Contribute to Believe in Me by making an individual donation. The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving. —Albert Einstein Individual Donations That Make You Feel Good What are Individual Donations? Individual donations are smaller one-time or recurring donations made online or offline from an individual or household. Most individual donations are made in conjunction with an event, such as a birthday, anniversary, or holiday. Individual donations are tax-deductible and the average donation size is $435 per year. You can help raise funds for Believe in Me through the collective efforts of your social network, which includes friends, family, customers, and individual investors. It’s as easy as selecting your crowdfunding channel, choosing Believe in Me for your nonprofit, setting a fundraising goal, and encouraging your friends to give. What are Individual Donations?

Thank You To Our Many Generous Supporters The work of The Foundation depends on the commitment and generosity of private philanthropy. We gratefully want to acknowledge the individuals, corporations, and foundations who continue to help make The Foundation work possible. Our volunteers, donors, and partners are helping to fund children’s charities that provide marginalized kids with a safe place to call home, a family that loves them, a feeling of community, and opportunities to learn, build self-esteem, and have fun.

Tony Cannon Susan Kirkeby Carol Kowzau Lee Strobridge Jame & Bernice Adams Dr. Robert Adams & Florence Adams Virginia Arnoux Henry G. Arnoux Mary Goolie (Monthly Donation) Frank Goolie, Ed, Alberta, David Mauro & Jeanette Charlotte Worthy Richard Worthy Karin Engström´s tribute donation in memory of her aunt Sonya contributes to our mission to one day live in a world where every kid develops the self-coincidence they need to succeed. We remember Sonya for her grateful heart, her genuine interest in and concern for others, and her positive attitude even in the face of difficulties. We also remember Sonya for her memories and the stories she shared, and we will now live on with questions we would have liked to ask her as she recalled so much about family and community. Talking with her friends and family after her death - the consistency of how she treated people is evident. The same words permeate all memories - supportive, interested, inspiring, encouraging, accepting, and sweet. Sonya sought to understand the reasoning, and preferences and gained interest herself. She believed in everyone. Donor Spotlight Karin Engström Non-Cash Donations Gifts from donors can come in many different forms. In-kind gifts are donations of goods, services, or time, in lieu of cash. In-kind gifts can be both tangible and intangible. Non-cash gifts are an important source of the Morning Star Foundation’s revenue, especially during times of economic downturn. In-kind donations are also a good way to cultivate support and build capacity for the Foundation while freeing up our cash for other operating expenses. Volunteers If Shalini were a superhero, her power would be to grant happiness to everyone. She certainly is our Happiness Hero with her abilities and talents with Salesforce. She is working her way to becoming a master on the platform and wants to become a Salesforce technical architect.

Donor Spotlight John Powers lll We are thrilled to spotlight one of our generous donors, John Powers III. As the son of one of our board members and a successful commercial real estate agent at NAI Black, John is a shining example of someone who uses their success to give back to their community. John believes in creating opportunities through hard work and research and utilizes his confidence and abilities to develop a strong network of satisfied customers and clients. Before joining NAI Black, he worked for several Seattle and Puget Sound-based companies where he specialized in retail leasing and restaurant business, including a commercial real estate company he co-founded in Bellevue, WA. At that company, he was the Marketing Manager and Director of restaurant sales. He was responsible for taking the company from a small office start-up to being recognized as one of Washington's industry leaders in restaurant sales. Despite his impressive professional accomplishments, what truly sets John apart is his big heart and commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. We are grateful for John's support and generosity. He is a shining example of how we can all make a difference in the world by using our talents and resources to support causes close to our hearts. Thank you, John, for being a part of the Believe in Me family and for your commitment to creating a brighter future for marginalized youth. Volunteers Julia Parmann was more than just a volunteer; she was a vibrant and passionate person who left a lasting impact on those around her. As a Believe in Me volunteer, we were very saddened to learn that she passed away shortly after our 2022 golf tournament, but her legacy lives on through her work with the Blazen Divaz. She deeply loved parades and had been involved in them since she was a child. She continued to work on choreography and details of the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association's Lighting Ceremony Parade until the day she passed away.

What You Can Expect from the Granting Committee The Morning Star Foundation is tasked with the stewardship and sustainability of the Foundation’s assets to support administration of grant funding to the programs that carry out our mission. Our Grants Administration Committee meets all throughout the year to streamline the granting cycle process, review applications for eligibility, and award grants to the nonprofits that solve the problems we care about the most. The granting committee intermittently reviews the progress of each program and reports the impact they are having back to our donors. A special meeting is held during the month of June to review the Foundation’s financial performance and determine the amount that will be available for granting throughout the next cycle. The funds available for granting varies from year to year and may be limited during times of economic downturn and organizational restructuring. For this reason, the Foundation does not provide grant funding to cover administrative costs and payroll related expenses.

