Healthy Schools Network, Inc. is a 501 c3 national environmental health organization that does research, information, education, coalition-building, and advocacy to ensure that every child has a healthy learning environment that is clean and in good repair. Founded in 1995,we have documented and publicized school environmental problems; shaped and won new education, health, and environmental policies; fostered dozens of local and state policy groups; won systemic federal and state reforms; and helped thousands of parents and schools make classrooms and buildings healthier through our EPA award-winning Healthy Schools/Healthy Kids Clearinghouse (Information and Referral Services). Major efforts include: building the platform and the forum for school environments through the collaborative Coalition for Healthier Schools which we founded and convene with more than 400 local, state, and national partners; leading National Healthy Schools Day; offering steady assistance through the Clearinghouse's publications and referrals; and refining our model New York Program. Throughout, we are focused on: 1) High Performance School Design/Construction consistent with children's needs for healthy environments; 2) Greening Existing Schools; and 3) Environmental Public Health for Children who are disproportionately affected by environmental exposures.

At Community Engagement, we believe that supporting artists and community-engaged art projects is critical to fostering a vibrant, more connected society. Since the inception of our non-profit organization in 2015, Community Engagement has awarded $772,402 in grants to artists and creatives, and $460,942 in grants for community programming. Our programs have positively impacted more than 14,000 individuals in eight low-income areas in three states. In 2019, we were awarded the “Outstanding Contribution to the Arts” by the City of Santa Ana, California in recognition of our efforts. Our primary initiatives include: • Artists and Creatives Grants - provides financial support to those making or presenting creative work relating to or encouraging community engagement. • Creatives-in-Residence Program - broadens the traditional definition of community building and artist residencies. • Akumal Festival Arts and Culture Residency - sends artists to the annual Akumal Arts Festival in Mexico to paint murals, lead workshops, and engage with the local community. Your donations make these initiatives possible. We prioritize funding and supporting work by those who historically have had less access to arts funding – every dollar you give makes a difference.
