Tikkun Olam\u00a0<\/strong>– Organized by Glenna Gray as a day of healing for the earth on Saturday, March 8, 2014. Tikkun Olam is a Hebrew phrase that means “repairing the world” which suggests humanity’s shared responsibility to heal, repair and transform our planet.

\"One<\/a>

One Night in FrogTown – 20012-14<\/p><\/div>\n

One Night in Frogtown<\/strong><\/a>, a multi-media live professional stage show that highlights cultural diversity, was written and produced in Tillamook County by locals Phil Pelletier and Heather Christie. They do benefits nationally, involving children from each community they perform in. They have also produced a book with a CD. Fulcrum is currently a fiscal sponsor for grants to continue their education programming. They are in the process of applying for their 501c3 status.<\/p>\n

May 2014: Oregon Community Foundation gave Fulcrum\/Frogtown a grant for $15,000.\u00a0 June 2014: Frogtown is moving forward in partnership withNorthwest Health\u00a0 Foundation and will no longer need Fulcrum assistance.<\/p>\n

\"nbevolunteer\"<\/a>
\nNehalem Bay Emergency Volunteer Corps<\/a><\/strong> – It turns out that Emergency Planning is a marvelous community building tool. Neighbors in Manzanita, Neah-kah-nie, Nehalem, Wheeler and surrounding areas joined together to provide local residents, businesses and visitors with the necessary tools and information to be prepared in the event of an emergency here on the Coast. Fulcrum was proud to sponsor their project while they obtained their own tax exempt status. They now have a preparedness program that is the envy of many communities along the coast and even nationally.<\/p>\n

\"sealevel\"<\/a>
\nSea Level Gallery <\/strong>– This cooperative gallery of local artists sold $200,000 worth of art from its opening in Spring, 2006 to its closing in the Fall of 2010. Affected by economic hard times, Fulcrum helped it weather the Winter of 2009-10 by sponsoring a fundraising letter, a fundraising multi-musician event, and a series of grant proposals. This was a project that spoke to our interest in local economic development that includes a positive climate for earning one’s livelihood through creativity. Unfortunately the gallery closed after the Summer of 2010.<\/p>\n

\"ncrd\"<\/a>
\nFriends of NCRD<\/a><\/strong> – The North County Recreation District is a Special District of the State of Oregon with a tax base. However, when it was struggling with budget shortfalls and a subsequent organizational restructuring in 2008, a group of community members decided to set up a “friends” organization that could become a 501c3 and accept donations on behalf of the center, including for capital improvements. Fulcrum sponsored Friends of NCRD while they worked to obtain tax exempt status. They are now functioning on their own.<\/p>\n

\"mfm\"<\/a>
\nManzanita Farmers Market<\/a><\/strong> – Local growers and craftspeople have been putting out their wares for several years at this very successful market. Fulcrum helped sponsor a membership and fundraising drive in 2009 because the program fosters important local economic development as well as food sustainability.<\/p>\n

\"NeahcasaProject_sm\"<\/a>NeahCasa <\/strong><\/a>was a project of Fulcrum that obtained its 501c3 tax exempt status and went on its own as of January 2008. From 2005 until 2011, NeahCasa actively raised the issue of housing affordablity in our local communities. The group held a Tillamook County Housing Summit in the Spring of 2006 and government\/public policy outreach continues. Between 2007 and 2011, NeahCasa’s Student Family Housing <\/a>program raised and donated over $34,000 directly to 96 families with housing issues to help 309 children stay in the NeahKahNie School District. This highly successful program was taken over by CARE<\/a> in Tillamook in 2011. Although the Board is only meeting annually at present, NeahCasa is structured as a Community Land Trust (CLT) continues to hold a vision for eventually developing a property with homes that would be affordable in perpetuity.<\/p>\n

\"HealingArtsGuild_sm\"<\/a>Nehalem Bay Healing Arts Guild <\/strong>– Fulcrum (as NBCCI<\/a>) sponsored grant requests for this group of local alternative healing practitioners to put out a cooperative brochure and coordinate a second annual Healing Arts Faire in September 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
