MONAE Scholarship fund

Our Mission

The MONAE Foundation has been formed to assist and support students who desire a secondary education plan upon graduating high school. It is the belief of MONAE that students desiring to attend college deserve to do so and we too desire to help so students can reach their full potential and goals. In doing so, MONAE believes thus helping students with their future endeavors, they will in return be productive citizens who may also have the desire to help others in their future – thus giving back to society.

MONAE is the Spirit of Philanthropy, proudly supporting Feed the Children Foundation, CASA Foundation and our own MONAE Scholarship Fund, ultimately helping many people from all walks of life Live a better life in through the Spirit of Charity.

About Feed The Children

Organization Website: www.FeedtheChildren.org

Our Mission

Feed The Children is a Christian, international, nonprofit relief organization with headquarters in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty, or natural disaster.

What We Do

During our 30‐year history, Feed The Children has grown into one of the world's largest private organizations dedicated to helping hungry and hurting people. Last year, Feed The Children shipped 135 million pounds of food and other essentials to children and families in all 50 states and in 32 foreign countries, supplementing almost 800,000 meals a day worldwide. Since our founding in 1979 by Larry and Frances Jones, Feed The Children has reached out to help children and families in 118 countries around the globe.

U.S. Programs

The heart of Feed The Children's U.S. program is distributing food to families in need. To do this, we work closely with caring corporate partners that donate surplus food and other supplies, as well as with individual donors who help defray the cost of transporting the product donations.

Feed The Children's wholly‐owned subsidiary, FTC Transportation, Inc., picks up in‐kind contributions from corporate warehouses and brings them to one of six Feed The Children regional distribution centers. Some of the donations are then distributed in bulk and others are processed into individual relief boxes.

The supplies and boxes are then delivered to pre‐approved, independent partner agencies that, in turn, distribute the supplies through our extensive network of feeding centers, homeless shelters, churches and various other organizations located in communities across the U.S. Individuals and groups can also sponsor a food distribution, during which boxes are given directly to families in need.

While much of our work focuses on hungry children, we also understand the importance of feeding a child's mind. For this reason, Feed The Children launched a new education initiative named H.E.L.P., or the Homeless Education and Literacy Program. Through H.E.L.P., Feed The Children works with the Homeless Outreach Coordinators in elementary and middle schools to provide essential school supplies, books, food and personal care items to homeless students.

Through the generosity of committed partners, Feed The Children delivers much needed necessities to children and their families every day. As always, Feed The Children provides help to those in need absolutely free of charge. Find out how you can take a stand against hunger in the U.S.

International Outreach

Feed The Children's international programs focus on providing food, medical assistance, emergency relief, and creating sustainable development.

Since 1979, we have provided food, clothing, medical assistance, and educational opportunities to those in need in more than 118 nations around the world. Through schools, orphanages and church‐related programs, Feed The Children touches the lives of millions of children. We also provide assistance to orphanages, schools, and other charitable groups in these regions.

A key goal is to help families in need move past needing help and into becoming self‐sufficient members of their community. Through long‐term, self‐help development programs funded by grants and individual donors, thousands of families in countries around the world have increased their ability to be self‐sufficient by learning and applying new, marketable skills.

About CASA

Court Appointed Special Advocates

National Website: www.NationalCASA.org

Daron Nunn founder of MONAE and MONAE.com, having personal experience in the foster care system as a young child, plays an integral role in CASA as a Director and Board member in Kern County, California. (http://www.kerncasa.org/)

Today, approximately 780,000 children in the US are caught up in the court and child welfare maze because they are unable to live safely at home. Imagine what it would be like to lose your parents, not because of something you did, but because they can’t—or won’t—take care of you. Now, into these children’s lives come dozens of strangers: police, foster parents, therapists, social workers, judges, lawyers, and more. Hopefully, one of these strangers is a CASA volunteer.

CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They stay with each case until it is closed, and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence—the one adult who cares only for them.

Last year, more than 68,000 CASA volunteers served more than 240,000 abused and neglected children through 1,018 program offices. CASA volunteers have helped more than two million abused children since the first program was established in 1977.
