenges, gauged by qualitative data; 3) Growth in proficiency levels (overall); and 4) Sessions completed (post-testing), gauged by quantitative performance data. F. Reporting Schedule The Board of Directors will receive monthly, written progress reports unless a need arises to inform the board prior to its regularly scheduled monthly meetings. The schedule for such progress reports is: June 10, 2020 July 8, 2020 August 12, 2020 September 9, 2020 4555 Everett Avenue l Vernon, CA l 90058 l (323) 230-0142 www.secfoundation.org l info@ecfoundation.org l 501(c)(3) #47-5277176 Communities served in Southeast Los Angeles include Cerritos, Commerce, Cudahy, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Compton, Downey, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier 6 Budget Summary Beginning: June 22, 2020 Ending: December 10, 2020 BUDGET CATEGORIES PROGRAM EXPENSE A.

The Bolton Foundation is very interested in this project and is currently considering a $20,000 grant to support this effort, and our $60,000 application to the Parsons Foundation will be decided in May. We have received pledged contributions in the early stages of the project.

We will continue to raise funding, but have the ability to fully operate this project in year one and continue to grow funding and partnerships over time. Sustainability To sustain the project, we will build broad-based community support and focus on the following: • Foundation Education-based Grants – the project’s integrated educational model makes us eligible to target new sources of private and public funding through expanded focus areas, including K-12 education, academic enrichment, early childhood education, youth development, education services, elementary and secondary education, higher education, college access and persistence, higher education, vocational training, and workforce development. • Leveraging Funds – developing corporate and private partnerships to match and draw down other available dollars and foundation funds. • Creating Revenue Streams – finding alternative sources of funding to cover costs.

COMMENTS _ TOTAL SCORE RECOMMENDED FOR VCF SCHOLARSHIP? Yes No IF YES, INDICATE RECOMMENDED AWARD AMOUNT: $ ________________ Vernon CommUNITY Fund Scholarship Program Applicant Package Welcome Thank you for your interest in the Vernon CommUNITY Fund (“VCF”) Scholarship Program! The Vernon CommUNITY Fund and Vernon City Council are dedicated to enriching the local community, and promoting higher education is aligned with our overall mission to contribute to the betterment of the Southeast Los Angeles County region. Vernon leaders are excited to offer the VCF Scholarship to students who are committed to investing in their education for a brighter future. The City Council of the City of Vernon created the Vernon CommUNITY Fund (“VCF”) to provide grants to charitable and governmental entities for projects and programs that benefit those residing and working in Vernon and its surrounding areas. Sections of the Vernon Municipal Code were adopted by the City Council to establish the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant Committee (“Grant Committee”) and provide the basic guidelines and operational procedures for said Committee and its officers, including those related to the allocation of funds and the processes for reviewing and ranking applications and awarding grants. Since its inception in 2014, the VCF Grant Committee has awarded nearly $4.0 million in grants to non-profit organizations in the Vernon Area. Over the years, the Grant Committee has sought to expand the work of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund in meaningful ways. The VCF Scholarship Program began as a concept, but quickly gained traction amongst Vernon leaders. The program was deemed to be a great opportunity for the VCF to establish a personal, viable connection with youth in the Vernon Area while supporting their pursuits of higher education and, in turn, elevating the region as a whole by ensuring that the career goals of students in our community are more attainable. On October 16, 2018, the Vernon City Council authorized the Grant Committee to proceed with the implementation of the VCF Scholarship Program. The implementation of this program is the result of much thought, planning, and care. It has been designed with a true philanthropic mindset. It is the hope of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund and Vernon City Council that the VCF Scholarship Program will be a vehicle that offers many motivated, exceptional young people a path to accomplish their academic and career goals. Again, thank you for your interest in the VCF Scholarship Program. The selection team looks forward to reviewing your application package and congratulates you on your many educational achievements thus far.

(Please insert your essay following this page) My name is Arely Ordonez-Chavez and my character and values are what make me a strong candidate for this scholarship. Although I am sure many students can say the same, I have proven that I am able to put in the necessary effort to pursue my education and make something of myself. Now, picture me in a room with twenty children trying to explain how to work a computer, while many students are tugging on me to go to the restroom or play outside. This was what my whole summer consisted of. I took advantage of the California Latino Leadership Institute Internship where the application process was pretty intense. It required me to write 7 essays and obtain two recommendation letters from my teachers, then also attend two interviews. I met amazing city managers and was able to understand the political dynamics of cities, public servants, and elected officials. In these workshops, I learned the importance of leadership and how to apply myself to my work in order to reach success in my future career. Throughout the internship, I went on many field trips such as the Central Water Basin District and So-Cal Gas Company Energy Resource Center. All these places had interesting speakers that provided me with possible career pathways and an insight into how they reach an efficient work environment and maintain productivity. In this internship I was also required to work at the Bell Tech Center. I assisted my boss, with her summer program, by helping children code on computers and transfer that into robots, and even create their own games online. The children in this summer program were still in elementary school, so it was difficult to try and explain some concepts and get them to stay on task. However, working with children allowed me to gain greater patience for helping students and I even learned how to do simple coding. Overall, I gained a few skills that allow me to better measure my time with work. I even had to read a couple of books within a week to prepare for a presentation from the author. I also learned more about computers that make doing homework, presentations, and essays easier for me. Within this internship, I learned the importance of networking and working as a team. Knowing this will influence me to work in groups, to make sure I understand a subject, and to build respectful relationships with others. I would also like to add that I can honestly say I come from hard work and restless days. Although I know I’m not the only student that has to balance a job while going to school, I feel this has strengthened my character. I work every weekend to help my parents. They sell at flea markets and own an outlet store where they need me and my siblings to go to one place and help them. I work at the outlet store by myself as a cashier which requires me to help customers, keep the store clean, and help my father unload trucks. I work from ten to seven, so I try to use my time wisely and work on homework throughout the day. I also work within the week at my parent’s outlet store as soon as my after school practice finishes. Working every day results in a lack of sleep, migraines, and most of all falling behind in school. Although balancing work and school can be challenging, it helped teach me to stay persistent and build a greater work ethic. To prevent falling behind in my schoolwork as much as possible, I was able to ask teachers for extensions, stay after school to make up homework, go to tutoring, and also work on any assignment whenever I had free time. I learned to work as hard as I can to leave a good impression on people, such as my parents and teachers despite my circumstances. Not only this, but I was also able to become independent and learn to rely on myself to ensure that I take advantage of my own education. I earned some money while working that went towards paying my ap exams, my senior activities, and even sports equipment. Learning to work for myself and making my own money has prepared me for college because I know I will have to get a job in order to afford my classes, books, transportation, and living expenses. Finally, my life has taken many turns and gone through ups and downs like any other person. I believe the way I have chosen to handle each given situation, is a reflection of the person I am, and I am willing to become. A situation that I have had to learn to overcome and strive to be better is, living with my parents. Their daily fights and the emotional abuse they have put themselves and also me through, play a big part in my academics. All of high school has consisted of me coming home from school and having to listen to my parents argue, whether it’s for financial, work-related, or relationship issues. At times, these arguments can even get physical to the point where someone has to call the police. It can be hard to focus in my own house with the constant yelling that results in sleepless nights and crushing anxiety. Sometimes, both would even lead to me missing school in order to complete an assignment that I couldn’t complete the night before. As I continue to deal with this, it inevitably affects my sleep, mental health, and schoolwork. I am able to keep my grades up by staying after school to do work, ask teachers for assistance, and also talk to my counselors. Over the past years I’ve learned that even if my parents aren’t happy, that does not mean I have to be unhappy too. Having such a problematic home life, in a way, motivates me to do better in school. I believe that if that part of my life isn’t good then I can compensate with everything else. I know that if I can do well in school then I can make a career for myself that will ultimately benefit me in numerous ways. I know for certain that I don’t want to be stuck in the same situation as my parents, and pursuing my education is a sort of salvation. I want to prove to myself and others that my past or my problems don’t define who I am and who I can be.

