“A Timeless Tradition, Transformed: Lighting Upgrades for The Nutcracker”

Ballet Pensacola is Northwest Florida's only resident professional ballet company and academy, serving over 20,000 individuals annually through high-quality performances, dance education, and community outreach. We are seeking funding to support the revitalization of lighting for our annual production of The Nutcracker, a cherished holiday tradition that unites audiences from diverse backgrounds across Escambia, Santa Rosa, and surrounding counties. This project will replace outdated lighting with modern, energy-efficient technology that enhances visual storytelling, improves accessibility, and ensures the production's longevity for future generations. By enriching a widely attended, culturally significant event, the project fosters community pride, artistic inspiration, and a welcoming environment for all. It directly supports Sunday's Child's mission to promote equality and inspire inclusion by investing in initiatives that celebrate diversity and expand access to shared experiences.

Taking place at the historic Saenger Theatre in downtown Pensacola, the project involves replacing outdated fixtures with energy-efficient ETC Color Source Lights, new 36-degree lenses, and a data node to improve precision and control. Sunday's Child grant funds will support the purchase of key lighting components, with remaining costs covered by additional funding. The project will be completed by November 15, 2026, in time for the holiday performances. Sunday's Child will be recognized in all Nutcracker marketing materials, programs, press releases, and social media, and acknowledged from the stage during performances. This visible recognition highlights the organization's commitment to inclusive community investment and cultural enrichment.

Held at Life Horse at Grand Review Farm in Milton, Florida, the program offers weekly sessions focused on emotional regulation, self-confidence, and social connection through horseback activities and peer support. Funds from Sunday's Child will be used to purchase adaptive riding equipment, sensory tools, provide specialized LGBTQ+ and trauma-informed staff training, and offer scholarships to ensure accessibility for underserved participants. The project will run for 12 months, with ongoing evaluation to measure impact and effectiveness. Sunday's Child will be prominently recognized through branded program materials, social media campaigns, community events, and acknowledgment on Life Horse's website and podcast, celebrating their vital role in promoting equality, inclusion, and wellness in the community.

Lutheran Services Florida

“Nurturing Safe Spaces for Youth”

Organizational Overview:

LSF touches the lives of 1 in 50 vulnerable Floridians every year through programs in early childhood education, child welfare services, foster care/adoption, behavioral health/substance use treatment, temporary emergency shelter, and trauma-informed care for at-risk youth and their families. These programs result in safety for children, help youth overcome trauma, and provide support for adults. LSF operates 9 at-risk youth shelters and accompanying non-residential community counseling programs across the state and provided 750 youth with refuge and trauma-informed care last year. The Currie House shelter in Escambia/Santa Rosa offers no-cost services to approximately 120 youth each year, ages 10–17, providing shelter for up to 21 days along with food, clothing, and counseling. Using evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care, these programs improve mental and behavioral health, strengthen decision-making skills, and enhance social-emotional learning, while reducing the negative impacts youth have suffered due to complex trauma.

Project Summary and Recognition of Sunday’s Child:

Nurturing Safe Spaces for Youth is geared toward creating a positive environment within Currie House by replacing old, worn out furniture, and purchasing more durable and modern items to help us provide activities where youth would be in a more comfortable setting promoting normalcy. The funds will be spent on living room items, such as couches/sofas for youth recreation, mentorship meetings, and group discussions. Funding would also be used for a dining room set that would enable youth a comfortable place to sit between meals and studying/tutoring sessions. The bedrooms also require updating so funds will enable the purchase of mattresses, bed frames, sheets, and relevant items to make the space comfortable for youth. If awarded, we anticipate the purchase within one to three months as we determine vendors and actual cost. We will work with Sunday's Child to recognize them on our website, newsletters, and materials within the shelter.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion:

A disproportionate number of homeless youth identify as LGBTQIA2+, often due to family tension, abuse, and/or the emotional challenges that accompany discrimination, stigma, and identity-related conflict. LSF is committed to maintaining safe, dignified spaces for at-risk youth to find refuge and trauma-informed care. This project will replace outdated, institutionalized furniture with comfortable, youth-friendly decor that creates a home-like atmosphere and promotes emotional recovery. Creating an environment where all youth feel valued, heard, and respected, directly aligns with the Sunday's Child mission of promoting equality and inspiring inclusion throughout the Pensacola Bay area.

