H. COWELL FOUNDATION IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA BY PROVIDING SUPPORT THAT STRENGTHENS THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.WE ARE A GRANTMAKING PHILANTHROPY THAT INVESTS IN COMMUNITIES WHOSE RESIDENTS AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS ARE COMMITTED TO ACHIEVING LASTING, POSITIVE CHANGE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING IN POVERTY. WE FUND MAINLY 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES LOCATED IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.WE FUND SOLUTIONS AND INVEST IN THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONAL AND COMMUNITY GOALS. BECAUSE WE ARE INTERESTED IN TOUCHING THE LIVES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON MULTIPLE LEVELS, WE INVEST IN PROJECTS, PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT IMPACT THE FOLLOWING AREAS: 1. FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS AND OTHER COMMUNITY BUILDING EFFORTS PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN BRINGING TOGETHER OPPORTUNITIES, RESOURCES AND SERVICES THAT EMPOWER RESIDENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR WELL-BEING. COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE EARLY LITERACY, PARENT EDUCATION, FAMILY ECONOMIC SUCCESS AND HEALTH AND WELLNESS ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR VISION OF HOW TO SUPPORT STRONG FAMILIES. WE INVEST IN THESE STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT FAMILIES IN RAISING CHILDREN WHO ARE READY TO LEARN AND THRIVE AND TO ULTIMATELY ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO BECOME CATALYSTS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.2. EDUCATION. WE SUSTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT STRIVE FOR IMPROVEMENT IN LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE WHILE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE NEEDS, ASPIRATIONS AND HUMANITY OF EACH STUDENT. WE SUPPORT WORK THAT'S ALIGNED WITH THE STANDARDS AND GOALS SET BY THE STATE; BUT, MORE FUNDAMENTALLY, WE INVEST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS THAT FOSTER TEAMWORK, ADAPTATION AND GROWTH AMONG ALL THEIR MEMBERS, INCLUDING TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND DEEP CONTENT KNOWLEDGE IN THE CORE ACADEMIC SUBJECTS ARE ALL EMBRACED WITHIN OUR VISION OF EQUITABLE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT. 3. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS UNLOCK THE PROMISE THAT IS INHERENT IN ALL YOUTH BY EQUIPPING THEM WITH THE SKILLS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. WE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE SAFE PLACES FOR YOUTH TO EXPLORE THEIR INTERESTS AND ASPIRATIONS, DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS, BUILD CONFIDENCE AND RESILIENCE, AND SOLIDIFY A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.COWELL ALSO AWARDS GRANTS TO SUPPORT:LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS KEY TO BUILDING RESILIENT LEADERS WHO CAN SHAPE AND GUIDE THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES. THESE INVESTMENTS OFTEN SUPPLEMENT OPERATING AND PROGRAM GRANTS AND ARE CRITICAL TO BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF LEADERS AND SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONS.SELECT OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER COMMUNITY ASSETS THAT FALL OUTSIDE OUR PRIMARY INVESTMENT PRIORITIES. WE DO NOT FUND INDIVIDUALS, PARTISAN OR RELIGIOUS PROJECTS.THE FOUNDATION'S PRIMARY GRANTMAKING STRATEGY IS PLACE-BASED. THIS MEANS THAT WE SEEK OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE CLUSTERS OF GRANTS IN THE SAME COMMUNITIES, SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES. NO TWO OF THESE PLACES ARE ALIKE. THEY MAY BE URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS, RURAL TOWNS OR UNINCORPORATED AREAS. OUR GOAL IS, OVER