BACKGROUND:
Bay Point Works' Youth Achievement and Possibilities/gap (YAP/gap) Project targets the children of low-
income, working parents who live in the unincorporated community of Bay Point in East Contra Costa County.
For the past six years, YAP/gap has assisted these families by offering a structured program of age-appropriate
educational and enrichment activities to young children during the "gap" in the school calendar between the end
of summer school and the beginning of the new school year. Two years ago we were able to strengthen our
services for low-wage, working families by expanding YAP/gap into a year-round project that provides safe
activities for children during the four major school vacations. We are continuing to refine, improve, and expand
this innovative service for low income, working Bay Point families.
The Morris Stulsaft Foundation is a private foundation dedicated to the well-being of children and youth
through the financial support of programs and services provided by nonprofit organizations; including support
of social services, education, the arts, physical and mental health, and capital development.
Grants are made to organizations that provide their programs and services without distinction as to the race,
ethnicity,religion,national origin, sex, or sexual orientation of participating children and youth.
Grants are limited to the six Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco,
San Mateo, and Santa Clara.