Yes - as cited in our eligibility section on our webpage, our scholarships are for individuals attending school in Washington State, Northern Idaho and Oregon. What is Believe in Me’s definition of education-bound individuals who can apply for this scholarship? As cited in our eligibility section on our webpage, our scholarships are for first-generation post-secondary education-seeking students who are pursuing an education at a two-year college, four-year college or university, independent private career school, or trade school. What defines a first-generation college student? Being a first-generation college student typically means your parents did not complete a 2-year or 4-year college or university degree. This definition focuses on your parents' education level and varies across different colleges and universities. If your parents completed some college courses, you may still be considered first-gen in certain institutions. For accurate information, consult campus resources like admissions or academic advising. Note that the education of other family members, such as siblings, doesn't affect this status, but they can be helpful resources in your college journey. How will I know when my recommendations have been completed? Once they’ve submitted a recommendation, you should receive an email confirmation from admin@believeinme.org . *Prior to submitting your application, we recommend that you check your references to ensure they are able to submit a recommendation for you before the deadline. Please take extra care when entering your references’ contact information as you will not be able to edit the form once it has been submitted. If you do discover an error in their email address, please contact our office to have it corrected. Do I have to fill out a FAFSA to apply for a scholarship? You will not need to have your FAFSA completed in order to qualify, apply, or be awarded a scholarship from Believe in Me. However, we advise checking with your counselor and reviewing the requirements listed at your educational institute of choice, as there may be specific requirements surrounding the completion of your FAFSA. Can I still get scholarships if I took a break from school? Yes. While some scholarships are only available to high school seniors or incoming college freshmen, our program is open to anyone seeking higher education, regardless of age or time off. We will, however, be prioritizing youth and young adults who meet our eligibility requirements. Can I still apply for other scholarships if I apply for this scholarship? There is no limit. Scholarships are awarded independently, so applying for multiple does not decrease your chance for any individual scholarship. You can be awarded more than one scholarship. My immigration/citizenship status is complicated. Can I get a scholarship? Yes, but it depends on your specific status. Undocumented and DACA students who have a valid Washington or Idaho state-issued I.D. are eligible to apply for our program. Do I have to pay for scholarships? Is there a fee required to submit? No. Like all legitimate and credible scholarship programs, our scholarship application process is free! Can I reuse past letters of recommendation for this scholarship? Unfortunately, we do not accept pre-written letters of recommendation. Our program requires all references to fill out an online form unique to our application. It contains specific questions they will need to respond to that will provide us exactly the information our Scholarship Committee is looking for. The good news is that these questions are straightforward and easily accessible so your reference will not need to spend a lot of time rewriting a new letter of recommendation. Note: if you have received a recommendation from the same reference before, you are allowed to use them again for this application. Just be sure to let them know they will be asked to fill out the form in lieu of providing us with a letter. What are my chances of getting awarded a Believe in Me scholarship? There are a number of things you can do to improve your chances of gaining a scholarship. When applying for scholarships, you should make sure to include all the documentation requested and dedicate plenty of time to writing your application. In particular, it’s important to clearly communicate your motivations for studying and how gaining a scholarship will support your ambitions. Stay within the deadlines and, most importantly, show the scholarship providers you have the potential to do great things! How do I receive my scholarship funds?

We believe in wraparound services that use teamwork and coordinated resources to provide healing for marginalized kids. Wraparound Services A Feeling of Community Why Kids Need Wraparound Services Children are our future. They are our hope for a better tomorrow. But too often, kids grow up in difficult circumstances that hinder their ability to reach their full potential. That's where wraparound services can make a difference. Wraparound services provide comprehensive support for kids and families, addressing a wide range of needs - from housing and food insecurity to mental health and substance abuse. By working with families to identify and address the unique challenges they're facing, wraparound services can help kids overcome obstacles and succeed in life. And that benefits us all. Meeting the Unique Needs of Each Child Wraparound services provide a comprehensive approach to care, addressing the physical, mental, and emotional needs of marginalized children and their families. They may include health care, mental health services, social services, and educational support. Wraparound services are designed to meet the unique needs of each child and family, and they can make a tremendous difference in the lives of those who receive them. Here is a listing of the types of wraparound service programs Believe in Me supports. Providing a Feeling of Community Children who are marginalized often have multiple and complex needs that can be difficult to address. These children often fall through the cracks because their needs are too great for any one service provider to handle. Believe in Me funds wraparound service programs that provide coordinated support, resources, and a feeling of community for marginalized kids. With your help, we can give these kids the chance they deserve to heal and thrive. Your Donation Can Make A Difference The children of today face extraordinary challenges, but they are never alone. They deserve our love and acceptance too, and your donations make this possible! With your support, organizations and individuals from all walks of life work tirelessly to help these kids feel like part of something--a community where their uniqueness is celebrated rather than tolerated or rejected because it's different.
