V. Proiect Description /Need Statement
The purpose of the requested funds it to create an original visual and auditory art exhibit called,
"Children Are a Work of Art." The object of the photos is to include 25 San Bernardino children that participate
in a variety of programs hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino ( BGCSB). Each pictorial will include an
auditory short (two -to -three minutes) story told in the actual subjects (a child's) voice of an experience or
challenge that helped that child find empowerment, stability, growth, and added to their overall well- being. The
importance of this exhibit is to participate in visual arts as a communication tool to inform and build awareness
of the critical need for mentoring children in San Bernardino, also, to demonstrate in a moving and educational
way that show how every child has a story to tell, and that each child is an independent work of art.
The BGCSB is marginalized when it comes to funding opportunities (simply by location); available
funding for arts is limited and the need for arts in San Bernardino is great; especially arts that comprehensively
engage our youth. This proposed exhibit would include all the children at the BGCSB (a first -hand learning
experience), while representing their peer groups (within San Bernardino). Furthermore, the exhibit will give our
children a face and a voice to be seen and heard, and engage the BGCSB children in the process of the creation
of the exhibit to a variety of degrees. The resulting impression of this exhibit is that it will educate and influence
an entire community to see the youth in San Bernardino as worthy of great programs, mentoring, and structure
that they thirst for in their lives. Additionally, the number of impressions by exhibit viewership will be endless as
it tours to other cities, states, and museums.
The BGCSB believes this project will be the most important, educational, personal, and profound
engagement into the arts that San Bernardino could ever offer to youth. We can't do this without the assistance
of the Fine Arts Commission. This grant will change the lives of how people see the children internally and
externally in San Bernardino as a strength: moving forward to become the next generation of worthy, strong
leaders in our community; and possibly the next Ansel Adams.
About our project partnerships: the BGCSB has collected two letters of support for the award of this
grant from local respected venue, Andreson Building willing to host the opening of the Exhibit. Additionally,
from Santa Claus, Inc., a collaborating respected nonprofit that is providing donated time and grant preparation.
Santa Claus, Inc provides services of basic needs to the same youth demographic that BGCSB serves. We have
the support of more than one SBUSD Board Members and have included one letter of support from the
honorable Dr. Margaret Hill, a board Member of SBUSD. It takes collaborations and partnerships like this to
make things happen in San Bernardino. We are up to the task of bringing this project to fruition.

XI. Future Objectives
The BGCSB is exceedingly happy to present this in concept as we believe it meets with the focus of the
intent of the grant to increase arts throughout San Bernardino. In the future, this exhibit will enable
the BGCSB to take the Art Commissions original requested investment, and create a generous
sustainable revenue stream that will be used to support additional art programs, projects, and services
of interest to our youth in variety of area, which includes but is not limited to, music, dance, painting,
and performing arts. BGCSB has a dance studio, music and recording studio, and sparse art supplies for
painting and such. The issue is reliable revenue to hire staff skilled in these areas to bring our youth to
life through various create expression. What we are asking for is the seed money to create this life -long
arts program to be funding via our proposed professional visual art exhibit.
XII. Provide a brief history /background of your organization /school protect (s). (What you have done
before in this category of the arts.
The Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino ( BGCSB) is part of a nationwide affiliation of local, autonomous
organizations that work to help young people of all economic and social backgrounds develop the character
qualities they need to become responsible and productive citizens and leaders.
In a word that seems threatening and devoid of promise for many of America's children, especially those from
the inner cities, BGCSB provides a tangible measure of hope and safety, serving hundreds of local youth. The
Club provides young people what they need and want most: adults who respect and listen to them, a safe
environment where they can have fun and be themselves, and interesting, constructive activities that channel
youthful energy into challenging pursuits. All BGCSB programs are based on youth development strategies that
build self - confidence, self - esteem and foster a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence.
For 50 years, BGCSB has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from
disadvantaged economic, social and family circumstances. Our organization is dedicated to ensuring that our
community's disadvantaged youth have greater access to quality educational enhancement, life skills,
Performing and Fine Arts, as well as other enriching programs and services that will enhance their lives and
0
shape their futures.
In recent years, our Club has expanded tremendously. With the extension of club hours, and the development of
new programs and services, BGCSB continues to provide worthwhile opportunities and enjoyment for children
and their families. Our members and their families benefit from trained, caring, professional staff and
volunteers who help young people take control of their lives, envision productive futures, and provide support in
achieving their goals.

