The "I Love U Guys" Foundation has changed the way schools and organizations do their business. And it's not just about safety. We're investing in programs across the spectrum of school climate, culture, response and recovery. There is certainly opportunity to underwrite an existing program. Program Underwriting is an important part of the Foundation's commitment to evaluate and evolve our materials, Initiative Research and Development is our future.

Funding a new initiative gives partners "Grandfather" status. All materials, programs, curriculum resulting from the initial Research and Development acknowledge the contribution.

We are not simply a discussion. We are a disruption.

First of all, thank you for an excellent and enjoyable day. With 40 years in law enforcement, disaster, and safety work, I have been through literally thousands of hours of in-service and CE courses over the years.  
 
Yours ranks in the top ten of any I have ever participated in. It was informative, moved fast, had good visuals, and spoke "to" the audience, and not "at" the audience.

Robert H.- Garland, Texas

Case Study

A group of Columbine survivors, now living in Utah, wanted to host an "I Love U Guys" training for the school districts their children attend. While they didn't have the funds they did have the motivation. They found a venue, promoted the event and our Mission Partnership with Raptor Technologies offset costs. As a result, Alpine School District and a number of neighboring districts implemented our programs.

Material Development

The "I Love U Guys" Foundation works with umbrella organizations and will customize our curriculum to work with their audience or membership. For instance, the Foundation has worked with school district self insurance pools in Texas, Oregon, and Colorado. We start by customizing materials to fit your audience or membership. In Texas, we included statute and how Foundation programs fit. In Oregon, appropriate policy, developed by OSBA, was included.

The Texas School Safety Center is another example where TxSSC incorporated these materials into online toolkits. Importantly, materials are also co-branded. But this is just one part of our Curriculum Adoption program. We also develop train the trainer materials.

Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success

Two Phases - Development and Training

Historically, the Foundation has worked with these umbrella organizations to both create then deliver the programs through training and outreach. Often, a second or sometimes third year of training before going to the next curriculum evolution.

Curriculum Development - Custom Training

Once curriculum is developed, the next phase is training. Both Foundation direct training and indirect training can occur.

The Motivation.

The "I Love U Guys" Foundation

Every Day

Somewhere in North America, kids, teens and adults are being trained in the Standard Response Protocol or the Standard Reunification Method.

Every Way

The Foundation works in every way to evaluate, evolve and advance the programs.

Everywhere

Whether or not an organization adopts our programs, if we ignited a conversation that's a win. You see, we think that being a catalyst is the real end game. We can change the culture and have conversations. Emily gave us a voice. And from the classroom she told us what to say. "I love you guys."

Social Enterprise

Mission Partnership with The "I Love U Guys" Foundation leverages our assets - relationships, community, brand, and expertise, to create a business value proposition. We don't go it alone. Our Mission Partners make an annual commitment, often paid monthly.

There is nothing in business today that provides as much economic and social benefit, on as many levels, to as many stakeholders, as a strategic partnership between any combination of the nonprofit, for-profit, education and government sectors when focused on the greater good.
 
Nothing else comes even close.

Bruce Burtch

Heart Check

Aligned values are the first step in walking into the Mission Partner garden. We're gonna talk.

Webinars

Mission Partners may have regular webinars as part of their outreach. A Foundation Executive can be available for 2 webinars a year.

The Briefings

Two registrations to each of our school safety symposiums, The Briefings, and a table for a marketing display.

Training Calendar

Access to our training calendar with venue and host detail.

Product Development

Often, our Mission Partners have developed a product, based or influenced, on one of our programs. We may even provide material participation in product or training design and implementation.

The Landscape Call

Once a quarter or so, one or more of the Foundation Executive team has what we call our "Landscape Conversation." A one on one exchange offering The Foundation's perspective, from the national, to sometimes the micro may provide insight on where the lay of the land is... A perspective that is occasionally hard to achieve from the commercial perspective.

Acknowledgment

As a Mission Partner, acknowledged on "10 minute break slides" within our trainings. That's about 10,000 stakeholders a year. We'll do call outs too, from within most trainings (Some sponsored trainings may be excluded.).