Balderas Principal March 26, 2020 To Whom It May Concern: I have had the pleasure of knowing Arely Ordonez for the past three and a half years. Arely was a student in my Speech class and Advanced Placement English Language and Composition class. She is currently taking my Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition course. Arely is a strong student who challenges herself by taking Honors and Advanced Placement classes. Her reading, writing, and critical thinking skills are among the top of her peers. She is quick to grasp new concepts and anxious to apply what she has learned. Arely enters the classroom everyday with a smile on her face and an optimistic attitude. One of the things I love about Arely is her leadership. She thrives in small group activities and is frequently the default leader on group assignments. Arely has a way about her that is inviting to her peers; she makes sure that everyone’s voice is heard, as well as keeping the group on task, and ensuring the work is completed on time. She also uses her leadership skills outside of the classroom. She is a member of our school’s Take Action Committee where she helps plan out different events for our school’s campus and volunteers with activities in the local community. In addition, this past summer Arely interned at the California Latino Leadership Institute where she taught younger children how to code on computers and program robots. Through the internship she got the opportunity to interact with several elected officials. This experience gave her ideas of how she can continually give back to her community. Arely’s home life has been at times challenging. She has had to block out constant parent arguments and figure out how to rise above what happens at home. The frustration she feels motivates her to gain a higher education so that she can have a better life for herself. To that end, she works incredibly hard at whatever task is set before her and does it all with a smile on her face, believing that a positive attitude can help her succeed. Arely has already proven that she is college ready by earning passing scores on three of her AP exams. She will bring her strong work ethic, her optimistic attitude and her desire to improve her community with her to college. She only needs the resources to help her achieve her goals. Without reservation, I highly recommend Arely Ordonez for the Vernon Community Fund Scholarship Program. If I can be of further assistance, please give me a call at (626) 975-4433.

COMMENTS TOTAL SCORE RECOMMENDED FOR VCF SCHOLARSHIP? Yes No IF YES, INDICATE RECOMMENDED AWARD AMOUNT: $ ________________ Vernon CommUNITY Fund Scholarship Program Applicant Package Welcome Thank you for your interest in the Vernon CommUNITY Fund (“VCF”) Scholarship Program! The Vernon CommUNITY Fund and Vernon City Council are dedicated to enriching the local community, and promoting higher education is aligned with our overall mission to contribute to the betterment of the Southeast Los Angeles County region. Vernon leaders are excited to offer the VCF Scholarship to students who are committed to investing in their education for a brighter future. The City Council of the City of Vernon created the Vernon CommUNITY Fund (“VCF”) to provide grants to charitable and governmental entities for projects and programs that benefit those residing and working in Vernon and its surrounding areas. Sections of the Vernon Municipal Code were adopted by the City Council to establish the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Grant Committee (“Grant Committee”) and provide the basic guidelines and operational procedures for said Committee and its officers, including those related to the allocation of funds and the processes for reviewing and ranking applications and awarding grants. Since its inception in 2014, the VCF Grant Committee has awarded nearly $4.0 million in grants to non-profit organizations in the Vernon Area. Over the years, the Grant Committee has sought to expand the work of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund in meaningful ways. The VCF Scholarship Program began as a concept, but quickly gained traction amongst Vernon leaders. The program was deemed to be a great opportunity for the VCF to establish a personal, viable connection with youth in the Vernon Area while supporting their pursuits of higher education and, in turn, elevating the region as a whole by ensuring that the career goals of students in our community are more attainable. On October 16, 2018, the Vernon City Council authorized the Grant Committee to proceed with the implementation of the VCF Scholarship Program. The implementation of this program is the result of much thought, planning, and care. It has been designed with a true philanthropic mindset. It is the hope of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund and Vernon City Council that the VCF Scholarship Program will be a vehicle that offers many motivated, exceptional young people a path to accomplish their academic and career goals. Again, thank you for your interest in the VCF Scholarship Program. The selection team looks forward to reviewing your application package and congratulates you on your many educational achievements thus far.

