Programs C.A.P. Funding helps full-time low income working single parents to provide their children with a safe, educationally enriched after-school environment. C.A.P. Funding increases student performance, decrease juvenile crime rates, and save taxpayers money. The C.A.P. Funding Program prepares these children for a brighter future, allowing them to experience and grow up in a supervised, structured, and disciplined after school environment. C.A.P. Funding helps to build self-confidence and motivation in single-parent children, enabling them to succeed in higher education. We fund single-parent children to attend after-school programs and school break camps. Children and parents will be notified of our program through notices posted in school yearbooks, school bulletins, school newsletters & newspapers, flyers displayed in after-school facilities (YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, etc.), notices in brochures sent out by various after-school organizations, Internet postings on various websites relating to single parents/children’s activities, and selected mailings. The programs the children will be attending may be local government sponsored activities, 501 C Corporation (non-profit organization) activities or licensed privately sponsored activities. For example: Recreation and Parks Department: After-school and camp programs (local government) STAR Education: After-school and camp programs (501c – Non-Profit Organization) Community Sports Center: After-School sports activities (local government) Music classes and lessons for talented students (privately sponsored) The purpose of Children’s After-School Programs, Inc. (“C.A.P.”) is to raise funds in order to provide scholarships to in-need children of low income working single parents for after-school educational and recreational programs, school-break and summer camps so that these children will not be excluded from important after-school activities. Funding will be distributed directly to the after-school program entities upon approval of the applications submitted by the parent. The scholarship program is for a one-year period per accepted child of in-need single working parents. At the end of the one-year period, applicants must reapply and resubmit all required documentation. The beneficiaries of our Scholarship Program will be very carefully selected after a review of applications, interviews, and background reviews. There are approximately 17,000,000 single parents in the United States. Our primary goal has been to fund Los Angeles County children of low income working single parents who lack the financial means to support costly after-school programs and summer camps. We will also focus on after-school programs for Southern California starting in 2005.