TIME, TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND YOUTH. THE WAY TO LASTING COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT IS COMPLICATED, REQUIRING MANY STEPS OVER A LONG TIME. IT'S ALSO COMPLEX, IN THE SENSE THAT THE WHOLE SEQUENCE AND ARRANGEMENT OF STEPS CAN'T POSSIBLY BE PLANNED IN ADVANCE. CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE, AND EACH STEP INFLUENCES THE NEXT. SUCCESS REQUIRES ATTENTIVENESS, ADJUSTMENT AND COLLABORATION. OUR STRATEGY IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THESE ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS. WE RESPOND FIRST AND FOREMOST TO THE ASSETS AND CULTURE OF THE COMMUNITY. THEN WE SEEK WAYS TO BUILD ON THE INSIGHTS, RESOURCES AND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT ARE GENERATED THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF OUR GRANTEES.TO THAT END, COMMUNITIES MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA TO BE CONSIDERED FOR FUNDING: -THE COMMUNITY IS LOCATED IN NORTHERN OR CENTRAL CALIFORNIA (DEFINED AS ALL AREAS NORTH OF MONTEREY, KINGS, TULARE AND INYO COUNTIES, AND INCLUDING THOSE COUNTIES). -THE COMMUNITY IS EXPERIENCING ACUTE AND WIDESPREAD POVERTY, AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED-PRICE SCHOOL MEALS. -THE COMMUNITY HAS A STRONG "SENSE OF PLACE" THAT ARISES FROM FACTORS SUCH AS LOCATION, HISTORY AND THE SHARED GOALS AND DEEP-ROOTED RELATIONSHIPS AMONG RESIDENTS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND EDUCATORS. -THE COMMUNITY PRESENTS OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVESTMENT IN OUR MAIN PROGRAM AREAS: FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, EDUCATION AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. -EDUCATORS AND PUBLIC AND NON-PROFIT SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE PRODUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS AND ENGAGE RESIDENTS WITH A SPIRIT OF INCLUSION AND INTERDEPENDENCE.-LOCAL LEADERS DEMONSTRATE COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE BY CHAMPIONING ISSUES AND EFFORTS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THEIR OWN ROLES AND AGENCIES.IN ADDITION TO DIRECT PLACE-BASED GRANTS, COWELL AWARDS RESOURCE CAPACITY-BUILDING GRANTS TO ADVANCE OUR MAIN PROGRAM FIELDS. THESE GRANTS ENHANCE THE RESOURCES, PRACTICES AND COHESIVENESS OF A FIELD OVERALL AND ARE DESIGNED TO BENEFIT GRANTEES ENGAGED IN PLACE-BASED WORK, AMONG OTHERS. WE RARELY MAKE RESOURCE CAPACITY-BUILDING GRANTS IN RESPONSE TO UNSOLICITED INQUIRIES. NONETHELESS, WE RECOMMEND THAT PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS CONTACT THE FOUNDATION TO DESCRIBE YOUR WORK AND EXPLORE THE FIT WITH COWELL'S INTERESTS. WHILE FUNDING INQUIRIES ARE WELCOME YEAR-ROUND, COWELL HAS A STRUCTURED PROCESS FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING PROSPECTS AND PROPOSALS: 1. MAKE SURE YOUR COMMUNITY IS ALIGNED WITH COWELL'S STRATEGY AND CRITERIA AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. 2. CALL THE FOUNDATION. BEFORE SENDING A LETTER OR PROPOSAL TO THE FOUNDATION, CALL OUR OFFICE AT 415.397.0285 AND TALK WITH A PROGRAM ASSISTANT. IN ADDITION TO DESCRIBING YOUR ORGANIZATION AND ITS WORK, BE PREPARED TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMMUNITY AND POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR COWELL TO INVEST IN ALL THREE OF ITS PROGRAM AREAS: STRENGTHENING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, EDUCATION AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. AFTER THIS CALL YOU WILL BE ADVISED ABOUT NEXT STEPS. 3. IF YOUR WORK MEETS THE CRITERIA, YOU WILL BE INVITED TO SEND US A LETTER OF INTRODUCTION TO YOUR COMMUNITY. IN RESPONSE TO THE LETTER, WE MAY DECIDE TO VISIT. WE WILL ASK FOR A TOUR OF YOUR COMMUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE PLACES IN WHICH RESIDENTS LIVE, LEARN, WORK AND ACCESS RESOURCES. WE WILL ALSO ASK TO HEAR FROM OTHER LEADERS ABOUT HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER AND WHERE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COWELL TO INVEST IN EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES, EDUCATION AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. 