Community Impact:

Our target population is underage youth impacted by homelessness, with complex issues from violence, substance misuse/mental health human trafficking, and negative interactions with authority. The grant would enable our staff to provide a more comfortable space, with updated furniture to create a sense of normalcy and better supports for youth who face harsher realities and unique hardships in juvenile justice systems. We believe healing begins with a positive environment, and a safe space that is warm and inviting before equally positive interaction can take place. The grant provides an opportunity to create long-term, lasting impact for the population we serve.

309 Punk Project

“Lifting Up Access to the Arts”

Organizational Overview:

309 Punk Project serves our community as a gathering place and an arts and culture hub that has been lifting up access to the arts since our founding as an organization in 2016. The historic home known as "309" houses a vibrant artist-in-residence program and archive. We have hosted 43 artists -- regional, national, and international creatives practicing in all disciplines. Locals and visitors alike turn out to experience their unconventional work and are inspired and enriched by what they encounter: critically engaged photography, painting, sculpture, music, poetry, and performance. 309 is significant not just because it's a striking home in the historic Old East Hill neighborhood and a cornerstone of Pensacola's art and music scene. 309 is also a safe, welcoming space when those spaces are increasingly hard to find, especially for young people, LGBTQ+ folks, people of color, and others searching for a place where they fit in.

Project Summary and Recognition of Sunday’s Child:

The "Lifting Up Access to the Arts" project advances equity and inclusion by installing a platform lift at the 309 house in order to make this space accessible to anyone with mobility issues. Funds will be spent on the purchase and placement of the platform lift next to the porch along with a concrete pad, electrical connection to power the lift, and modifications to the entryway of the house. Construction is slated to begin in early December and be completed by February 2026.

Sunday's Child will be recognized with a sign on the gate in front of the lift, in our outreach to prospective artists, and on promotional materials. Additionally, we will hold a ribbon-cutting event in March 2026 to celebrate the lift completion. The event will spotlight Sunday's Child s the donor that made accessibility, equity, and inclusion a reality with this gift.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion:

309 Punk Project promotes diversity and equity and inspires inclusion by fostering a kaleidoscopic artistic community where people can be their authentic selves. We support and advocate for artists who are underrepresented in traditional spaces, and we preserve untold histories. Our mission and activities clearly align with Sunday's Child's mission and vision. This project, in particular, is all about inclusion, providing a place for people who sometimes feel they don't fit in anywhere. By making our building accessible to folks with mobility issues, we're making sure that every person is valued and that no one is left out.

Community Impact:

This grant will have a tangible impact on our organization and our community by paying for a platform lift that will immediately make our arts and culture space accessible to anyone with mobility issues. Nearly 1,000 people visited 309 in 2024. We recognize the need for independent organizations like us to hold space for marginalized communities no matter what and to expand that space wherever possible. Our community includes all types of people with all types of bodies, including people using a wheelchair. With the lift in place, we can be even more the accepting, inclusive organization we strive for.

Stamped LGBTQ Film Festival

“Emma Jones: Preserving Our Past and Inspiring Our Future”

Organizational Overview:

Stamped Film Festival is Pensacola's LGBTQIA+ film festival, showcasing diverse queer cinema from filmmakers around the world. We host an annual multi-day festival featuring screenings, discussions, and community events that transform Pensacola into a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ stories. Beyond our signature festival, we conduct year-round outreach through educational programs, community partnerships, and advocacy initiatives. Our work serves the local LGBTQ+ community by providing representation and visibility, while educating broader audiences about queer experiences. We benefit LGBTQ+ adults, youth, families, allies, and visitors by fostering dialogue, building acceptance, and creating safe spaces for authentic storytelling in Northwest Florida.

Project Summary and Recognition of Sunday’s Child:

Stamped Film Festival will produce a 10-15 miute documentary short showcasing the history of LGBTQIA+ resilience and advocacy in Pensacola by sharing the story of the Emma Jones Society—an organization that began as a P.O. Box under the fictional name "Emma Jones" that allowed members of the local queer community to receive LGBTQ+ publications that were deemed obscene by larger society. The documentary will capture the Emma Jones Society's lasting cultural and economic impact on Pensacola's LGBTQIA+ community—evident today in Memorial Day Weekend celebrations—while preserving this endangered history for future generations. Production will take place in Pensacola with interviews, archival digitization, and local filming. Grant funds will support crew costs, expert consultation, archival licensing, and post-production. Completing Fall 2026, this partnership preserves at-risk history while bringing national recognition to all partner organizations. Sunday's Child will receive prominent recognition through film credits, festival premiere acknowledgment, and educational materials.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion:

