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 wer false false 747325 Good Tidings Foundation partners exclusively with the San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors, San Jose Sharks, Oakland Athletics, San Francisco 49ers, NY Yankee CC Sabathia, Olympic Gold Medalist Kerri Walsh and other professional athletes to build or refurbish facilities that benefit underserved communities. Since 1997, Good Tidings has constructed 121 athletic facilities throughout the Greater Bay Area. Our gifts continue to give year round, providing a safe, healthy place for families and youth to play and enjoy. 46.5 Basketball Courts 24 Tennis Courts 33.5 Baseball Fields 8 Street Hockey Courts 3 Football Fields 3 Fitness Centers 3 Volleyball Courts 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 (PLUS IN-KIND EXPENSES OF $20,861). 227745 Realizing the lack of art programs at schools due to budget cuts, each year the LeRoy Neiman Art Center for Youth in San Francisco provides free art education for over 600 underserved 5th-8th graders whose schools no longer support it. 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. The LeRoy Neiman Art Center for Youth offers classes including, but not limited to: acrylic painting on canvas inspired by LeRoy Neiman still-life sketching with pastels quilting and sewing inspired by the Quilts of Gee's Bend circus scenes inspired by Alexander Calder clay and plaster work murals watercolors glass mosaics Unlike after school programs where art is perceived as less important than core subjects, our studio operates during school hours on a field-trip basis. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES THE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SCHOOLS, INSTRUCTION, AND ALL SUPPLIES. To prioritize art education and the creativity it develops during the school day, we integrate their current curriculum into art projects enhancing history, science and others to a higher level of comprehensive learning. Art Director and Instructor Rebecca Shannon shares her expertise with our students in an encouraging and imaginative way conducive to learning and growth.(PLUS IN-KIND EXPENSES OF $4,000). 143262 100500 Good Tidings supports education by providing education grants to high school seniors in need who have dedicated themselves to extraordinary community service projects. Since its inception, we have granted a total of $1,117,000 to 331 deserving high school seniors. In 1999, the Good Tidings Foundation Community Service Scholarship program started small, with five recipients receiving $1,000 each. Today, our program awards $100,000 annually to 20 underserved high school seniors at $5,000 each, providing much needed support to youth who have demonstrated tremendous leadership potential despite their economic circumstances. 48003 1166335 true true false false false false false true false true true false false true 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 2 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 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 / SEC 50.00 0.00 X X 159250 0 74871 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 SHAUNA SMITH 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 JENNY PARK-CHOI Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICH SARRIS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA LOWE Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIM POPOVITS Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 159250 74871 1 false true false 0 2559479 2559479 0 168548 168548 0 0 0 252776 23000 252220 80498 556 -57498 -56942 -56942 257348 82276 175072 175072 0 0 RELOCATION INCOME 900099 143510 143510 143510 2989667 -56942 487130 0 100500 100500 0 0 234122 199003 23412 11707 0 193468 101324 46342 45802 11400 6450 3900 1050 43772 13640 27431 2701 25966 16891 4824 4251 0 0 438 438 0 0 0 16047 16047 35411 22695 895 11821 42143 6726 31751 3666 16325 44 16281 0 36045 13975 22070 50529 32435 12335 5759 0 0 1934 1934 0 41145 19140 11002 11003 15093 2308 12452 333 PROJECT EXPENSES 652767 650761 2006 AUCTION CATALOGUE 25797 25797 MINOR GIFTS 16696 1922 8922 5852 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 9710 9710 -30121 -21479 -8642 1539187 1166335 243110 129742 568371 879448 99078 84759 250961 16050 0 0 0 0 0 164390 34498 136254 129892 3138589 4009757 0 0 0 450361 470901 4392653 5841768 57159 63400 100000 68832 66236 125991 229636 X 167213 258775 4099449 5353357 4266662 5612132 4392653 5841768 X 1450480 -100000 -5010 X false true X false false X 782714 1179283 1336575 1601099 2324432 7224103 0 0 782714 1179283 1336575 1601099 2324432 7224103 2215892 5008211 55942 64391 75826 101577 107939 405675 0 2737 225 2139 1194 143510 149805 7779583 0.64380 0.67790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 463900 true 3064284 137825 164059 3366168 2566334 117500 380450 3064284 2281906 43157 241271 2566334 2059563 216500 16843 11000 2281906 1837620 63620 158323 2059563 1.00000 false false false 58260 8041 50219 94389 24476 69913 11741 1981 9760 129892 ITEMS HELD FOR AUCTION 4800 Rounding 1 SECURITY DEPOSIT 2200 WORKS OF ART 463900 470901 3045790 -5010 61133 56123 2989667 2989667 1600320 61133 61133 1539187 1539187 Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.

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.
