Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The problem for our underserved youths today is fighting fear and uncertainty. Families often struggle to earn enough money to afford housing and are in some cases dependent on governmental assistance. Diversity in our inner cites presents comminication challenges which in turn, presents difficulties for youths to create positive associations. Arts Education presents a positive alternative choice for communication as music is a universal language. No matter where you were born or what language you speak fluently, the Arts can provide you with skills and self-confidence presenting unique communication that is lasting. Our foundation addresses the danger of trunency and potential incarceration when youths are limited in finding or participating with positive alternatives due to language or financial barriers.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Billy Daniels Foundation supports Arts Educational programs that are exclusively dedicated to providing underserved youths with after school and in school support programming. After school Arts education participation is often unaffordable to underserved families when fees are associated with Arts Education programs and equipment such as; Drill, Band, Dance, Visual & Theater Arts: instruments, equipment, and Supplies. Our foundation aims to prevent underserved youths from becoming victims of negative delinquency behavior and the possibility of becoming Truant due to insufficient financial support causing a lack of participation in educational programs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We create fundraising events and social media campaigns to raise awareness to this vital mission
Our Board of Directors are constantly updated donor contacts and attending Arts Education events in an effort to increase funding support for our students in need,
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our four-year relationship with Los Angeles Unified School District/Beyond the Bell Branch Extended Learning and Enrichment programs ensures us that our funds are being utilized by the intended underserved youth students. Our foundation raises funding through individual private grants and single donors of whom support our mission.
All of our Board Members are professionals in associated fields relating to Arts Education, Education, Psychology, and Philanthropy.
We all of us are passionate about our mission and the students that we serve to protect.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
With the collaborative assistance and support of the LASUD/Beyond the Bell Branch, The foundation's financial support helps to fill a tremendous void in arts education left by budget cuts in public school funding.
Together we have realized a significant increase in in-school and after-school participation and attendance due in part to our Arts Education programming support.
We believe strongly in the power of Arts Education to encourage imaginative thinking, creatively, a positive self-image, and respect for one's own and others' cultural heritage.
Our Foundation is committed to our mission and will not rest until we have ample financial support for every underserved student seeking our support and leadership.
