The Morris Stulsaft Foundation

Support Services for Homeless and Foster Care Youth (September Docket)
The Foundation funds support services for young persons (ages 5-16) who are homeless, in shelters, in transitional housing, or in foster care, to assist in bringing stability into their lives and to foster their development of trusting and healthy relationships. The Foundation prioritizes programs that provide safe and supportive physical and emotional environments.
- Application deadline is June 14, 2010
Preparing Disadvantaged Youth for Independent Futures (December Docket)
The Foundation funds programs that develop potential in young persons (age 16-24) by exposing them to meaningful experiences in the workplace and by assisting them in finding suitable work placements. We fund programs that teach soft skills that assist youth in getting and keeping employment, helping to insure their independent futures. We support programs that target youth from low-income backgrounds, with a priority given to transition-age foster youth, and youth who are homeless or are at-risk of becoming homeless.
- Application deadline is September 15, 2010
Setting the Stage for Education (March Docket)
The Foundation funds infant, toddler and pre-school programs for children (birth to age 5) that demonstrate a commitment to quality early childhood development through smart program design, excellent facilities, qualified staff (who are supported by professional development opportunities), and that serve a majority of children from low-income backgrounds. The Foundation will fund professional development opportunities and, on occasion, the enhancement of facilities.
- Application deadline is December 15, 2010
Participation in the Arts (May Docket)
The Foundation funds programs that offer opportunities for young people (age 5-18) to actively participate in the arts. We fund programs that seek to open new dimensions for young people that motivate them to learn and to develop lifelong interest in the arts. We are especially interested in programs that cooperate closely with public schools and that align with the California State Board of Education Standards for Visual and Performing Art (http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/vp).
- Application deadline is March 28, 2011
