Good Tidings creates original projects and works in partnership with professional sports franchises, businesses and agencies throughout the Bay Area, leveraging resources in order to increase access to enriching opportunities by deserving youth. We design, fund and build projects that are maintained and programmed in perpetuity by school districts, recreation departments, or city governments. Our general boundaries include the cities of Monterey/Salinas/Hollister/Los Banos to the south, Turlock/Modesto/Lodi/Davis to the east, and Bodega Bay/Santa Rosa/Calistoga to the north. We believe that every child deserves to have the means to achieve his or her dreams regardless of financial status, ethnic background, religion, or region of living.

In June, we opened a studio at Alice Coopers The Rock Teen Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The studio offers art classes to the approximately 100 at-risk teens hosted at the center daily. In September, we dedicated another art studio at Kelly High School in the Southside of Chicago, Illinois. The studio is available for classes to the approximately 470 9-12th graders that attend the school. We continue to purchase all the art supplies annually for the 8 LeRoy Neiman Studios we have built. Our traditional art studio environment fosters creativity and imagination. Integrating their school curriculum with visual art fundamentals, students experience high-level structured classes while embracing different cultures. These classes enhance critical thinking and develop cognitive, social and personal competencies. 142569 100000 EDUCATION - We modified our Community Service Scholarship so that we now award 10 scholarships of $10,000 each, totaling $100,000. We have awarded nearly 400 students $1,417,000 in scholarship funding over the years. 54946 1111236 true true false false false false false true false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 5 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 13 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false true true false CA X X LARRY HARPER 8008247366 1469 ROLLINS ROAD BURLINGAME CA 94010 LARRY HARPER EXEC DIR / SEC 50.00 0.00 X X 159125 0 76580 MATTHEW KING President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JERRI KAY-PHILLIPS Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARRITJE GREENE Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AARON BARULICH Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GLENN DEKRAKER Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID FLEMMING Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RON FRANKS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DREW HAGEN Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIDGETTE HARPER Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICK LYONS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MCNULTY Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA OTIS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIM POPOVITS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICH SARRIS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 159125 76580 1 false true false 0 241570 4076013 4317583 0 188581 188581 0 0 0 25642 34487 -8845 -8845 -8845 55680 241570 80479 -24799 -24799 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 2521 2521 2521 4475041 -6324 163782 0 100000 100000 0 0 235705 200349 23571 11785 0 237244 113536 28262 95446 9000 5250 1250 2500 65752 24206 8578 32968 27926 17529 3112 7285 0 0 0 0 0 0 53965 12374 41591 11228 10917 311 35667 4824 30843 6782 315 6467 0 25733 11000 14733 32020 23011 8944 65 0 0 3007 3007 0 34233 11639 11297 11297 32617 2919 29698 ATHLETICS FIELD RESTORATION 343793 343793 ART STUDIO CONSTRUCTION 224053 224053 OTHER PROJECT EXPENSES 29604 28881 723 MISCELLANEOUS 2143 890 1253 530 246 284 1511002 1111236 188798 210968 674540 508035 380853 963524 462939 2714505 13999 0 0 0 0 2346 175630 90171 102646 85459 4100886 4931324 0 0 0 484800 242079 6206664 9461271 108753 111360 100000 150000 52600 50993 261353 312353 X 321776 1766627 5623535 1365653 6016638 5945311 9148918 6206664 9461271 2964039 180702 58866 X false true X false false X 611010 1344954 2324432 1147410 3996448 9424254 0 0 611010 1344954 2324432 1147410 3996448 9424254 4520275 4903979 75826 101577 107939 182334 188581 656257 0 2139 1194 143510 20 2521 149384 10229895 0.47940 0.52080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 238279 true 4334563 3326944 369233 184458 7846282 3366168 1103052 -134657 4334563 3064284 137825 164059 3366168 2566334 117500 380450 3064284 2281906 43157 241271 2566334 0.12000 0.77000 0.11000 false false false 58260 32165 26095 105629 51329 54300 11741 6677 5064 85459 4675282 180702 19539 200241 4475041 4475041 1530541 19539 19539 1511002 1511002 Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.

The Rock Star Road Trips program introduces teens to influential professionals and leaders in their respective fields on day-long outings to inspire and encourage them to dream big. Often times, inner-city youth cannot picture themselves out of their environment it is a vicious cycle that holds them down. Rock Star Road Trips expose teens to new possibilities and to mentors that can show them how dreams are made possible. A day spent with influential professionals and leaders makes the idea of dreams tangible and imaginable. Good Tidings Foundation began back in 1995 as a holiday toy giveaway charity in our Founder's garage. Although we've evolved and have gone on to serve thousands of underserved youth in our key areas of Arts, Education, Athletics and Dreams, we have continued to donate thousands of toys to children each year during the holidays. In 2016, we also partnered with the Turning Wheels Foundation to obtain 42 new bicycles that were donated to children at Providence Baptist Church in San Franciscos Bayview District.
