SUNNYVALE COMMUNITY SERVICES
Sunnyvale Community Services (SCS) is designated as the Emergency Assistance Network agency (EAN) for all zip codes in Sunnyvale, CA. As the safety net agency in our community, SCS addresses immediate critical needs to help families and seniors stay housed with food on the table and utilities turned on as they work toward self-sufficiency. We serve every eligible client who comes to us for help, never turning anyone away due to lack of resources - even though that has become increasingly challenging with the rapidly growing need for our help. Our clients are Sunnyvale residents and homeless families. Last year we served over 6,800 individuals, disbursing nearly $800,000 in financial aid. Families receiving financial aid received a personalized 3-month budget to help them get back on track. As one of the largest partners of Second Harvest Food Bank, we engage over 1,000 volunteers help to distribute 850 tons of nutritious food and fresh produce annually. In the last three years, SCS has built a strong foundation in comprehensive case management for homeless individuals as well as seniors and families in crisis. We have collaborated on new health and wellness programs to support healthy nutrition and financial education and credit repair to help clients become self-sufficient. In 2015, we launched our Supportive Services for Veterans Families, funded by the U.S. Veterans Administration to assist veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to move into stable housing.

GUTTMACHER INSTITUTE INC
Now in its fifth decade, the Guttmacher Institute remains committed to the mission and goals that led to its creation. The Guttmacher Institute was founded in 1968 as the Center for Family Planning Program Development. At the time, Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon had begun to call the public's attention to the problem of unplanned and unwanted childbearing and its consequences for individual women and men, their children and their communities both at home and abroad. Concurrently, the United States Congress was taking its first steps toward the development of an international population assistance program, as well as a multifaceted, national program aimed at providing equitable access to modern methods of birth control in the United States. By integrating nonpartisan social science research, policy analysis and public education, the Center hoped to provide a factual basis for the development of sound governmental policies and for public consideration of the sensitive issues involved in the promotion of reproductive health and rights. This purpose and commitment continue today. The Center was originally housed within the corporate structure of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). Its program, however, was independently developed and overseen by a National Advisory Council separate from the PPFA Board of Directors. Its early development was nurtured by Alan F. Guttmacher, an eminent obstetrician-gynecologist, teacher and writer who was PPFA's president for more than a decade until his death in 1974. The Center was renamed in Dr. Guttmacher's memory, and the Guttmacher Institute incorporated as an entirely independent nonprofit policy research institute with its own Board in 1977. The Guttmacher Institute maintains offices in New York and Washington. Its current staff of 81 comprises demographers, social scientists, public policy analysts, editors, writers, communications specialists, and financial and technical personnel. A few of its employees have been with the organization for most of its existence, and an affiliation that goes back 10 or 15 years is not unusual. The Institute's work is guided by a 39-member board made up of eminent professionals from a rich variety of disciplines, as well as civic leaders from across the United States and around the world. The Guttmacher Institute's annual budget of approximately $17 million is derived largely from private foundations, government agencies, multilateral organizations and individual contributions.

Pilot Light Foundation
We see a world where no one is forced to suffer the hardships and humiliation of extreme poverty, where each person has opportunities to improve the quality of their life through entrepreneurship or agriculture or whatever business they are able to do. Roughly 422 million people live in extreme poverty in Africa, that is one in three people. The World Bank defines “extreme poverty” as living on $1.25 or less a day. Pilot Light has been working for 12 years with people living in extreme poverty in Africa to help them improve their lives through creating a sustainable, livable income.