4. IF YOUR WORK ALIGNS WITH THE FOUNDATION'S PRIORITIES, YOU WILL BE INVITED TO SUBMIT A REQUEST THROUGH OUR ONLINE PORTAL. IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING A LINK TO THE PORTAL, YOU WILL BE ADVISED OF WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE REQUEST.WE BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN YOUR COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW WHAT PROGRAMS, PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES WILL IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR YOUR YOUTH AND FAMILIES, AND YOU KNOW HOW BEST TO MAXIMIZE AND ACTIVATE YOUR COMMUNITY'S DISTINCTIVE ASSETS. IF YOUR APPROACH TO COMMUNITY CHANGE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:-BRINGING TOGETHER KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS WHO COLLECTIVELY HAVE THE SKILLS NEEDED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. -INITIATING AND FOSTERING PRODUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS. -ACTIVATING THE STRONG SENSE OF PLACE AND COMMUNITY THAT EXISTS AMONG RESIDENTS. -READINESS AND CAPACITY TO EXECUTE A WORK PLAN.-COMMITMENT TO BEST PRACTICES.-OPENNESS TO SHARING THE LESSONS LEARNED WITH PEERS AND OTHER LEADERS IN YOUR FIELD.IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS FOR AN INITIAL INQUIRY TO RESULT IN AN INVITATION TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL, AND IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR AS MUCH AS A YEAR TO PASS UNTIL A FIRST GRANT IS APPROVED BY OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. OUR PROGRAM OFFICERS TYPICALLY WORK WITH AN APPLICANT ORGANIZATION THROUGH MULTIPLE DRAFTS IN AN EFFORT TO CREATE A SOUND PROJECT PLAN AND GRANT PROPOSAL. HOWEVER, THE PROPOSAL PROCESS IS USUALLY SHORTER FOR CURRENT GRANTEES SEEKING RENEWED SUPPORT. EACH INQUIRY AND PROPOSAL IS HANDLED PERSONALLY BY ONE PROGRAM OFFICER, BUT THE ENTIRE STAFF TEAM WORKS TOGETHER TO ASSESS A COMMUNITY'S FIT WITH COWELL'S GRANTMAKING STRATEGY. IN RESPONSE TO A PROMISING INQUIRY FROM AN ORGANIZATION IN A COMMUNITY THAT'S NEW TO COWELL, OUR STAFF VISITS AS A TEAM. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS INTENSIVE, EARLY ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY LEADS TO A MUTUALLY BETTER-INFORMED AND MORE COOPERATIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP OVER TIME. WHEN A PROGRAM OFFICER FINALLY RECOMMENDS A PROPOSAL TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, ANOTHER ROUND OF CRITICAL THINKING OCCURS. OUR BOARD REVIEWS EACH PROPOSAL WITH CARE. NOT EVERY PROPOSAL IS APPROVED, BUT THOSE THAT ARE FUNDED HAVE OUR FULL UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT. ONCE A GRANT-FUNDED PROJECT IS BEGUN, THE PROGRAM OFFICER REMAINS INVOLVED AS A THOUGHT-PARTNER AND ALLY. WE REGULARLY VISIT OUR GRANTEES AND CLOSELY REVIEW THEIR PROGRESS REPORTS. WE CONSIDER PROPOSALS FOR RENEWED FUNDING ONLY IF GRANTEES ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARD MUTUALLY AGREED-UPON OBJECTIVES. IN THE CASE OF A MULTI-YEAR GRANT, THE RELEASE OF PAYMENTS DEPENDS ON EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS. IF OBJECTIVES ARE NOT BEING MET, GRANTS MAY BE CANCELLED.OUR DECISION TO INVEST IN A COMMUNITY REPRESENTS A MUTUAL COMMITMENT AURELIUS CAPITAL INTL, LTD FMV 5023275 5023275 ACACIA CONSERVATION FD FMV 6436962 6436962 CENTERBRIDGE CR PTNRS FMV 1032746 1032746 ETON PARK OVERSEAS FUND FMV 7684 7684 GENERATION IM GLOBAL EQUITIES FMV 18094421 18094421 STEADFAST INTERNATIONAL, LTD FMV 6097090 6097090 FORTRESS CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES FUND II (B) L.P.
