Their goal is to make any disaster less severe and to improve recovery options for those who are affected.
ECA provides information and resources to help everyone who lives, works, or travels in earthquake country to prepare for disaster, to survive and most importantly return to a normal state after an emergency.
ECA selects worthy projects to fund with mini-awards that will fund resources or programs for earthquake preparedness.
CIMC applied for an ECA Emergency Water Project grant and was awarded $500.
Catalina Island Medical Center is the only source of medical services for 4,500 residents and up to 1 million visitors each year.
This grant money pays for the purchase of a hospital grade system to drain up to 400 gallons of potable water from the Medical Center’s five hot water heaters. Frequent disaster drills in coordination with local Fire and Sheriff personnel could incorporate the draining of one hot water heater to give “first responders” and hospital staff members the experience they need to access this emergency water source.
For more information on disaster or earthquake preparedness, call 310-510-0700.
Heft or Hype: How Much Do Women Leaders in Philanthropy Really Matter?
ANGLETON a Angleton ISD will be able to provide high school students with an expanded skill set to use in their future careers thanks to a $25,000 Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics grant from Educate Texas.
The school district will use the grant to enhance its STEM academy, particularly in the areas of health and computer sciences, said Angela Neal, Angleton ISDas advanced academics coordinator.
Neal said the district will use the grant money to boost the academy through professional development, equipment and curriculum.
aItas just allowed the opportunity to do that research and investigations to determine the best additions to the STEM academy,a she said.
Angleton ISD officials began the research aspects of the expansion as part of the application process and have some curriculum options they are looking to implement, Neal said.
aItas an ongoing process at this point to determine the best route for us,a she said.
Neal said the district is looking to add career accreditations, such as certified nurseas assistant and a computer science program from the University of Texas.
District officials are planning to have the additions in place by the fall, Neal said.
The Educate Texas grant creates additional opportunities for Angleton ISD students that the district might not have been able to afford otherwise, Superintendent Pat Montgomery said.
aThis is a significant amount of money for us,a she said.
School districts provide basic education for students, but grants such as this allow teachers to go beyond the primary curriculum, Montgomery said.
Current students are getting to experience more in terms of career pathways than previous generations, she said, and Angleton ISD wants them to have as many job choices as possible.
aKids today get exposed to so many more careers, so much more subject matter, and itas because of things like STEM Academy and these type of grants,a Montgomery said.

A $10 million pledge will help the University of Colorado create a new center dedicated to improving mental health services in Colorado.
The university announced Friday that the five-year commitment, one of the largest gifts ever to the university’s Anschutz Medical Campus, will finance a new National Behavioral Health Innovation Center in Aurora.
The gift came from The Anschutz Foundation and is designed to create what the university calls a “virtual center” to help people in Colorado and across the nation gain mental health training and expertise. The center does not plan to treat patients.
“We’re trying to work with existing services,” said Matt Vogl, executive director of the new center.
Part of its role, he said, will be to help businesses, schools and first responders recognize signs of mental illnesses early, when they are easiest to treat.
He likened that role to backstage workers at a theater production.
“We’re just there to get them up and running,” he said, “helping do whatever needs to be done.”
In a 2014 series, The Denver Post reported that Colorado spends relatively little for mental health services, that tens of thousands of people who need treatment get none and that prisons end up housing many people with advanced mental illnesses.
In December 2014, Colorado received a $65 million grant for mental health programs.

Rising student debt due to soaring college tuition has caused some community leaders to think outside the box when it comes to scholarship programs.
A new Reverse Scholarship Program introduced by the Community Foundation of St. A reverse scholarship is a talent-retention program that will pay students on the back end of their college career, after they have completed a degree in a STEAM-related field science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics but only if they agree to move back home and work within the county.
Eager to get started, the Community Foundation of St. Clair County, said he thinks the success of reverse scholarships will cause other states to re-invent their definitions of scholarships.
Maiers said the premise for the program came to him a couple of years ago while he was helping the Huron County Community Foundation with their strategic planning.
“A few of their donors wanted to know what community foundations could do to bring college kids back home after college,” he said.
They began working together to find the answer.
Mackenzie Price, director of the Huron County Community Foundation, started brainstorming with Maiers and their legal counsel at Clark Hill to plot out a community foundation-led effort addressing talent attraction and retention. The result is the new Reverse Scholarship Program, Maiers said.
“We anticipate that this reverse scholarship award will appeal to young college graduates in their mid- to late 20s,” he said, “who still have some student debt and are weighing their options for returning home to start a family.”
The community foundations in Huron County and St. Rising student debt due to soaring college tuition has caused some community leaders to think outside the box when it comes to scholarship programs.
A new Reverse Scholarship Program introduced by the Community Foundation of St. Phil Pavlov believes Michigan’s economy is indeed turning around; yet still, graduates are leaving for greener pastures elsewhere.
“I commend the work of our local community foundations in identifying solutions like this Reverse Scholarship Program that can help restore prosperity to our region, and I’m proud to assist the effort in Lansing with a senate resolution that lets them better engage philanthropy and attract talent at the local level,” he said in a statement.
Traditional scholarships are awarded and paid on the front end of a student’s career, with no guarantees they will complete their studies, graduate from college or, if they do, return to their communities to help contribute to its growth and prosperity.