You will receive feedback on your VCF scholarship application in the form of an email. Please feel free to contact 323.351.1198 with any questions. Thank you. Born and raised in South Central, I grew up in a neighborhood that was not the best as it was prone to gangs, drug trafficking, and an increase in small crimes. This led to my parents always inculcating the importance of attaining a college degree in the hope that one day I would not struggle as much as they did when they first came to this country. Because this hostile environment did not prioritize education, not all of the youth in my community was motivated to pursue a college education. Instead, several of them were misled to believe that dropping out of high school to work full-time was the best way to secure a future, while others were pressured to abandon their academic aspirations to join local gangs. To avoid a similar fate, my mom decided to enroll me at a middle school in the city of Bell because she distrusted the environment at our local school. However, this small increase in the quality of education that I would receive would come at a cost. I would have to wake up earlier than most kids my age to arrive at the bus station on time and be unable to participate in extracurricular activities. By utilizing school as my sanctuary and drawing inspiration from my hard-working parents, I was able to achieve academic excellence. Despite my parents’ efforts to shield me from the face of danger, I became a victim of gang violence during my freshman year when a group of delinquents scurried me into an alleyway to rob me of my personal belongings. After this frightful occurrence, I finally understood that the unvarnished truth was although there are numerous students with potential in underserved communities, a great percentage of them will be unable to develop their passions for education due to a lack of support. This realization has motivated me to work diligently towards a college education because I refuse to fulfill the stereotypes that falsely define the young adolescents of South Los Angeles. Attaining a college degree would help me convince others that your place of origin should not discourage you from dreaming high but should, on the contrary, enhance your drive for improving both your future and your community. Additionally, growing up in an under-served community has not been necessarily lamentable as it has taught me to maximize the benefits of every window of opportunity and value what others might perceive as impractical. Attending college would also be pivotal in my family history since I am a first-generation college student. Causing this shift in my family values is important to me because I believe life is all about continuous, intergenerational improvement. Furthermore, the reward of graduating and pursuing a career of my choice would be immeasurable. Not only would I bring hope to my parents by providing my family with financial stability, but I would also be able to serve as a role model to my younger sister and encourage her to dream a little bigger. My parents’ selflessness and my experience growing up in under-served neighborhoods have encouraged me to become an active member of my community. As a resident of the Southeast region, I am aware of the lack of resources in our communities as well as the social and environmental conflicts that have developed as a result. As an informed citizen, I believe everyone should be aware of the injustices they are unknowingly combatting and help propagate the importance of searching for permanent solutions. During high school, I have taken a particular interest in combating the issue of food injustice at a local level by serving as a volunteer at the Los Angeles Food Bank, where I have served as a food sorter and packager. This past summer, I also had the honor to form part of a local fellowship, where I had the opportunity to meet other students from all over the Southeast cities and engage in civic engagement training. Together, we completed city beautification projects and volunteered at UCLA UniCamp. It was during this week away in the San Bernandino Mountains that I realized the importance of offering support to our youth and learned to appreciate the work of all of our educators fighting to increase the representation of racial and ethnic minorities in prestigious institutions. For this reason, the achievement I am most proud of is helping develop the MESA program at my school. As the Club President, these past three years have been a rewarding experience as I have been able to expose the underclassmen to several engineering disciplines and hopefully narrowed the educational gap in my community by developing STEM-related interests amongst the minds of tomorrow. These experiences have taught me that we, the residents of our cities, are responsible for creating a more suitable environment for our children since only we know where our communities are in need of most help. My plan for the future is to attend college and invest in my education to become a civil engineer. My passion for civil engineering has grown exponentially because of my involvement in MESA. Last year, I discovered my dual interest for civil engineering and architecture after being fortunate enough to attend a three-day, career exploration field trip to USC’s Wrigley Marine Center on Catalina Island, where my passion for both these subjects was confirmed through a culminating project that required me and my group to present a proposal for a new building. Concurrently, after informing myself about the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, I hope I can utilize my passion for engineering to initiate pro-bono engineering practices and help expand the subsidized housing currently available to the homeless population. By minoring in public policy, I also hope to propose new prioritizations in our cities that introduce permanent solutions for the growing population of homeless people that our local governments overlook and continue to exercise community leadership, a profound labor of love.

Yes No IF YES, INDICATE RECOMMENDED AWARD AMOUNT: $ ________________ March 26, 2020 To VCF Scholarship Committee: It is my great pleasure and honor to recommend Sara Lopez for one of the seventy-two AEOE Scholarships awarded to qualified LAUSD high school seniors. I am the youth pastor at Mission Ebenezer Church (Iglesia Misión Ebenezer) servicing the community of East Los Angeles and a former LAUSD employee. I have known Sara Lopez since she was seven years old. Both my secular and ministry work have allowed me to meet and assist thousands of students from all ages and Sara is one of those “one in a million” kids that leave a beautiful imprint wherever she goes. This young woman exemplifies empathy, kindness, selflessness, compassion, sincerity, hard worker, goal-oriented, and above all a NEVER give up attitude. Sara is the person that will approach the “loner” and spark a conversation. She’s my go-to girl when new kids arrive and doesn’t hesitate to lend a hand when needed. Whether it’s helping our elderly walk to their seat, or making Tortillas for a fundraising, even though she has never done it before. Sara will always try her best. These characteristics and her faith in God are what will help her reach her post-secondary goals. There is no one more deserving, qualified or in need than Sara Lopez. If VCF invests in Sara, your return will not only include a post-secondary degree, but it will include a positive impact to her family, church, community and society. Please feel free to contact me at (323)573-7492 or via email at jasminmedel@aol.com should you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for all that you do.

She is a well-disciplined, industrious student that can carry the workload of school and extra-curricular activities. Sara is an extraordinary student who combines exceptional natural ability with a willingness to fight any barriers in the way. There is no doubt in my mind that Sara will do well and succeed in completing higher level education. 4. What unique qualities does the applicant process that distinguish her among her peers?

For example, in class, Sara often times led small groups in discussions around social injustices. Her knowledge on current news and understanding of inequalities that exist across the nation, made Sara contribute to dialogue around the changes that must be made. 5.

As a person, however, I’m compassionate, generous, optimistic, and selfless. My mom is my hero. She has had to work as a janitor in order to provide for my family. Last year, she had to stop working because of ligament tears on her wrist and ankle. At infancy, she suffered from brain trauma tumbling down a second flight of stairs, triggering the hardships of living with epilepsy. Unable to graduate high school due to frequent seizures, she constantly looked for ways to learn and make a better life for herself. A year before I was born, she underwent surgery and was liberated from this neurological disorder. She took advantage of any job opportunities made available to her, though she is permanently and legally considered disabled. I want to replicate my mom’s incredible strength in my life. I know that as an adult, I will be able to provide for myself, just like my mom. Nonetheless, I am going to have to work much harder than my competitors. I joined Garfield’s girls volleyball before I culminated middle school. Being on the team allowed me to recognize that there’s always going to be someone more experienced or talented than me. I’ve learned that as a player, I tend to become extremely competitive. I use this part of me as fuel to motivate me, to not only do better but be better. In addition to being on an all girls team, I’ve learned that blame never solves anything. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I take a moment to compose myself and prioritize my tasks. At times, it's been asked of me to help organize team events. It’s been challenging, but I’ve learned how to approach not only my teammates but my peers as well, respectability, to address any and all responsibilities each of us hold to contribute to our group efforts. As a result, I’ve learned to love the competition. No matter how rigorous the race becomes, getting an education is the one thing that no one can take away from me. Though most of my academic abilities are reflected on my transcripts, my will and determination can never be projected on a single sheet of paper. In my educational endeavours, my greatest challenge has been psychological warfare. I’ve struggled my entire high school career with comparing myself to others, worrying that my peers have greater intellect, stronger emotional and financial stability. My issues with comparison became more severe my sophomore year when I signed up for AP World History. I was distracted by my perception that classmates could grasp the material more quickly than I could, which distracted me from the course itself. Not only did I fail the first set of quizzes, but I received my first D on my progress report. I was too embarrassed to admit I was struggling, but eventually, I learned to swallow my pride, seeing the detrimental effects my interpretation of reality had on my self esteem. With a change in mindset and hard work, I earned the highest grade I could, and learned to focus on myself rather than others. Even now, I am still learning to accept myself for who I am and to always reassure myself that I am performing to the best of my abilities. I congratulate myself on my accomplishments because I know that if I don’t, there’s always a possibility that no one else will. My attitude is a work in progress but I no longer measure my success by how I compare to others. The most important lesson that my high school has taught me has been learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. In the things that trouble me the most, I need to lean on this “dysfunctional comfort” because this is where growth is found. The brain is a muscle that never stops growing and just like a rubberband, it won’t expand unless it’s challenged and stretched. On a daily basis, I’ve realized, it’s gotten a lot easier for me to differentiate what is most beneficial and what is pleasurable. Finding a balance between the two has become one of my strengths that I hope remains in my adult life. I have worked hard my entire academic career, dating back to elementary school, to ensure my eligibility to attend a four year institution and to earn any scholarship willing to bet their chances on me. Being a member of the East Los Angeles community, there are a number of us here struggling financially. Paying for college, especially for first generation students like myself is a stressor in my pursuit for a higher education. I tend to perform to the best of my abilities when my focus is intact. The VCF scholarship will certainly alleviate some of my financial stress over paying tuition and would allow me to focus on school instead of worrying about debt. To pay for college, I plan to rely on need-based financial aid and any available scholarships. My goal is to attend Pepperdine University. I know that for someone with my financial background, my goals are a bit of a stretch, but I long to live in student housing and to study abroad at least once. From there, I plan on graduating, debt free, with a bachelors in film studies. I intend to take advantage of Pepperdine’s Career Center, which provides students with internship and job opportunities, even after graduating, so that I can create and establish networking opportunities for myself in the entertainment industry. In the long run, I’d like to work as a film editor for a production studio like Summit or Warner Brothers. From an early age, my parents taught me the importance of serving others. I grew up in church and for most of my life, I have spent my time volunteering. Currently, I am a Sunday school teacher to a class of preteens, which is something I am passionate about, and I am also a sponsor to our 3rd-5th grade girls in the Girls’ Ministry. My plan is to attend a Christian university to deepen my understanding of theology and philosophy so I can be prepared to share my knowledge with my peers. I hope that as I enter the workforce, I will be able to tithe as well. But above all else, I want my life to be used as a vessel of blessing in someone else’s.

