GARY CARES

 Shock & Awe is the youth philanthropy arm of Gary Cares area foundation

       As of 2018, the Dekko Foundation has turned all authority of it's youth philanthropy groups over to the Area Foundations who have been managing their funds. In this case, Gary Cares is 100% responsible for Shock & Awe, while continuing to partner with the Dekko Foundation and other youth philanthropy groups (PODS) for wisdom, support, finances and events.

 THE GRANT PROCESS: The students receive the grant requests from Norman County entities. If an award is given, Gary Cares administers the funds. The Gary Cares board has two members on the Shock & Awe leadership team which attend the meetings. If there is a question on a particular grant, the board reviews it. Shock & Awe youth philanthropy group, funds, grants and focus reviewed during regular board meetings. Grants are allocated throughout the school year until the funds are depleted.
