and volunteers have been instrumental in generating support and developing programs for the Foundation.
The
Dallas Foundation
The MindOH! Foundation operates as a supporting organization of The
Dallas. The Dallas Foundation, established as a community foundation
in 1929, serves as a leader, catalyst and resource for philanthropy
by providing donors with flexible means of making gifts to charitable
causes that enhance the community. The Dallas Foundation provides
a service by helping Texans and others around the country give to
charitable causes. The Foundation awarded nearly $13.3 million in
grants in 2000. Since its inception, it has given more than $55 million
in grants to more than 700 agencies.
MindOH!,L.L.C.
MindOH! was founded in July 2000 by six entrepreneurs, Beth Carls,
Stephen Haslam, Amy Looper, Leslie Matula, Robert Pennington, Ph.D.,
and Dot Woodfin, who are dedicated to providing young people with
the necessary tools to develop strong character traits and a healthy
self-concept. The Company creates interactive computer modules that
teach students problem-solving techniques and communication skills,
reinforcing universally held virtues such as respect and responsibility.
Interactive Character education is increasingly becoming an integral part of learning
environments, particularly in light of increased incidents of bullying,
stealing, bigotry and substance abuse among today's youth. MindOH!
connects with students during the disciplinary process, guiding them
to consider their actions and resulting consequences while developing
an internal motivation to practice ethical behavior. By uncovering
the core issues at the heart of student misbehaviors, positive behavioral
changes can be fostered and time spent in the disciplinary process
will be reduced, allowing more focus on activities that promote a
positive academic and social climate. The modules support teachers,
parents, caregivers and the learning community in a collective effort
to empower youth to become responsible and caring citizens of the
global community. For more information, email info@mindoh.com.
