Carlsbad Educational Foundation DBA (if applicable) Organization Website www.Carlsbaded.org Organization Mission Statement: Please provide your organization's mission statement. If you have a GuideStar profile, you may copy and paste your organization's GuideStar mission statement or provide another version here. If you are an individual artist, use this section to give us an idea of your mission/vision as an artist. The Carlsbad Educational Foundation (CEF) provides private support (through a combination of earned income and fundraising) for public education programs in the Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD). The mission of CEF is to provide increased educational opportunities for all CUSD students by developing and funding impactful programs. CEF supports 11,000 K-12 Carlsbad students through programs in three impact areas: district-wide music, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math) and educational innovation. Project Information and Narrative Project Name:* Please provide us with the name of the arts project. High School Instrument Class Project Summary:* Please provide us with a brief summary of your project. Students from Carlsbad High School’s new Instrument Class (Available to Grades 9-12) will learn how to play four instruments: the cajón, ukulele, guitar, and piano. This class will differ from other instrumental classes offered as there is no concert component. This will allow students who may typically shy away from getting involved in performance arts because of their stage fright an opportunity to experience learning and enjoying an instrument. This class will also provide students with a new avenue to access their ability to create songs with instruments not currently offered in a music class at the high school. Students will learn all DocuSign Envelope ID: 264BA17F-7113-4ADD-BE5C-37C0998381F4 Taylor Beveridge Carlsbad Educational Foundation Printed On: 15 July 2021 Fiscal Year 2021-22: Arts Projects for Arts Organizations 3 four instruments through written form and rote instruction and will create their own songs by the end of each semester. The Instrument Class aims to not only provide access and innovational instruction to new instruments, but build confidence, inspire creativity, and provide a safe and engaging space to make music. Project Start Date:* 08/24/2021 Project End Date:* 06/09/2022 Project Details: Please provide additional details for the project such as additional dates, times and location(s) for all project events for marketing, communications and/or possible future site visits. This Instrument Class will take place at Carlsbad High School during the 2021-2022 school year over two semesters in an allotted in-class period. It will be open to 30 students its first year. We would be happy to provide photos and student quotes in sharing this program with your team. Amount Requested:* This is the amount your organization is requesting from the City of Carlsbad's Cultural Arts Grants. Please note that the maximum funding amount request is $7,500 for Arts Projects. $7,500.00 Participants:* Total number of expected participants for this project (i.e. artists, coordinators, directors.) 31 Audience:* Total number of expected audience attendance for this project. 0 Previous Project Success: If your organization has completed a similar project, please provide details of the project and why it was successful. Last year, the Carlsbad Educational Foundation in partnership with the Coastal Community Foundation granted $20,179.29 for 18 Carlsbad and Sage Creek High School teacher projects in the Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) space. Teachers were given the opportunity to submit a creative project that enhanced the student experience in their classrooms. They chose to use their grant in areas like student murals, wireless microphone systems, new Biomed and Business Class technology, theater workshops and more. This allowed teachers to be innovative and provide students with additional DocuSign Envelope ID: 264BA17F-7113-4ADD-BE5C-37C0998381F4 Taylor Beveridge Carlsbad Educational Foundation Printed On: 15 July 2021 Fiscal Year 2021-22: Arts Projects for Arts Organizations 4 learning opportunities they might have not otherwise experienced. Many of these project reports included that their additions would now remain as part of the course curriculum. Although these projects do not directly mirror the Instrument Class Project, there is a clear connection. Through this grant, teachers were able to look at their current instructional model and better the student experience by creating something that filled a gap or improved on an area that was not previously being addressed. The Instrument Class was created on these same principles. By investing in this project that provides these new instruments and method of teaching, students will be given an opportunity to experience music in a different and exciting way than what has been offered to them before. Project Distinction: What makes this project distinctive? The Instrument Class is very distinctive from the music classes that are currently offered which is what makes this such an incredible project. Carlsbad students have never had access to a music class at school that includes instruction for the cajón, ukulele, guitar, and piano. This class could significantly change the life of numerous students by offering them something that does not exist in the current instructional model and that they may not have access to otherwise. Prior to this project, student options for classes in music at school include performing in public concerts or public shows. Many students choose art classes over music classes because they fear the required performance component. This class has taken away the public performance component to appeal to a new population of students with a curiosity for learning an instrument and making music. Additionally, this project is also not a one-time opportunity for our Carlsbad student population. Although the first year of the Instrument class will accommodate 30 students, the investment required for it to exist (one-time funding for instruments) will impact countless students for years to come. Project Goals: What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals? In the first semester, students will learn three instruments (cajon, ukulele, and guitar) divided into three six-week units. They will learn the string instruments by reading chord charts. The cajon will be learned by rote and written form. By the end of each of the 6-week units, students will be able to play one instrument with proficiency and fluency and will write one of their own songs In the second semester, the students will learn to play the piano in a similar style as they learned the other instruments: a combination of chords, rote, and written note reading. By the end of 2nd semester, the students will be able to play two to three songs on the piano with proficiency and fluency and write one of their own songs. Goals will be measured by making the two-to-three song play target and composition of one song for each instrument. There will be a pre and post assessment of skills, knowledge, and confidence for every 6-week unit. Students will be regularly involved in the learning process by using the Project Tuning Protocols at the start of each unit. The Protocols help students identify unanswered questions, fears, and struggles that can be avoided during the learning process.

How will you reach them? The target population is students from Carlsbad High School (Grades 9-12). This class is tailored to reach students who: • Have an interest in learning to play new instruments but have not had access to these instruments prior to this project • Want to learn to play an instrument but have withheld learning because of performance anxiety • Lack funding to pay for private music classes but can now learn in school This class will be included in Carlsbad High School’s 2021-2022 Course Catalog available digitally and in hard copy to all students and parents in Summer 2021, prior to the start of the next school year.

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances: What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on your organization? Over many years, CEF has built diversified revenue sources that include both earned income as well as philanthropic contributions. Our largest earned income program, Kids Care, provides fee-based before and after school care for more than 850+ children at 9 elementary and middle school sites in the CUSD. Net income from Kids Care provides a significant portion of the funding we can then invest in programs and resources for Carlsbad students. Specifically, with the base of funds provided by earned income programming prior to COVID-19, CEF was able to direct 100% of the grants raised through foundation and corporate support to the various programs we know make a difference in the lives of our students. Due to this past year’s school closures and the subsequent closure of KidsCare, COVID-19 has had a significant financial impact on CEF. Our ability to raise contributed income was also impacted. All three fundraising events; Annual Golf Tournament, Celebrate Carlsbad Day at Legoland, and Spin for Schools were cancelled due to the pandemic. We have also experienced loyal funding sources understandably re-allocating their giving to address COVID-19 initiatives. Given declines in both donations and earned income, grants from donors like the City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office are even more important to ensure we can continue to fund programs for Carlsbad students as doors are now reopen.