Vernon leaders are excited to offer the VCF Scholarship to students who are committed to investing in their education for a brighter future. The City Council of the City of Vernon created the Vernon CommUNITY Fund ("VCF") to provide grants to charitable and governmental entities for projects and programs that benefit those residing and working in Vernon and its surrounding areas. Sections of the Vernon Municipal Code were adopted by the City Council to establish the Vernon CommUNITY fund Grant Committee ("Grant Committee") and provide the basic guidelines and operational procedures for said Committee and its officers, including those related to the allocation of funds and the processes for reviewing and ranking applications and awarding grants. Since its inception in 2014, the VCF Grant Committee has awarded nearly $4.0 million in grants to non-profit organizations in the Vernon Area. Over the years, the Grant Committee has sought to expand the work of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund in meaningful ways. The VCF Scholarship Program began as a concept, but quickly gained traction amongst Vernon leaders. The program was deemed to be a great opportunity for the VCF to establish a personal, viable connection with youth in the Vernon Area while supporting their pursuits of higher education and, in turn, elevating the region as a whole by ensuring that the career goals of students in our community are more attainable. On October 16, 2018, the Vernon City Council authorized the Grant Committee to proceed with the implementation of the VCF Scholarship Program. The implementation of this program is the result of much thought, planning, and care. It has been designed with a true philanthropic mindset. It is the hope of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund and Vernon City Council that the VCF Scholarship Program will be a vehic{e that offers many motivated, exceptional young people a path to accomplish their academic and career goals. Again, thank you for your interest in the VCF Scholarship Program.

Citlaly Gonzalez My father left my family during Thanksgiving 2011. At the time I was only 8 years old and did not completely understand what was going on, all I knew was something inside me had ripped open. From this point onward my life was a new one. Everything having to do with my Life since this was just about my growth. I was a daddy's girl and coping with him not being apart of my life anymore was extremely difficult. Seeing the sacrifices my mom bad to go through once my dad left made me realize so much. She had been a stay at home mom for 10 years and had to begin working in December 2011 in order to provide for my younger brother and me. Since she is undocumented, there are not many opportunities for her to find agood-paying job. All that was available to her was a minimum wage job through an agency and during a time of need, she accepted it. The j ob was very heavy on my mom but it was also one hour away. Working off a minimum wage job affected us deeply because we were living paycheck to paycheck focusing on paying the rent and utility bills, but with my mom's strength and willpower, she assured us we would get through it. My mom's hard work and determination continues to be my motivation to pursue higher education. She taught me that our education was the only thing she can leave us behind because she does not have a will. I took her advice and made the best of our situation because after 8 years she still continues to work a minimum wage job. My academic ability was always above average hence being gifted since elementary. I culminated from Walnut Park Middle School School of Social Justice with a 4.0 GPA. Being in AVID in 8th grade I decided to continue my involvement with the program. AVID is an elective whose mission is to close the achievement gap by emphasizing college readiness. I am proud to say I have taken advantage of all the opportunities given to me throughout high school by taking rigorous courses, such as AP and honors classes. Everything I would do, I would always take my mom into consideration. It has always been expected of me to pursue higher education and I do not see myself in a place where I would choose the work field over a degree. I am blessed and grateful to be given the opportunity to pursue higher education since a lot of people have no other option. My goal is to major in chemistry at the University of California, Irvine and become a cosmetic plastic surgeon. After earning my bachelor's degree, I plan on attending medical school and then a residency. Receiving a scholarship from the Vernon CommUNITY Fund would relieve my mom of monetary issues and would help out with books and supplies since college tends to be expensive. Thanks to AVID, my time management skills improved immensely which allowed me to join extracurricular activities. Varsity cheer (2017-2020) allowed me to witness and experience teamwork and leadership, and because of my leadership skills, I got captain my senior year. I also started the FIDM Fashion Club (2018-2020) and helped start the Korean Club (2018-2020) at my school. Summer 2019 I was accepted into the CLYLP Los Angeles Institute which opened my eyes and helped me become politically engaged. October 2019 I joined the Yvote project and have been deeply involved ever since. Not only has this internship allowed me to view how politics work, but it's taught me all about campaigning and community outreach.

