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. It is the spirit of the holiday season that we w false false 650924 ATHLETICS - In 2015 we built/refurbished: Hayward High School Baseball Field, San Lorenzo Little League, Ella Hutch Gym in San Francisco, Excelsior Boys & Girls Club Gym in San Francisco, Sacred Heart Nativity School Playground in San Jose, Basketball Court at Town Center Housing in Oakland, Police Athletic League Courts in Oakland, Cesar Chavez Park Courts in Salinas, Roosevelt Park Basketball Courts in Sacramento, and Rainbow Rec Center Basketball Courts in Oakland. Every location undergoes a drastic makeover, transforming them from unusable to state-of-the-art. These renovations develop the community structurally and enable impressionable children to develop physically, emotionally and psychologically in a safe environment. Our facilities turned abandoned, needle-littered dead space into family activity zones and community gathering areas. They become destinations and bring excitement and value to communities, drawing families out of their homes to engage with neighbors. 238223 ARTS - In 2015, Good Tidings began in full force to build two LeRoy Neiman Art Studios each calendar year. In April, we opened a studio on the campus of Eastside Prep in East Palo Alto, CA. It serves the student body of 6th through 12th graders with daily visual art classes. In September, we dedicated another art studio at Union Settlement in East Harlem, NY. Union Settlement serves the public housing population in Harlem. The studio is open for daily after school art classes and summer school. We continue to purchase all the art supplies annually for the 6 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. We submerge students in art with up to seven two-hour or day-long visits a year to enhance their critical thinking and develop cognitive, social and personal competencies. 136843 100000 EDUCATION - We continued our Community Service Scholarship and awarded another 20 scholarships totaling $100,000. We have awarded nearly 400 students $1,317,000 in scholarship funding over the years. 53781 1079771 true true false false false false false true false true true false false true false false false 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 2 0 true 8 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false 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 FOUNDER/SECTY 50.00 0.00 X X 147000 0 70916 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 BILL 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 RICK LYONS Trustee 5.00 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 147000 70916 1 false true false 0 331880 1297870 1629750 0 182334 182334 0 0 0 0 64320 331880 67129 -2809 -2809 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 20 20 20 1809295 20 179525 0 100000 100000 0 0 217916 185229 21791 10896 0 123293 77087 33833 12373 7000 4750 750 1500 32301 19842 9948 2511 20492 15317 3680 1495 0 0 17500 17500 0 0 0 42350 19486 7992 14872 1144 1144 23865 3189 20676 0 0 29417 11000 18417 26312 22276 3629 407 0 0 3409 3409 0 32937 11199 10869 10869 31913 22515 8322 1076 PROJECT EXPENSES 585313 584472 841 AUCTION CATALOGUE 45760 45760 MINOR GIFTS 8932 8682 250 FINANCIAL CHARGES 6716 1495 5221 3294 3294 1359864 1079771 172863 107230 879448 674540 84759 380853 250961 462939 16050 0 0 0 0 0 0 170081 67435 129892 102646 4009757 4100886 0 0 0 470901 484800 5841768 6206664 63400 108753 100000 100000 66236 52600 229636 261353 X 258775 321776 5353357 5623535 5612132 5945311 5841768 6206664 449431 -316943 5691 195000 X true X false false false X 1422772 611010 1344954 2324432 1147410 6850578 0 0 1422772 611010 1344954 2324432 1147410 6850578 2929085 3921493 64391 75826 101577 107939 182334 532067 0 225 2139 1194 143510 20 147088 7529733 0.52080 0.64380 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 477500 true 3366168 1103052 -134657 4334563 3064284 137825 164059 3366168 2566334 117500 380450 3064284 2281906 43157 241271 2566334 2059563 216500 16843 11000 2281906 1.00000 false false false 58260 20103 38157 100080 43003 57077 11741 4329 7412 102646 ITEMS HELD FOR AUCTION 5100 SECURITY DEPOSIT 2200 WORKS OF ART 477500 484800 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 hundreds of thousands of toys to children each year during the holidays. In 2015, we also partnered with the Turning Wheels Foundation to obtain 42 new bicycles.
