Big Picture Foundation Corporate Structure We have a three-part mission: 1) Kids use the arts to affect positive change in their local, national or global communities, through outreach projects.  2) Kids build a global community of friends, by pitching themes to each other, by using the arts to interpret the themes, and finally, by posting the results of their projects online.  3) Kids learn about world cultures, by getting to know each other, thereby breaking down prejudice and promoting tolerance. We host 3 annual Global Galleries, to show BPF children’s arts accomplishments.   EIN:  81-4795736 Incorporated January 9th, 2017 501(c)(3) appointed by IRS on June 26th, 2016   Big Picture Foundation 369 Round Hill Road Greenwich, CT 06831   Tel:  (914) 980-7670 URL:  https://bigpicturefoundation.org   Administration Kim Tamalonis – Founder and Executive Director Sakhile Matlhare – Global Communications Director – located in Botswana PhD from Northwestern University in the sociology of the work of African diasporic artists   Board of Trustees Brit Foster Rothstein – President Chase Kreuter – Secretary Daniel Kennefick – Treasurer Evan Weiss (CEO of Neomantra Capital) Adam Levi – Rye Arts Center Senior Director       Most Frequently Contributing Global Teachers Rami Khalef – Iraq – Harsham Camp Tejas Mehta – India – Teach for India/Anjali Khalsa English School Pragya Tank – India – Teach for India/Anjali Khalsa English School Chuantong Ma –  China Shpend Bengu – Albania Sherry Tamalonis – USA – Greenwich Academy UNHRC and IRD team – Jordan –  Za’atari Camp Sahana Gero – England – World Heart Beat Music Academy   Essential Programming Supporters Nancy Pasquale – She understands our program and sits on the Rye Board of Ed Shaheen Mistry – CEO Teach for India UNHRC (United Nations Human Rights Council) at the Za’atari Refugee Camp IRD – International Relief and Development Organization Robert Martin – BPF Insurance broker and father of BPF student Robyn Kaminer – General programming support Daniel Dardashi – Matches nonprofits with corporate sponsors (we will meet for the first time, this month) Nicole Levitsky – RyeTV Director – works with BPF kids on a tv show Greenwich Apple Store – Senior Manager, Michael Farewell, coordinates free BPF programs at the store.
