2010 Non Profit Organizations:
3rd Quarter: 18 Principles http://www.18principles.org/
18 Principles is a non-profit organization that provides education and training to children, adults and corporations on dealing with adversity, problem solving, friendship, suicide prevention, and other life issues. 18 Principles provides a framework for dealing with adversity, problem solving, friendship, suicide prevention, and other life issues. They educate, inform about making wise choices, taking personal responsibility and accountability, and how to look at problems from different perspectives. 18 Principles currently focuses on teenagers (12-18) who are in school and aiding their parents in the relationships with their children.
4th Quarter: The Mankind Project (InnerGold, Inc.) http://colorado.mkp.org/
The mission is to awaken integrity, accountability and responsibility in men, and to connect them with their birthright (often lost or discarded) of Strength, Courage, Generosity and Wisdom. Our vehicle for this is a rigorous 3-day training we call the New Warrior Training Adventure. It’s an initiatory experience for men to start live consciously, and to live in service. We support the initial learning with several months of follow-up training, and (most importantly!) a close-knit Community of men who support, nurture and challenge each other to stay true to our Mission.
1st Quarter: Table Mountain Animal Center Foundation http://www.tablemountainanimals.org/
The new shelter will never turn an animal away. The Foothills Animal Shelter is under construction Colorado Mills Mall and the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. The facility will be an approximately 30,000 square foot single story building. Estimated completion of the project is Fall 2010. The Cedar4Mayor.com campaign is raising $25,000+ for the Table Mountain Animal Center’s new facility.
2nd Quarter: Children's Global Peace Project http://www.cgpp.org/
Children's Global Peace Project (CGPP) is a non-profit organization that empowers children worldwide to transform their challenging emotions and conflicts into healthy self expression and peaceful co-creation. We primarily work with elementary-school children and teachers, and help middle and high-school youth find their own creative paths to promote peace in their communities and the world.
