| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| In 2015, Gratitude Initiative (GI) had an extremely successful year in furthering its mission and accomplishing its long-term objectives. As part of its objective of raising awareness about the needs of military and veteran children, GI held targeted campaigns in January in partnership with elected officials within the Texas State House and Senate. January 27th was named Gratitude Initiative/GI Kids Day in the state of Texas. Over eighty military families from all over the state joined elected officials and GI staff members at the state capital for special events to include recognition on the floors of both houses, special tours for the children, and lunch at the capital. GI held many informational events during the Month of the Military Child (April) focused on raising awareness for our military children. GI launched its education programs a year ahead of schedule and began enrolling students into its College Success Academy and online tutoring programs in November providing support to students of active military and veteran families throughout the United States. GI continued establishing formal relationships with veteran service organizations, military family readiness organizations, and other non-profits to build channels of communication for reaching students and families who could benefit from GIs impactful programs. | $46,135 | - |