Weekends, my parents work as food can vendors. selling various Mexican delicacies like "raspados" (shaved ice) and "elotes" (com o n the cob covered with mayonnaise and shmlded cheese). They walk from street to ,trcet pushing heavy carts filled with com. gallons of syrup. and coolers of ice. Although their work is long and exhausting. it supports me and my fi ve siblings. In order to work. however. my parents require: the helping hands of my brothers. sisters. and me. Sunday mornings follow a strict routine. By 6AM my dad unloads work supplies from his truck. Outside in our yard. my mom peels the husks o ff dozens of com cobs. while inside. my sister sorts INlgs of Chcetos and I pour spices 1111d colorful snow cone syrup into con1uinc:rs. I of\en question why rm up so early on a duy meant for resting. but I know the answer to that. Seeing my parents struggle to sustain our housebold brings my attention to their lack of schooling. Growing up in Mexico. they were pulled out of school in order to provide financi.i.l support for their families. They never had the opportunity to complete a high school education. and their lack of schooling greatly limited their options in the workforce. In addition to preparing my parcnL~· work materials and working with them. I take care of my siblings during the week while my mom and dad are away. I cook dinner and entertain my siblings. I also help my eight year-old-sister and brother with their homework. and make sure they understand what they'n: learning. Through babysilling. I've discovered my passion for academic growth. This is why I now volunteer and tutor English learners at my local elementary school. I'm aware that many students don ·1 have access 10 tutors due 10 financial complications. Voluntccring as a tutor has opened my eyes to the com:lation between socioeconomic status and academic success among students. and bas influenced me to combat this inequily. h 's my goal to one day hold a position as a politician that allows me to empower young students lo achieve their dreams. regardless of their social. ethnic, or economic backgrounds. I'm working as hard as I possibly c-.in to accomplish my dream. I plan on gJ'llduating high school and the:n allmding a four-year university. feats that weren't accomplished by my own parents. My plan is 10 study political science :so that I can promote wide scale change in my community in the future. Because ofmy parents' low-paying jobs, rvc taken up several summer paid internships. These jobs help support me financially since my parents can ·1 afford 10 provide me with money during the school year. Although I've been successful in supporting myself financially throughout my high school years. I wony about paying for my textbooks and necessary college supplies. which will be more pricey than the supplies to which I'm accustomed. Applying for this scholarship is crucial for my financial stability in college. h will allow me to thrive in college. without having to wony about student debt. All in all, I have come to learn that I value hard work above everything. My parents' determination lo s upport our family has served as my inspiration for years. Seeing my parents• hard lives and limitations has made me determined for more. I've witnessed firsthand the labor my parents go through to simply provide for our family. Their constant endeavor, like many other things in my hometown of East LA, is a shared. communal struggle. I see the value of college and I know it can take me forward in life by giving me choices.

I was fortunate to have Mariela ln my chemistry class last year. In the 20 years that I have been teaching she is in the top 2% not only because of her intelligence but also because of her strong work ethic, resi:tience, and a great sense of citizenship. Mariela is a student thut defini1ely leads by example. Among the many obs1acles !hat she faces include having to deal with the financial hardships thal a poor immigro1nt family struggles with on a daily basis. Conse.quently. Mariela has to care for her siblings during school nights and weekends while her parents work. Being raised in a communily where educalion is predominan'lly not a priority because of the economic struggles that most families face hove added to the challenges around her. Fortunately. with the support of her parents and Mariela's innate drive to succeed has helped her see the importance of lighting for her education not only for a beuer li re for herself but also for her family and community. Mariela is truly dedicated to her education. family. and communily. In my classroom. she was able 10 understand all concepts including the very complicat.ed conceptual ones. If she experienced difficulty in comprehension she always asked questions for clarification and without hesitation would help her classmates if needed. Mariela does not shy away from challenges; on the contrary she seeks them out with the intention of better preparing hersel[ For example. she has made it a point to !be programed into multiple honors and advance placement courses to expose herself to an academic rigor that wiU provide the tools for college succc,s. Therefore. it is not surprising lhat she has been able to earn. a 4.3 GPA thus far and that she has scored 4s and Ss in her advanced placement tests. Additionally. Mariela has dedicated substantial time to extracurricular activities that focus on her continual growth as a productive member of her community. Her extracurricular activities include being part of the school's very successful track and field team and clubs and advisory boards that focus on empowering females and creating a healthy school environment. As a symbol of the respect that she has cumcd from Garfield Girls Build Club these past 3 years she was nominated president. a role that she very diligently and respec1ful fulfills. Mariela has also dedicated hours to the comm unity by tutoring at a local elementary school for four years now and by being part of the Youth and Government and Constitutional Rights Foundation. both groups that serve the community by helping empower youth by making them active and responsible panicipants in society. These activities are a testament to her de,dication 10 improving her community inside and ,out of the school. Mariela 's value for educ.at ion, citizenship. and hard work has conveyed 10 her peers. teachers. family. and most importantly to herself that she is a valuable member of her community and that her light for her education will nol only empower herself but also her family and community. Like all that come to know Mariela, she has my admiration and respect and so I strongly recommend her with no reservations.