Stamped's mission directly aligns with Sunday's Child's vision of an inclusive Pensacola by promoting LGBTQ+ visibility and acceptance through film. Our annual festival showcases diverse LGBTQ+ stories, fostering community dialogue through panels, workshops, and roundtable discussions. Year-round programming builds bridges between community members while providing essential resources and education. By creating safe spaces for authentic storytelling and meaningful conversations, Stamped demonstrates the philanthropic leadership Sunday's Child champions. Our work directly serves the community by celebrating LGBTQ+ contributions, increasing visibility, and inspiring greater acceptance— embodying Sunday's Child's commitment to equality and inclusion through impactful charitable initiatives.

Community Impact:

This grant enables Stamped to document transformative LGBTQ+ history challenging assumptions about when Pride began. The Emma Jones Society created inclusive celebrations in 1960s Pensacola, bringing together thousands across racial and gender lines, proving LGBTQ+ advocacy has deep Southern roots. This documentary provides evidence of Pensacola's pioneering civil rights role. Rather than viewing the South as hostile, audiences will see how local LGBTQ+ people stayed to build inclusive spaces—a powerful lesson for today. Sunday's Child's grant award will demonstrate leadership in preserving stories mainstream institutions cannot support, reaching national audiences and inspiring communities throughout the Southeast and beyond.

Warrington Emergency Aid Center

“WEAC Roof Repair”

Organizational Overview:

Warrington Emergency Aid Center (WEAC) is a non-sectarian, volunteer-run food pantry serving individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in the Warrington area of West Pensacola, Florida. We distribute non-perishable groceries and baked goods monthly to households living in zip codes 32505 through 32508. Each year, WEAC distributes some 15,000 pounds of food to support needy neighbors. In addition to food distribution, WEAC donates socks and shoes to local elementary schoolchildren and shares surplus food with area pantries and nonprofits. We also provide weekly bakery donations to Bright Bridge Ministries, which supports individuals experiencing homelessness and those in recovery programs, as well as to The Village Hands, a children's charity. Our beneficiaries include seniors, veterans, working families, grandparents caring for grandchildren and individuals facing temporary or long-term hardship. As part of our service, WEAC fosters compassion, dignity, and community support — ensuring no one in our neighborhood goes hungry or unseen.

Project Summary and Recognition of Sunday’s Child:

This project will fund WEAC's roof replacement. The existing roof is deteriorated, and leaks during heavy downpours, which have already caused significant food losses. We hold a five-year lease on the building, but lack funds to cover roof replacement, which is estimated at $18,000, according to the quote from the vendor we have selected. Construction, while weather dependent, should kick off once the grant is secured, with completion expected within 30 days. Funds will cover the cost of materials and labor, and any extras would help cover repairs beneath the roof, or repainting ceilings in the main and back rooms. Sunday's Child will be recognized with permanent signage inside the food pantry, and acknowledgment in our printed materials and on social media. This vital infrastructure improvement will protect our food inventory and ensure continued safe service to the hundreds of families who rely on WEAC.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion:

Warrington Emergency Aid Center (WEAC) promotes diversity, equality, and inclusion by serving all individuals in need—without discrimination or judgment. Our non-discrimination policy protects clients, volunteers, and staff across a wide spectrum of identities, including race, religion, ability, gender identity, and sexual orientation. We believe dignity and compassion should be extended to everyone, especially during times of crisis. This project supports a safe, inclusive space where food-insecure families from all backgrounds feel welcome. WEAC's values strongly align with Sunday's Child's mission to uplift organizations that celebrate diversity and create equitable access to essential services across the community.

Community Impact:

Receiving this grant will have an immediate and lasting impact on both WEAC and the Warrington community. A new roof will safeguard more than 15,000 pounds of food from weather-related damage, ensuring uninterrupted service to families facing food insecurity. It will also provide a safer environment for our volunteers, many of whom are seniors. By securing the integrity of our facility, the grant allows WEAC to focus on its mission—distributing food with dignity, compassion, and inclusion. This investment strengthens a trusted resource and helps ensure that no one in our neighborhood goes hungry due to preventable infrastructure failures.
