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 373714 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 $8,330). 148998 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 $889,000 to 263 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 (PLUS IN-KIND EXPENSES OF $3,195). 130811 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 daylong 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 $12,015). 70721 724244 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 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true false false true true false false X X LARRY HARPER 4152831811 PIER 9 SPACE 117 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94111 RICH SARRIS 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNY PARK-CHOI 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MCNULTY 2.00 X 0 0 0 RICK LYONS 5.00 X 0 0 0 DREW HAGEN 2.00 X 0 0 0 RON FRANKS 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE FLEMMING 2.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE BLANKENSHIP 1.00 X 0 0 0 BILL BARULICH 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARRITJE GREENE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JERRI KAY-PHILLIPS 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MATTHEW KING 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LARRY HARPER 50.00 X X 162242 0 50992 162242 50992 1 false true false 0 1179283 22500 1179283 0 64391 64391 0 0 0 637098 22016 627903 22016 9195 9195 9195 195195 56694 138501 138501 0 0 OTHER INCOME 225 225 225 1391595 9195 203117 0 107900 107900 0 0 147000 117600 22050 7350 0 143609 85859 26950 30800 32200 22400 5820 3980 62407 46544 10059 5804 20765 14372 3516 2877 0 0 6000 6000 0 0 0 9000 9000 0 54962 28388 21865 4709 529 179 175 175 0 24015 24015 46824 33705 7995 5124 0 0 692 692 0 26877 16819 5033 5025 15479 7190 4217 4072 TOYS PROGRAM AND OTHER 34009 34009 PROJECT EXPENSES 173291 173291 MISCELLANEOUS 2183 1813 370 MIINOR GIFTS 5796 1160 2318 2318 AUCTION CATALOGUE 33399 33399 2389 2389 949326 715244 119449 114633 240505 386239 93445 57251 48000 14001 28575 0 0 0 0 0 378166 96762 150581 281404 1745561 1844344 0 0 0 565850 635096 2843942 3246910 22779 40221 22779 40221 X 244360 87144 2576803 3119545 2821163 3206689 2843942 3246910 X 442269 -56743 X true false false false false X 1351578 1392631 747689 782714 1179283 5453895 0 0 1351578 1392631 747689 782714 1179283 5453895 2062737 3391158 40420 42478 39456 55942 64391 242687 0 397 2737 225 3359 5699941 0.59490 0.63710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 607000 false 2059563 216500 16843 11000 2281906 1837620 63620 158323 2059563 1578337 25330 233953 1837620 false false false 117063 11706 105357 238173 64045 174128 22930 21011 1919 281404 WORKS OF ART 607000 SECURITY DEPOSIT 8261 PREPAID EXPENSES 2335 ITEMS HELD FOR AUCTION 17500 635096 Part XI, Line 8 Part XI, Line 8: Other Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances UNREALIZED LOSS ON INVESTMENTS $ -56743 Part V, Line 4 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

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 $10,275).
