About This Project

WHY WE EXIST:


One of the problems in the world is that some communities don't have enough after-school programs that keep youth off the streets and out of a lifestyle of gangs, violence, drug abuse, etc. Furthermore, in many low-income communities, the high school dropout
rates are exponentially high and there aren't enough community programs for youth to escape these undeniable truths.



The Hip Hop School of Arts
in Pomona, California was founded to change these statistics.  HHSA is an non-profit organization that exists in order to help kids see their true potential and to transform their creative energies into something positive through education, guidance and
self-expression using positive Hip Hop Culture. However, we cannot do this alone.  We need the support of those who are passionate about impacting the youth in this community and are willing to help be a part of change.  As a non-profit organization, we thrive
off the support of community partners, donors, volunteers, friends and family who understand the need and are willing to donate their time and their money.





WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP:



The Hip Hop School of Arts has serviced youth in the city of Pomona for 2 years. And sadly, our funding has run out.  We need your help to keep our doors open and to continue servicing the youth in our community. Your contributions will go towards paying for
the Rent we owe the landlord for the building and our Utility Bills.

$150,000 Tipping Point Goal




WHAT HAPPENS IF WE REACH OUR TIPPING POINT?


If we reach our Tipping Point of $150,000:


* $50,000 will go into paying Rent that is already passed due


* $60,000 will go into paying Rent for the next 6 months


* $6,500 will go into paying Utilities that are already passed due (Electricity, Water, Sewer, Phone)


* $15,000 will go into paying Utilities for the next 6 months (Electricity, Water, Sewer, Phone)


* $14,000 will go into continuing our School Programs


* $1,000 will go into paying for our Alarm System


* $2,000 will go into paying for our Accountant


* 1,500 will go towards hiring a Grant Writer





HOW WILL WE MAINTAIN ONCE OUR TIPPING POINT IS REACHED?


Reaching our Tipping Point means we will be able to start our next big project, which is our 2015 Summer Camp Program. This Summer Camp will generate funds to help us continue our programs.  For each child, the registration fee is $300 for 3 whole weeks
of The HHSA Summer Camp. Our goal is to have a total of 700 kids registered for Summer Camp attending either Sessions 1, 2 and 3.. 4, 5 and 6 or 7, 8 and 9.  If we reach our goal, we could potentially raise about $200,000 during the summer.


Furthermore, we are creating a business plan that includes renting out our rooms in our facility to organizations or individuals and working with our hired Grant Writers will submit applications to foundations that will help us acquire funding. Through this
process, we strive to build relationships with these foundations for the purpose of longevity.




OUR ULTIMATE GOAL



If we reach our Ultimate Goal of $300,000:


* $111,300 will go into paying Rent for 12 months


* $38,000 will go into paying Utilities for 12 months


* $82,700 will go into paying for our School Programming


* $6,000 will go into paying for our Alarm System


* $6,000 wil go into paying our Accountant


* $6,000 will go into paying our Grant Writer
