NYEF would like to invite you to be a sponsor for the 2025 Gardiner Brewfest. We are honored to be the non-profit at this year's event. NYEF has a lofty goal, and that’s where you can help. NYEF will use these funds to bring a licensed therapist to Gardiner School and Arrowhead during the 2025-2026 school year. Why is this important? In 2024, a statewide survey was conducted among students in 8th, 10th, and 12th grades. When asked about depressive symptoms, 60% of students from Gardiner reported experiencing these symptoms, which is significantly higher than the average for the rest of Park County and the state, where the figure was 46%. Furthermore, 93% of Gardiner students reported experiencing moderate depressive symptoms in the past year, compared to 74% statewide. Gardiner has nearly double the state average for attempted suicides. I understand that this information may be shocking, as discussing these issues openly can be difficult for students and families. How can you help? By stepping up as a sponsor for this year's Brewfest, you will be supporting Gardiner and Arrowhead Schools’ ability to provide an on-site therapist. Rural Resilience, we will oversee this important position, and NYEF will ensure that the therapist has housing here in Gardiner. While we recognize that these sponsorship levels are slightly higher than in previous years, I trust that you understand the significance behind this change. For five years, we’ve been fortunate to have a Rural Resilience behavioralist in our school who focuses on classroom dynamics and peer interactions. She empowers students through one-on-one coaching and small group sessions, equipping them with essential skills to enhance their behavior and foster a positive learning environment. However, the data clearly shows that more help is needed. Rural Resilience and NYEF believe this position will be a game changer for our youth and their families. Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to your support.

This workshop is intended to provide a quick and dirty overview of everything involved with writing grants. By taking a “a birds eye view” approach — touching on everything from dreaming up your big project to clicking “submit” on your final report — our goal is to demystify the grant writing process. By the end of this short workshop, Nico will empower you to speak passionately about your organization, compile meticulous attachments, and craft persuasive arguments for your projects such that funders will have no choice but to say yes.
