Dear friends in Great Neck and beyond,
Due to the coronavirus crisis in Great Neck that’s getting dire by the day, GNCA has decided to initiate an ongoing donation drive (which will last for up to two months or longer, depending on the situation). All donations will be dedicated to purchasing personal protection equipment for local emergency responders (including police officers, firefighters, and EMS etc.). They’re facing high risk of infection in performing their critical job functions. Many of them are currently working without any protection (e.g. masks). It’s incumbent on us to show them our appreciation and support at this critical moment!
To show our appreciation, we’ll give anyone who donates $250 or above a permanent GNCA membership. Don’t forget to seek your companies’ matching gift donation for non-profit organizations, if such a program is available. GNCA’s tax ID is: 02-0548461.

Dear friends and family,

It was a difficult but necessary decision made by the GNCA Board of Directors and the show directors. The health and safety of our community always come first.
We thank all our sponsors, volunteers, teachers, performers and families for your support and dedication. In this special time, let us stay vigilant to keep our community safe. If you've recently traveled to Wuhan or other areas in China, please try your best to stay home and avoid public places for two weeks.

Mini Nonprofit Project Turns 3 Years Old / 微公益项目已经三岁了

On November 10th, 2019, the wind was chilling outside, but in the conference hall of Great Neck house, it was a scene of enthusiasm. 32 parents and children from various families participated in the 2019 annual conference held by Mini Nonprofit Project.
During the annual conference, Sarah (now a 7th grader in the Great Neck South Middle School), the founder of the micro-public welfare organization, introduced the two main projects of the organization and the annual plan for 2020.
The first project is Kiva project. Kiva is an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping poor entrepreneurs around the world access interest-free loans and start-up funds, or helping economically disadvantaged students to continue their studies. During each Kiva event, Kiva team members firstly choose a project from Kiva.org, conduct research, write an article through research, gives a speech and presents his/her research to all the team members showing everyone who they choose and would like to fund. Finally, the project team will vote for the project to be sponsored.
The second project is Kids’ Finance and Cashflow (K.F.C.) competition. This activity mainly focuses on IQ games to train elementary school students and improve their problem solving, mental math, logical thinking, and teamwork skills. In this way, the children can learn a lot, and at the same time, have a lot of fun.
