IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0ULTIMATE BLOCK PARTY, INC. IS SUPPORTED BY A MIX OF PHILANTHROPIC GRANTS, DONATIONS, AND EARNED REVENUE THROUGH CONSULTING. SOME OF OUR SUPPORT FROM PHILANTHROPIC GRANTS COMES IN THE FORM OF SUBCONTRACTS FROM COMMUNITYBASED ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE THE PRIMARY GRANT RECIPIENTS. ULTIMATE BLOCK PARTY, INC., DOING BUSINESS AS PLAYFUL LEARNING LANDSCAPES ACTION NETWORK (PLLAN), FOSTERS THE CREATION OF PLAYFUL LEARNING INFRASTRUCTURE AND ACTIVITIES IN THE EVERYDAY SPACES WHERE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES GATHER. BY INFUSING OUR CITIES WITH PLAYFUL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, WE CAN IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL EQUITY AND ENHANCE CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, BETTER PREPARING THEM FOR SUCCESS IN THE 21ST-CENTURY. IT IS CLEAR THAT CHILDREN'S EARLY EXPERIENCES PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT FOUNDATION FOR LEARNING AND LATER MILESTONES, INCLUDING SCHOOL READINESS, THIRD GRADE READING, AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. ALTHOUGH HIGH-QUALITY EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS ARE A CRITICAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE, CHILDREN IN THE US SPEND ONLY 20% OF THEIR TIME IN FORMAL LEARNING SETTINGS. PLLAN SEEKS TO CAPITALIZE ON THE OTHER 80% OF CHILDREN'S TIME BY CREATING PLAYFUL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVE AND PLAY. PLLAN WORKS WITH COMMUNITIES TO TRANSFORM SPACES LIKE CORNER LOTS, LAUNDROMATS, AND BUS STOPS INTO PLAYFUL LEARNING INSTALLATIONS THAT ARE BASED ON THE LATEST SCIENCE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT. IN THIS WAY, PLLAN HARNESSES THE RICH CAPACITIES OF COMMUNITIES TO GIVE ALL CHILDREN THE BEST START IN LIFE. IN RECENT YEARS, PLLAN HAS WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES TO CREATE MORE THAN 70 PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE PLAYFUL LEARNING INSTALLATIONS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AROUND THE US AND INTERNATIONALLY. WE CONSERVATIVELY ESTIMATE THAT INSTALLATIONS RECEIVE AN AVERAGE OF 1,000 FAMILIES VISITING PER YEAR, CREATING AN OVERALL REACH OF 70,000 FAMILIES PER YEAR. IN ADDITION TO REACH, MORE THAN TWO DOZEN SCIENTIFIC STUDIES HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAYFUL LEARNING LANDSCAPES, SHOWING MORE THAN A 40% INCREASE IN CAREGIVER-CHILD INTERACTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION AND SUPPORTING CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. PLLAN APPLIES FOR GRANTS INDIVIDUALLY AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THESE FUNDS SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND EVALUATION OF PLAYFUL LEARNING INSTALLATIONS. IN ADDITION, PLLAN HAS VARIOUS CONTRACTS WITH ARCHITECTS AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES FOR PROJECTS. INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS ARE SOLICITED ON OUR WEBSITE AND THROUGH QUARTERLY NEWSLETTERS. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS A CORNERSTONE OF PLLAN'S WORK AND PROCESS FOR CREATING PLAYFUL LEARNING LANDSCAPES. EVERY PLAYFUL LEARNING INSTALLATION IS THE RESULT OF A CO-DESIGN PROCESS WITH COMMUNITIES. THIS PROCESS YIELDS DESIGNS THAT ARE CREATED BY THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND REFLECT EACH COMMUNITY'S UNIQUE CHARACTER. THIS PROCESS ALSO SERVES AS CAPACITY-BUILDING FOR COMMUNITIES AS THEY GET ACCESS TO PLLAN TOOLS, TRAININGS, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. AS A RESULT, PLLAN HAS CULTIVATED DEEP RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US AND INTERNATIONALLY. AT THE CORE OF PLLAN'S WORK IS THE BELIEF THAT COMMUNITIES HAVE A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES THAT CAN BE HARNESSED TO PROVIDE ALL CHILDREN - PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN UNDER-INVESTED COMMUNITIES - OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH-QUALITY PLAYFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES. PLLAN USES A ROBUST PROCESS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT CENTERS THE COMMUNITY AT EACH STAGE OF THE PROJECT. THIS PROCESS AIMS TO UNCOVER THE LEARNING GOALS, VALUES, AND CULTURE THAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IN PLAYFUL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN. PLLAN USES AN ITERATIVE CYCLE TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND DESIGNERS TO CREATE AND ADAPT PLAYFUL LEARNING INSTALLATIONS THAT ARE UNIQUELY RESPONSIVE TO EACH COMMUNITY. COMMUNITIES ARE ALSO PART OF THE EVALUATION PROCESS, HELPING TO DESIGN AND COLLECT DATA FROM THE INSTALLATION.
