TWENTY-FOUR (24) STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN OUR PROGRAMS DURING FISCAL 2023. THE BRANDON FOUNDATION WAS ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. SPECIFICALLY, THE BRANDON FOUNDATION IS A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM WHERE STUDENTS ARE SHOWN THE POWER OF THEIR POTENTIAL THROUGH FAMILY-FOCUSED SUPPORTS AND INDIVIDUALIZED MENTORING. IN 2013, FORT WAYNE, INDIANA HAD ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY YEARS SINCE 1997. MURDER IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY FACTORS THAT AT-RISK CHILDREN (CHILDREN WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HARDSHIPS SUCH AS POVERTY, LOSING A PARENT TO CRIME OR DEATH, SINGLE-PARENT HOMES, ECT.) ARE PRONE TO IF NOT SUPPORTED AT EARLY AGE. THE BRANDON FOUNDATION OPENED ITS DOORS IN AUGUST 2013 TO REACH OUT TO YOUNG, AT-RISK CHILDREN TO PROTECT, EMPOWER, AND ENRICH THEIR DREAMS AS THEY BECOME YOUNG ADULTS. AT THE BRANDON FOUNDATION, STUDENTS, BETWEEN THE AGES OF FIVE TO SEVENTEEN, MEET TWICE A WEEK FOR TWO HOURS AND ARE PARTNERED WITH A MENTOR/TUTOR WHO HELPS THEM BY SUPPORTING THEIR ACADEMIC GOALS. DAILY CURRICULUM SCHEDULES ARE DEVELOPED TO MEET STUDENTS' INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC NEEDS. EACH MONTH, STUDENTS FOCUS ON A CHARACTERISTIC TRAIT AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED, PREPARING STUDENT BECOME POSITIVE LEADERS AND CITIZENS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. AT THE BRANDON FOUNDATION, WE BELIEVE THERE ARE SIX KEY COMPONENTS TO SUCCESS FOR OUR PROGRAM AND OUR CHILDREN: FAMILY OUTREACH, SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATIONAL EMPOWERMENT, COMMUNITY AWARENESS, AND TALENT SCOUTING. WITHIN EACH OF THESE COMPONENTS, THE BRANDON FOUNDATION RECOGNIZES AND TEACHES CORE VALUES TO OUR STUDENTS WHILE SHOWING THEM THEIR POTENTIAL AND HELPING THEM TO MEET THEIR GOALS. IT IS THE GOAL OF THE BRANDON FOUNDATION TO HAVE ITS STUDENTS REMAIN WITHIN THE PROGRAM, BECOME JUNIOR MENTORS TO OTHER STUDENTS, AND EVENTUALLY RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS AND COLLEGE FUNDING FOR THEIR FUTURE ACADEMIC ENDEAVORS. THROUGH FUNDING FROM PRIVATE DONATION AND FEDERAL GRANTS, THE BRANDON FOUNDATION WORKS TOWARDS EXPANDING OUR PROGRAM BY MOVING INTO ITS OWN FACILITY, ADDING MORE DAYS AND ALLOWING FOR MORE STUDENTS, AS WELL AS CREATING A LARGER PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY AND DEVELOPING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS EDUCATIONAL FUTURES. SINCE AUGUST 2013, THE BRANDON FOUNDATION HAS RAISED OVER $740,000 THROUGH FUNDRAISING THAT GROWS OUR ORGANIZATION AND OPENS UP NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS. 89845 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false true false false IN X JOHN DUFF 2603874267 4004 CRAWFORD ROAD FORT WAYNE IN 46845 CATY SMITH CEO/FOUNDER 40.0 0.0 X 50000 0 0 CADIE BEASLEY PRESIDENT 2.3 0.0 X X 0 0 0 JOHN DUFF TREASURER 2.3 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ROCKELL ALLEN SECRETARY 2.3 0.0 X X 0 0 0 KENDRA KLINK DIRECTOR 2.3 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARK LONG VICE PRESIDENT 2.3 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ADAM BISCHOFF DIRECTOR 2.3 0.0 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER KNOBLAUCH DIRECTOR 2.3 0.0 X 0 0 0 50000 0 0 0 false false false 0 14700 223806 238506 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 36420 36969 -549 -549 -549 22530 14700 5446 17084 17084 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 255041 16535 2368 2368 5959 5959 0 0 50000 29500 3500 17000 0 2051 1210 144 697 0 0 4481 2643 314 1524 0 0 13561 13561 0 0 0 0 3422 3422 2871 1583 930 358 246 238 6 2 0 10107 10107 3908 3786 93 29 0 1189 602 587 0 0 0 1761 1305 456 STUDENT PROGRAMMING 7740 7740 SHARED MEALS 11754 11754 MENTOR APPRECIATION 408 408 OTHER 7220 7220 129046 89845 19591 19610 120933 223687 0 0 44000 44000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 143 248 3878 2265 1612 1613 134344 154344 0 0 0 0 1500 0 0 0 302532 423892 1923 1923 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1923 1923 X 146861 268221 153748 153748 300609 421969 302532 423892 125995 -4635 X false false false X 86181 93694 274023 88054 238506 780458 0 0 86181 93694 274023 88054 238506 780458 298111 482347 3434 3434 0 0 783892 0.61532 0.68960 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3878 2265 1613 1613 EVENING TO EMPO 37230 14700 22530 5446 NONE 0 0 0 0 0 37230 14700 22530 5446 5446 17084 true STUDENT PERSONAL NEEDS 10 2462 COST COATS, SHOES, ETC.
