July 2009: Award of $1,500 to MyEmergencyContactInfo.org:
Dublin Foundation Backs Emergency Contact Information Drive
In Ohio, a new program has been put into action that involves collecting contact information from citizens to be stored in a database for emergency personnel use in the event of an accident. Having this next of kin data readily available, should you or a loved one be victim to an accident, can increase the efficiency of contacting family members. Ohio is the first state to create and implement such a program for its citizens. Contact data can be entered at www.myemergencycontactinfo.org or at any Ohio Deputy Registrar’s location. 

For the MyEmergencyContactInfo.org organization, the boost of professionalism for their image was made possible with the support of the Dublin Foundation. The donation allowed them to create banners, literature and a table top display to be used at local health fairs, churches, school events, and other community events.  Through their increasing presence in the Dublin community and their unwavering compassion for promoting their cause, they were invited to attend other events and continue to uphold their foundation.   

April 2009: Award for $2,354 to Forty Plus of Central Ohio:
Dublin Foundation Advances Career Search for Forty Plus
Forty Plus of Central Ohio is a non-profit organization that works to assist community members in job searches and career opportunities. The organization is made up of a relentless group of volunteers and professionals who donate their time and knowledge to helping people find jobs. With state of the current job market, they have experienced a wave of new members seeking assistance. In order to serve the community with the consistency they are known for, they needed to update their software, computers and other equipment. Efficiency is important for the organization to remain effective, so they requested the assistance of the Dublin Foundation to help them achieve their goal. 
The increase in productivity and the use of new equipment has helped them provide information, training and job-search knowledge for many community members. By providing citizens of the community with the tools to find employment, Forty Plus has helped the city of Dublin remain economically strong.

December 2008: Donation in the amount of $2,200 to Leadership Dublin:
Dublin Foundation Upgrades Leadership Dublin
Leadership Dublin has worked hard to train and develop leaders throughout the community since 1995. They have organized committees, associations and various other organizations based on their mission, which is to be the primary resource to empower people to better the community. They have also encouraged community members to keep Dublin clean, which prompted their annual Leadership Dublin Community Service Day, on which volunteers donate their time and energy to cleaning up Dublin’s neighborhoods.

With the advancements of volunteers, organizations, and supported causes, Leadership Dublin sought to advance their technology to remain efficient in their endeavors. Upgrading their office equipment and technological instruments, with funding from the Dublin Foundation and others, allowed them to stay ahead of the curve and continue charging forward with their efforts.

December 2005: $2,500 award to Fairy Godmothers:
Dublin Foundation Promotes Fairy Godmothers
For several years, the Dublin community has been fortunate to have many organizations that support youth self-esteem, such as Fairy Godmothers, a non-profit public charity. Their main mission is to collect and provide new or gently used formal gowns to junior and senior high school girls before prom. They take great pleasure in helping these girls attend prom, where they can build social skills and lasting memories. This simple gesture of adding joy to the girls’ faces on their prom night is something the Dublin Foundation is grateful to support.

December 2004: Donation $5,000 for Dublin Leadership Program:
Dublin Foundation Backs Youth Leadership
Dublin sixth graders were targeted for a new addition to Leadership Dublin. The new plan, entitled “Leadership Dublin: The Next Generation,” aimed to develop good decision-making skills and leadership potential in Dublin area youth. Leadership Dublin hoped to gain interest and involvement from the community. Topics such as respect, responsibility and fairness were discussed during six sessions in the spring of 2004.

Leadership Dublin’s goal was to start the program with sixth graders at one Dublin middle school, and expand the program the following year into three schools. This was achieved with the help of the Dublin Foundation, and more community youth learned valuable life lessons to help them grow both mentally and educationally.

December 2003: Donation made $2,000 for Dublin High School Staff Leadership:
Support of Staff Leadership from Dublin Foundation
With the addition of Dublin Jerome High School to the school district in the fall of 2004, preparations for the new students began early. To open the new school successfully, the newly hired staff needed to be trained on safety, culture and providing a safe learning environment. Creating a place for new faculty members to get to know each other and feel welcome was also important for the high school’s implementation. Building this team before the school opened was integral to ensuring that the school delivered a consistent message to students.

Thanks to the combined efforts and support of the Challenge Leadership Organization and the Dublin Foundation, Dublin Jerome High School was able to create a positive learning environment for everyone involved. Some of the topics covered involved risk-taking, problem-solving and shared leadership skills. These topics armed the staff members with the tools they needed to smoothly implement curriculum to the student body.

The Dublin Foundation’s grant to Leadership Dublin was extremely helpful to our program. It allowed us to up-grade our computer equipment, without having to raise our tuition for either our adult or youth programs. As a result of no increase, we were able to recruit our largest adult class in many years and our largest youth class ever! We will always be indebted to the Dublin Foundation for their timely and gracious assistance.