Please insert your essay following this page) My family of five lives in Apartment K, our single room home, cramped up, but blessed to have a roof over our heads. Our building is in front of a parking lot where homeless people sleep, create havoc, and spread fear to citizens walking past. Many people wonder if living in a violent neighborhood will create violent people. That isn't true, I've proven that statement to be wrong. Every class I have taken has changed my perspective of my environment, of my society in ways beyond merely numbers, equations, or formulas to remember. In Physics, I could see how momentum applied to a door pushes it open, and how it is possible to do simple lifting without using too much force by using my own weight as a lever, moving it like a seesaw. In AP Environmental Science, I learned how human refuse -- plastic wrappers, broken toasters, diapers, takeout containers -- is sent to a landfill, but is not decomposed. The methane it releases is a major contributor to global warming. The books I read at Huntington Paxk Library connected me to characters that impacted my life. Molly Ayer and Vivian Daly, from "Orphan Train," by Christina Baker Kline, struggled to survive during The Great Depression when they moved from the midwest to Maine without their parents. I suffered along with Anne Frank who hid with her family from Nazis for two years in Amsterdam -- until she was taken to a death camp -- in "The Diary of Anne Frank." "Anthem," by Ayn Rand, showed me a dystopian society through the eyes of Equality 7-2521, who went against society to think for himself. Every book I have read through my library has shaped my world as of today. I yearn to achieve my dream of becoming the first in my family to receive a college education, something that my parents were not able to do. In El Salvador, my father was able to attend high school, but before he could graduate, risked his life to come to the United States. My 2 mother barely reached ninth grade in Mexico, dropping out to work at a plantation to help her mother maintain a family of seven with no father. My will and desire make me understand that I can change that legacy of dropping school at a young age. At school I've learned that I enjoy doing hands-on projects. I think I would like to become an engineer or an architect. I want to unravel the work of designing a structure, from choosing the type of material, to creating a strong and sturdy object. My STEM Magnet program has inspired me to become an Architectival Engineer who creates those inventions. It has led me to follow a path that I am passionate about, and that I want to continue to explore. To connect with other people, to contribute to my community, to build new buildings and homes for those in need. Comprehending and observing my environment as a place that keeps expanding with numbers and fractions, formulas and graphs, buildings and models. Every subject has played a role in sparking my curiosity. My motivation to help others started when I volunteered at my middle school, assisting teachers translating from Spanish to English. Digesting what patience really means and how working together is key to achieving a goal. My ambition wouldn't have occurred without the tiny roots that formed from one thing: my living situation. Opening the door to Apartment K, the queen bed that both my sister and mother sleep in and the bunk beds that my brother and i share are visible at first sight. My dad's mattress is tucked underneath the bunk beds. The humid air and the strong smell of food -- tortillas being heated on the corral (pan) and oil frying on the stove -- suffocate the room. No air conditioning. In the winter it's cold, in the summer it's hot and sticky, boiling inside. The windows don't work right and have to be propped up with a wooden stick. 3 T do my homework in the kitchen, closing the door that separates it from our sleeping area. But then again it's no use being in the kitchen if I can still hear voices and sounds of the television in the "living room?" What's the point of hoping to have peace and quiet to do my homework if I am still in the same room as my siblings who aze talking, laughing and fighting just a couple of feet away from me, even though there's still a door in between us. Starting at 8 p.m., after the lights are turned off, is my usual study time. It explains why T sometimes feel tired, with bags on my face because of the sleepless nights. Most of the time, I feel like I'm being watched 2417 and I'm expected to act like awell-behaved child. I have a zero percent chance of having any privacy. After I am done with my homework, I walk in the dark as quiefly as possible along my father's bed, in between the table and the mattress, to get to mine. I don't turn on the lights, afraid to wake up the others. But there's always the danger of bumping into the ladder of the bunk bed. It's a struggle. I've been living like this for almost fourteen years now, and surprisingly I don't find it strange. All I find is that it is tiresome, and maybe surprisingly warm and nurturing. My apartment has grown on me and has led me to cherish my belongings and reflect on my life. How wonderful life is, growing my character and my strengths. I do wonder what it will be like to have a room to myself, how things can change, and have an actual desk to do my homework or play music whenever I want to. But I wouldn't change things if I could. Our circumstances have shown me a different view in cherishing what I have and to strive for something bigger. It has now become my strength. I wouldn't trade Apartment K. Throughout my journey, my experiences have taught me appreciation. And perseverance in becoming the first in my family to get a diploma and embark on a career path I admire. `~~`~~~~~ ~ Funa ~.. ~ .~::::: ~` ,~s Business~~. ~ lea ~e~ Vernon CommUNITY Fund Scholarship Program Applicant Package Vill.

Balderas Principal STEM It is with great pleasure that I write the following recommendation letter for Samantha Sandoval. I have had the joy of having Samantha in my Honors English 10 course and currently in my Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition course. Samantha is a very dedicated and diligent student. Her academic accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. In February of 2017 she won the National Academy of Future Scientists And Technologists Award of Excellence. This award recognizes students who have a determination to serve humanity in the field of science and technology. More recently, in the spring of 2019, Samantha won an award for being ranked in the top 30 of her class. Samantha has also been involved in many extracurricular activities at school, which has given her much breadth. In March of 2019 she was part of the Skechers Performance LA Marathon Conquer Endurance Group, which ran the Los Angeles Marathon. She is a member of Students Run Los Angeles, a group at our high school that run l Oks, 15ks, half marathons, and marathons. For every race they raise and donate supplies. She has been a member of TELACU (The East Los Angeles Community Union), an organization that allows low-income students to visit various university campuses. As a student who has been in my class her 10`'' grade year and now her senior year in high school, I have seen Samantha mature academically and mentally. She takes her education very seriously. One of her strongest qualities is her tenacity for learning. She very often seeks my help in ways she can improve her writing. She even asks me for more work in order to practice and polish her grammar skills. She is not afraid to take risks and immerse herself in her studies. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Samantha Sandoval. It is a pleasure having her in my class these last two years. I am confident that she will continue to strive and be successful at the university level and that she will be a contributing factor in her community.

Balderas ~o o~ Principal 99~ OF EDUGA~\ 5 T E M March 11, 2020 To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to be a recommender for Samantha Sandoval Tamayo as she applies for the Vernon Community Fund Scholarship Program. As her math teacher during her junior year, I observed her to be a student who meant business when she walked into my class. She knew the value of an education and she was not going to waste any time in high school. Behind her calm and respectful demeanor was a young lady hungry for knowledge and a student appreciative of all the opportunities that come her way . Samantha has a passion for learning. She pushed herself to pass my weekly skills test as fast as she could so that she could go ahead to work on the pre-calculus skill sets. When her fellow classmates asked who was the student with the most stars on the progress chart, she kept quiet and did not boast about her being that student. Samantha worked hard in my class and finished in the top ten but she was tifumble to the fact that she has a lot to learn. She was a student I enjoyed helping because you could see in her notebook that she had done all she could with class notes, the textbook, peers and online resources to understand a problem. Coming to me was her last resort and her questioning showed her eagerness to learn the "why" behind the math procedures she learned in my class. Now that I see her working through her last year of high school, I see that there is more to the quiet and hardworking Samantha that came into my class each day. Samantha is a person driven by her desire to become a professional architect and/or civil engineer. Hence she has challenged herself academically by taking numerous honors and advanced placement courses, committing time to college prep programs such as College Match and TELACU, and pushing her limits by training for her second run of the Los Angeles Marathon with Students Run LA. She is a leader and role model among her senior class, community and siblings. For homecoming Samantha was able to recruit students to design and build a float for the homecoming parade, which has not been successfully done since our magnet program opened in 2014. For two years she has volunteered as a teacher assistant for a summer enrichment program at the California State University 1Jominguez Hills that provides STEM activities for middle school students. With all that she does during and after school hours she makes time in her busy schedule to take help her two younger siblings with their school work since her parents are not able to. Samantha Sandoval Tamayo is a person who does not run away from a challenge be it inside or outside the classroom. She is prepared to handle the rigorous math coursework that comes with being admitted to the architecture and/or civil engineering department at her university of choice. You can be certain that your investment in her will not go to waste. In the future you will be adding an architect to your list of scholarship recipients. Let me know if you need any further information.

COMMENTS TOTAL SCORE RECOMMENDED FOR VCF SCHOLARSHIP? Yes No IF YES, INDICATE RECOMMENDED AWARD AMOUNT: $ ________________ Angelica Garcia I am the oldest of three, my 12-year-old brother and baby sister are holding on to my hand as I lead them to what is known as the American dream. As the oldest woman, my parents expect me to lead, nurture and to show my siblings how to grow. As the oldest of three children and the daughter of the undocumented parents, my ambition for obtaining a higher education has been the only thing keeping me going. I see my one-year-old sister and see a reflection of my younger self. My siblings remind me that I have gone a long way in my education and that I still have the capability of going farther. Seeing my mother learn a new language and obtain her high school diploma while having to raise three children has motivated me to reach for the impossible. Knowing that she as a woman was able to put all the gender and her undocumented status limitations aside and prove to herself that she was capable of succeeding has helped me see how I could achieve more than what she could. I do not have to struggle with the limitation of being undocumented, my mother's limitations encouraged me to ask for help when I need it. I want to represent my culture in college and let everyone know that my people can also make it high and obtain the stars. I am a brown young lady with dreams to succeed. I wish to go to college to break down the walls that are keeping myself and my brown people captive. Obtaining a higher education will give me the key to stability and intellectuality. Even though I am ranked the top 2% of my class, I still recognize that I still have more growing to do. I aspire to be a high school college counselor and obtain a Master’s in Sociology and Education. I decided to be a college counselor at the end of my junior year after realizing the huge help students need when it comes to knowing their opportunities and filling out college applications. As a senior, I was chosen to be a Peer Counselor where I guide four seniors into Angelica Garcia college, helping them fill out their college applications. I have had to translate the Common Application, the Cal State and the University of California Application to one of my mentees. Many seniors especially seniors in underrepresented, low income communities like mine have no access to the help of a college counselor resulting in hundreds of seniors not applying to college. I know that as the first to go to college, I will struggle adjusting to something that no one in my family has ever experienced, but that does not stop me. On the other hand, that encourages me. My parents will not be there to hold my hand and guide me into the unknown but their values will always be by my side. They crossed the border so I could cross the stage. Currently, my father is the only person who works to maintain my family of five stable. My mother has been a homemaker all her life and does not assist my father in the work industry because she must stay home to care for my one-year-old sister. Having a baby in the household has brought a lot of expenses such as diapers and baby food. My mother gets assistance from WIC and Food Stamps, alleviating the expenses on food, but none of that money belongs to her. My dad must pay $800 for rent each month because they are unable to buy a home due to their undocumented status. Money has had the power to control what we can and cannot do. My father has not been able to get his high school diploma in order to open more job opportunities. He has been working in the same company as a Welder for the past 20 years. He earns the bare minimum wage, but with my senior year expenses and my baby sister’s necessities, it is almost impossible for him to save up money for college. My parents have talked to me multiple times about not being able to pay for my college education resulting in the necessity to find scholarships and hope to get the scholarship. I never thought that money had the ability to control how far I can go when it comes to my education. Angelica Garcia They encourage me to continue my education in order to obtain higher education and obtain a job that will give me what they, unfortunately, do not have. Not only have my academics and financial circumstances molded me into the person I am today, but also my running career. When I entered the team as a freshman, all I knew was to run fast. Now as captain of the Varsity Team, it is about having the ability to do what your mind and body say you cannot do. Cross Country has shown me that I do not need talent to be the best. What I need is mental perseverance. At times I want to give up and skip the second set of 440s, but I do not. I see my teammates, my coach, my medals, my competition, and my finish line. It is me against other teams, me against the hilly terrain, and me against myself. I am my biggest competition because I know that I have weaknesses in my mind. I recognize that I have a weak mentality that is prone to believing that it cannot break twenty-one minutes on a hilly terrain, but I have broken a twenty-one. I have won my own race. I might have never gotten first place, but I do win the race against my mentality. I know I do not have the expertise in hills like the other teams, but a weak mentality is something everyone has inherited since the day they began to compete. Running is not my misery; it is my motivator. I have learned to recognize my potential and my weakness. I have learned to love eight-mile runs and the adventure running has to offer. Now that graduation is around the corner, there is a bigger challenge at stake that is not an uphill field; it is college. I am a strong candidate because I have the ambition of always doing more and never settling. I will always push one more mile.

I have been fortunate to have had Angelica as a student in my biology and chemistry classes. In the 19 years that I have been teaching she is in the top 2% not only because of her intelligence but also because of her strong work ethic, resilience, and a great sense of citizenship and accountability. Angelica is a student that definitely leads by example. Among the many obstacles that she faces include having to deal with the financial hardships that a poor immigrant family struggles with on a daily basis. Additionally, being raised in a community where education is predominantly not a priority because of the economic struggles that most families face have added to the challenges around her. Fortunately, with the support of her parents and Angelica’s innate drive to succeed helped her see the importance of fighting for her education not only for a better life for herself but also for her family and community. Angelica is truly dedicated to her education, family, and community. In my classroom, she was able to understand all concepts including the very complicated conceptual ones. If she experienced difficulty in comprehension she always asked questions for clarification and without hesitation would help her classmates if needed. Angelica does not shy away from challenges; on the contrary she seeks them out with the intention of better preparing herself. For example, she has made it a point to be programed into multiple honors and advance placement courses to expose herself to an academic rigor that will provide the tools for college success. Therefore, it is not surprising that she has been able to earn a 4.0+ GPA thus far and that she has passed multiple advanced placement tests. Additionally, Angelica has dedicated substantial time to extracurricular activities that focus on her continual growth as a productive member of her community. Her extracurricular activities include being part of multiple school clubs and sport teams where she has always been part of the leardership teams. In regards to sports, she participated in our very successful cross country and track and field teams where she lead as captain and helped win championships year after year. A testament to her commitment to her team and education was when she had to make the difficult decision of rescheduling an AP exam test date, regardless of being warned that the test would be a lot more difficult, so that she could lead her track and field team in a final competition. Another example of her sense of citizenship and duty was her leadership in coordinating our school’s Hispanic Heritage Month assembly, which included dancers, music, guest speakers, and food that celebrated diverse Latino cultures. This event took up a lot of her time and energy but she fulfilled her role with great enthusiasm because she takes pride in who she is and where she comes from. Hence it is of no surprise that she will use her college education to mentor and support low-income immigrant students and their families. Angelica’s value for education, citizenship, and hard work has conveyed to her peers, teachers, family, and most importantly to herself that she is a valuable member of her community and that her fight for her education will not only empower herself but also her family and community. Like all that come to know Angelica, she has my admiration and respect and so I strongly recommend her with no reservations. If I can be of any further assistance, or provide you with any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Juan L. Garcia Social Studies Teacher James A. Garfield Senior High 5101 E. 6th Street LA CA 90022 20 months I had the honor of being Angelica's U.S. History teacher during the 2018-2019 academic year. During these years I have witnessed Angelica's tremendous growth in leadership, confidence and academic excellence. Angelica has learned to appreciate opportunity and education much more than the average student. She is resilient, goal-oriented and socially conscious of the conditions in her community. Angelica has taken a leadership role by organizing and speaking at school wide assemblies designed to empower students and community residents to search their cultural identity, pride and to strive for higher education and community improvement. She is patient, organized and yet firm in her passion as a motivator and role model. Angelica truly wants to help her community and instead of waiting for directions, she has become a leader.Despite her tremendous academic, extra curricular and athletic success, Angelica Garcia has remained humble, dedicated and always willing to improve. As an athlete, Angelica has proven to be a leader on and off the racing track. Although she has been the Girls Varsity Captain for distance since ninth grade, she remains humble and supportive of her teammates. Angelica has mastered training routines and has led the team by example. She is among the most dedicated and competitive runners in the school. As senior student-athlete, Angelica often mentors and supports younger runners who sometimes struggle managing their academic and athletic commitments. I have seen Angelica practice and compete with such determination and sportsmanship that I rarely see in students. 3/25/2020 James A. Garfield Senior High School 5101 East 6th Street. Los Angeles, CA 90022 (323) 981-5500 March 15, 2020 To the members of the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Scholarship, I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Angelica Garcia to receive this valuable scholarship. I met Angelica in August of 2018 when I read her name on my U.S. History class roster. Today I can tell you that Angelica is no longer a name on a roster, she has impressed me with her sterling academic and personal qualities, her commitment to academic success, competitiveness in sports, her passion to help others and her inspiring positive attitude to pursue her goals. Angelica Garcia is a unique type of student who truly deserves this opportunity. Angelica was born and raised in East Los Angeles. She comes from a working class family who values education and a strong work ethic not only as a tool to overcome poverty, but also as a way to help improve the conditions in her community. Her parents emigrated from Mexico in search of better economic, educational and social opportunities. They have three children, and as the oldest, Angelica will be the first in her family to pursue higher education. But instead of feeling pressured and nervous about college, Angelica has made it a commitment to graduate and help pave the way to college for her younger siblings. Her parents have worked hard to survive in tough economic times and Angelica has learned to appreciate opportunity and education much more than the average student. She is resilient, goal oriented and socially conscious of the conditions in her community. She wants to help change the negative statistics affecting her community. For example, in East Los Angeles only about six percent of the population has earned a B.A. degree or higher. Angelica attends Garfield High School, which unfortunately lacks access to Advanced Placement courses and often has overcrowded classrooms. Angelica understands the limitations in our community, but she wants to be part of the change and the generation of young people who will help improve the conditions in East Los Angeles. As a student, Angelica is one of the brightest, hardest working, and most responsible I have ever known. I have been impressed by her ability to take charge and accomplish whatever projects are assigned to her- always with a smile and positive attitude. Her level of maturity and willingness to learn convince me that Angelica will accomplish great success in life. Without a doubt, Angelica is the best student in all of my U.S. history classes this year. Her level of critical thinking is superior. Last semester, I assigned a two-minute performance on various historical topics. Angelica delivered an inspiring and thought provoking speech on the Chicano Education Pipeline. She motivated the class to not settle with less, to wake up and take their education seriously. When we watched the film Walkout in class, Angelica was quick to connect the 1968 East Los Angeles Walkouts within the context of the civil rights movement. She energetically questioned the fact that the Mexican American experience is often excluded from high school history textbooks. Her contributions ignited a productive class conversation, which helped to inspire students to take an active role in enriching and maintaining that historical legacy. Angelica continuously and consistently displays a superior critical thinking ability, that’s why I am not surprised she earned the Excellence in Critical Thinking Award from the Garfield High School Computer Science Magnet Program. Angelica has taken a leadership role by organizing and speaking at school wide assemblies designed to empower students and community residents to search their cultural identity, pride and to strive for higher education and community improvement. For instance, she gave her Chicano Education Pipeline speech during our Chicano Moratorium Assembly where civil rights leaders like Rosalio Munoz and Gloria Arellanes also presented. Early this year, Angelica and another student decided to organize Garfield High School’s first ever Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration. They were able to include the parent center, Aztec dancers, the Garfield Mariachi group and local community leaders like Carlos Montes to inspire and bring the community together. Angelica is a dedicated student who also strives to help other students see the value in education and their heritage. Angelica intends to pursue a career in sociology or Chicano Studies to help individuals in her community find their own identity and value in society. Her personality and the fact that she loves to investigate, read and write convince me that she will accomplish her objective. Angelica is the type of student who does not settle with academic success. Her extracurricular activities and volunteer work add to her character. Since tenth grade, Angelica has been an active member in the Environmental Club. She is constantly researching environmental issues affecting our city and planet and also finding ways to inspire students in our school to engage in the environmental movement. She was instrumental is getting approval for our first ever school garden. The club planted native plants and they do maintenance on the garden every week. In regards to community engagement, Angelica is an active member at Resurrection Catholic Church, where for two years she has helped teach catechism to first and second graders. She is also the communications point person in the church’s youth group. Angelica has helped organize fundraisers, charity drives and youth retreats. Her level of confidence has increased drastically and now she is even a minister of communion and reading. She basically reads passages of the bible at Sunday’s mass in front of hundreds of people. Lastly, this year Angelica serves as a peer college counselor in the College Center to assist students with the admissions and financial aid process. She has been an advocate for undocumented students as she motivates them to pursue higher learning and to look for scholarships. She is patient, organized and yet firm in her passion as a motivator and role model. Angelica truly wants to help her community and instead of waiting for directions, she has become a leader. In early March, Angelica and a few of her peers led three assemblies for the entire ninth and tenth grade classes in the school’s gym to highlight the importance of education and to share their tips of success, struggles and recommendations. Angelica was the lead student in this effort, her courage and dedication does not go unnoticed. As an athlete, Angelica has proven to be a leader on and off the racing track. Although she has been the Girls Varsity Captain for distance since ninth grade, she remains humble and supportive of her teammates. Angelica has mastered training routines and has led the team by example. She is among the most dedicated and competitive runners in the school. As a senior student athlete, Angelica often mentors and supports younger runners who sometimes struggle managing their academic and athletic commitments. She reminds them that they are student athletes, not just athletes. Angelica is supportive of her teammates in other competitions and she is among the first to show support to those who suffer injuries. I have seen Angelica practice and compete with such determination and sportsmanship that I rarely see in students. Despite her tremendous academic, extra curricular and athletic success, Angelica Garcia has remained humble, dedicated and always willing to improve. This is why she is well liked by her peers, faculty and staff at Garfield High. To conclude, I would like to restate my strong recommendation for Angelica Garcia. I am sure she will be genuinely grateful to receive the Vernon CommUNITYFund Scholarship. If you have further questions regarding this letter of recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me using the information on this letterhead, or by email at Sincerely, Juan Luis Garcia Social Studies Teacher March 25, 2020 I have not made a final decision regarding my enrollment to a higher institution. I am still waiting on further admission letters as of today’s date. I was told to provide a list of at least three institutions of which I am hoping to hear from. I have not yet received a formal admissions letter from Stanford University or the University of California, Berkeley. I have provided the financial summary and acceptance letter from UCLA, who has admitted me for the upcoming school year. I am aware that I will have to provide proof of a final enrollment prior to the issuance of the scholarship grant award if I am selected as the recipient.
