Mission Description	Good Tidings Foundation, founded in 1995, is a 501(c)3 children's charity that looks to equally support ARTS, EDUCATION, ATHLETICS and DREAMS for youth from communities of need in the Greater Bay Area. 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	MissionDescription

Description	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 99 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. 38 Basketball Courts 24 Tennis Courts 22 Baseball Fields 8 Street Hockey Courts 3 Football Fields 3 Fitness Centers 2 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 $45,500).	Description

Description	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 $11,200).

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d	Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: The Good Tidings Foundation Dreams program includes Rock Star Road Trips, Thanksgiving, and the Holiday Toy Giveaway.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.One of the newer traditions Good Tidings has adopted is putting on a Thanksgiving program for some of the most deserving families. Each year, a handful of the families of our Art Center students is invited to enjoy a delicious hot meal on Thanksgiving Day at the Art Center or are taken on a surprise outing complete with Thanksgiving fixings and special gifts to bring home to their families.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.(PLUS IN-KIND EXPENSES OF $9,213).