Independent Auditor's Report
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino (a nonprofit
organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2015, and the related statements of
activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial
statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino as of June 30. 2015. and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
The Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino (the "Club ") is a California nonprofit
Organization. The Club is a member of the National Boys and Girls Club of
America. The mission of the Club is to enable all young people, especially those
who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and
responsible citizens. The Club accomplishes this mission by providing services
and programs including personal and educational development, juvenile
delinquency prevention, gang violence prevention, youth and family
empowerment and sports. The Club is funded primarily by grants and
contributions.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Club prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which involves the application of accrual accounting;
consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and
losses are recognized when incurred.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Club reports information regarding its financial position and activities
according to three classes of net assets; unrestricted net assets, temporarily
restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions received are recorded as increases in unrestricted, temporarily
restricted, or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the existence and/or
nature of any donor restrictions.
Contributions that are restricted by donors are reported as increases in unrestricted
net assets if the restrictions expire in the reporting period in which the
contributions are recognized. All other donor - restricted contributions are reported
as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the
nature of the restrictions. When restrictions expire (that is, when a stipulated time
restriction ends or purpose restricted is accomplished), temporarily restricted net
assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of
activities as net assets released from restrictions.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (Continued)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles included the use of estimates that affect the financial
statements. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of $500 and expenditures that
materially prolong the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Property and
equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or fair market value at the date of gift if
donated to the Club. Depreciation is calculated using the straight -line method over
3 to 15 years.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Club considers all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
INCOME TAXES
The Club is exempt from Federal and State income taxes as a California non-
profit Corporation under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and
Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Management has
considered its tax positions and believes that all of the tax positions taken by the
organization in its federal and state tax returns are more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination. The Organization's tax returns are subject to
examination by federal taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date
they are filed and for a period of four years for California taxing authorities.
FUNCTIONAL ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES
The costs of providing the Club's various programs and activities have been
summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Accordingly,
certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services
benefited.

The Club expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through July 7, 2016, which is the
date the financial statements were issued.

Re: Exhibit Collaboration with the BGCSB February 1, 2017
Dear Arts Commission of San Bernardino,
Santa Claus, Inc. (SCI) has been serving approximately 100,000 at risk youth annually for
65 years. The Boys and Girls Club of San Bernardino (BGCSB) provides services to the same youth
demographics as SCI and therefore, we feel compelled and honored to collaborate on this project
to provide any consulting, professional services, and support we can offer.
The BGCSB plays an intricate role in creating barriers against bad influences encountered
by undermining social and economic factors. Using art as a channel is a unique way of allowing
our children to engage in the arts as a means of communicating the daily challenges they face,
overcoming those challenges through real life experiences, and increasing their self- esteem
through empowerment through arts.
Santa Claus, Inc. provides our highest recommendations to the Art Commission to see
how important this project is to our children and our City of San Bernardino. The images that will
be captured of our children coupled with their stories of overcoming social expectations is
powerful. Santa Claus, Inc. knows that our children are the future of the City of San Bernardino.
Instilling a love and understanding of how art speaks to those who view an exhibit and can
alleviate misunderstanding and open the minds of the community is a priceless lifelong gift.
Thank you for considering this art exhibit as a primary example of teaching our kids that
they themselves are a human works of art that are valued.
Sincerely,
Tracylyn Sharrit,
Santa Claus, Inc.
