The second is to reduce deaths and injuries from distracted driving by increasing awareness among young drivers and gaining their commitment to change.At Hunter's Fund, we support young men and women of diverse interests and talents, so they can let their passions shine.Our inspiration and our mission come from Hunter himself. He was a young man of extremely diverse talents and interests. Wherever he went, whatever he did, he brought a spark and a smile and a contagious energy that inspired those around him.MissionDesc

DescThe Hunter Brooks Watson Memorial Fund believes young people hold the answers to where the next great ideas come from, who will provide insight, inspiration, and hard work to create a better tomorrow. Young people are using their talents and passions to find ways to improve the world. Their dreams are of things yet to be seen. While we don't know what tomorrow will bring, we do know that today's youth and their ideas will be propelling the changes to come. Hunter's Fund invests in young people (16-25) who have demonstrated talent, experience, and passion. These grants reward innovation and provide support for young people who approach life with powerful ideas. Preference is given to applications in the areas of music, performing arts, computer science, and entrepreneurship.Desc

DescSafe Driving Programs Hunter Watson died as a passenger in a distracted driving accident just as he was to enter his junior year in college. Distracted driving accidents are preventable and changing behavior is one of the most promising ways of reducing accidents caused by distracted driving. Studies based upon seat belt usage and disposable waste have shown that signing a written pledge can effectively change behavior. Research also shows that per-mile-driven, 16-19 year-olds die in fatal car crashes at nearly three times the rate of drivers 20 years and older, and 70% of teens report using social media. The loss of someone in a driving accident at such a young age can change the lives of their friends and famalies for a lifetime. In 2021, the Hunter Brooks Watson Memorial Fund prepared campaign material to fund safe driving campaigns on 45 college and high school campuses. COVID-19 restrictions began impacting thses campaigns in March of 2020 and have continued to have an effect on programs through the end of 2021. Materials were produced in 2020 that enabled these campaigns to continue in compliance with CDC and campus guidelines, and these materials have continued to be an important point in gaining support from campus administrators. As many schools began to return to campus in Spring of 2021, these newly designed materials allowed students to commit to safer driving while keeping themselves and their community protected during an unprecedent pandemic. The program has seen significant growth through 2021 as an unprecedented 15 campuses hosted campaigns in Fall of 2021 beating previous records for funds raised and pledges signed.Desc

DescEducationWith the organization's safe driving programs on dozens of campuses, print newsletters, website, blog, social media and email communications, and educational materials that reach young people, parents and those in the educational community seek to build awareness of the potential of new ideas and how recognizing and supporting these young people can help them become potential for change in our own future. Continued education of the importance of safe driving and reminders of the commitment those signing pledges encourage continued safe driving. Wristbands and key chain reminders were given to pledge signers who have shown to be a reminder to those wearing them each time they get behind the wheel of a car or as a passenger in a vehicle.Desc

To recognize new ideas as they emerge, Hunter's Fund reviews Grant applications twice a year, with closing dates of June 15 and November 15. The number and amount of Grants awarded depend on the quality and number of Grant applications received, in addition to funds available. The Hunter's Fund Grants Committee, made up of between 12 and 22 young people, reviews all applications that meet the stated requirements. Each application is assigned a score for each answer. Each reviewer's scores are added together to achieve an overall ranking for the application. It is important to answer every question and submit two recommendations to achieve the highest score. Applicants receiving the five highest scores may be asked to submit a 1 to 2-minute video to personally describe their project and passion. The top candidates are sent to Hunter's Fund Board of Directors, who makes the final decisions. This program was founded for awarding Grants to students like Hunter, who had an insatiable curiosity about things in the area of music, performing arts, computer science, and entrepreneurship. Most applicants benefit from knowing something about Hunter, which can easily be found in the section "About Hunter" on our web site at www.hunterwaton.org. These are the things the Grants are based upon. Also, applicants are asked to take time to review the newsletter archive to learn more about what has been previously funded. Previously, Grant winners have used this information to improve the possibility of their Grant being funded. Grants cannot be used to support college tuition. The mission of Hunter's Fund is to enable young entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams, and we are deeply committed to following this model. Therefore, unless there is a compelling reason why some tuition is needed to complete a project, we do not accept applications that request financial assistance for tuition purposes. We do, however, understand that financial aid is important and thus encourage applicants to apply to several scholarship organizations to put together a financial package to assist with tuition and other needs they may have that Hunter's Fund does not finance. Applications must contain a detailed explanation of the project, timeline, and budget, including any other sources of funding they may be receiving. Their budget should list only the essential and necessary components needed to complete their project. All Grant funds must be used for the specific purposes described in the application and not be used for any other costs or expenses without prior written approval from Hunter's Fund. Carefully budgeted application proposals are a key part of the application process. Any expense that is not properly justified may delay the review and selection process. The following is a list of items that are not supported through this Grant: new computers, business development supplies (i.e., business cards), membership in organizations, social media platforms, or obtaining patents before a project has been developed and has proof of viability. Most laptop computers and music instruments/equipment can be rented or available through schools, libraries, or specialized stores. If the application requires these supplies, it is recommended a budget line for rental expenses be included. If a purchase is necessary, we ask that a clear and thorough justification be included in the application to help in the additional examination. Applicants' GPA, community service, leadership roles, or religious affiliation will neither benefit nor negatively impact an application. School transcripts are requested only as evidence that the applicant has attended school and is in good standing. All applicants must identify two references who can speak to their character and passion. Hunter's Fund will notify the references and request they upload their recommendation letter to the grantee's profile by the application deadline. References must be professional contacts or teachers. Relatives and friends are not accepted. Applications lacking references will not be considered. It is becoming increasingly important for applicants to have material available online to help our Grants Committee get a feel for their work. Musicians post their material, performing arts applicants post video, entrepreneurs may have web sites related to their ideas, and applicants may have Linkedin, Facebook, or other sources where they refer to their passion. Our online application platform allows applicants to save their data as entered so they can work on it up to the deadline date to complete their application. Deadlines are June 15 and November 15 each year. Uncompleted applications are removed after those dates. Critical items to gather ahead of time to be sure they can be uploaded are photos, transcripts, and contact information for their references. We require a photograph (headshot only) so that if the applicant is awarded a Grant, the photograph can be used by Hunter's Fund in press releases and publicity materials. If they are already working on a project related to their Grant request, we also encourage applicants to include photographs of that work with their Grant application. Grant winners are announced on our website on the Grant Winners page. Given the high number of applicants and our all-volunteer Grants Committee and board, applicants not selected for funding are not individually notified or offered recommendations on how to improve their future applications. However, we hope all applicants, whether selected or not, continue to find creative ways to pursue their dreams. Hunter's Fund does not make payments directly to the Grant Winners. Instead, we pay for the line items on the budget by purchasing those items for use by the Grant Winner. If they are working on their project under the supervision of a school, church, or a non-profit, we will pay the funds to that organization to be responsible for oversight of the Grant. All Grant funds must be used for the specific purposes described in the application and not be used for any other costs or expenses without prior written approval from the Hunter's Fund. If the budget needs change, the Grant winner must contact the Grants administrator with Hunter's Fund for direct approval before using funds. If Hunter's Fund determines that the recipient has not met the terms and conditions of these Grant Guidelines, Hunter's Fund may take all reasonable and appropriate steps to recover Grant funds. Once funded, projects must be completed unless our Grants Committee approves changes to the original project funded. If it is decided that the recipient has not met the terms and conditions of Grant guidelines, Hunter's Fund may take all reasonable and appropriate steps to recover Grant funds. Upon award of a Grant, qualified Mentors, if available, are assigned to each grantee. This is their principal contact to receive advice and make sure funds are distributed properly and offer opportunities for continued engagement as a Grant alumnus at the end of the project period. Grant winners are expected to submit a one to two-page report with pictures and a 1-2 minute video of their work six months after the Grant is awarded or within one month of a project's completion (whichever comes first), which should include a description of their project, how they used the funding from the awarded Grant, what effect being awarded a Grant has had on them personally, how Hunter's Fund was recognized for supporting their project, and photos from their project. Grants will agree to allow Hunter's Fund to use their full name, story, pictures, and other details for publicity purposes. We are sensitive about personal privacy and do not disclose personal contact information such as phone numbers or addresses without permission.
