Joy Room project completions. Joy Collaborative completed three new Joy Rooms; (1) a respite space for those recovering from burn trauma at the new Firefighters for Healing Transitional Housing facility in Minneapolis, MN. To date, the facility has provided over 3,000 nights of free housing. The project in kind value is estimated at $51,000.00. From the COO: "Our Joy Room is a place that brings Joy to all who see it, and especially to those kids that get to experience it. Our Healing Center is designed to help the complete family heal and the Joy Room helps make that happen for everyone that stays with us." (2) a safe space for those experiencing domestic abuse at The Saint Paul Ramsey County Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, St. Paul, MN. Over 6,000 families will have access to the new "Secret Garden" space that provides a range of activities for children while parents receive confidential counseling. The project in kind value is estimated at $33,650.00. From the Executive Director: "It is a beautiful room that has been a magical, healing balm for victims/participants and their children. This single amazing room has set the tone for our entire building." (3) an amenity rich tree house for a Make A Wish MN recipient. Isaac's Tree House provides hammocks, a deck with furniture for socializing, a zip line, climbing holds and pulley system to encourage physical activity, and his favorite feature: a library and movable bookcase leading to a secret escape. As well as countering attention deficit disorder common in young people, nature play increases creativity, responsibility, and confidence. Additionally, increasing physical play will support increased heart, muscle, and lung function, the latter critical for those with cystic fibrosis. The project in kind value is estimated at $22,000.00. From the parent: "Isaac needs to stay physically fit as he is on 40 meds a day. Any organ failure could be terminal for him, so having a space that encourages less screen time, adventure play and nourish his creativity is a blessing and a relief to us." b. A new program, the Joy Mobile, launches. The Joy Mobile is a service that impacts individuals and communities by providing a solution to a pressing and growing need for respite and recovery spaces at public events. The Joy Mobile provides an environment to satisfy and reset acoustic, visual, tactile and olfactory senses and creates a one-stop space that provides safety, relief and focus for those who are neurodiverse. The Joy Mobile served over 300 guests in its first year with glowing reviews and future reservations made for 2024 events. It was completed with donations of a transit van ($34,000.00) and in kind labor and materials ($53,244.00). c. Volunteer services. Joy Collaborative benefited from volunteers who provided an estimated 350 volunteer hours valued at $11,130.00 for which these projects would not have been completed without their significant donations of time and talent. 0 70132 70132 Nicole Deters Board Chair 1 0 0 0 Mike Orum Secretary 1 0 0 0 Mary Kinder Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Michelle Arulfo Director 1 0 0 0 Kathy Jalivay Director 1 0 0 0 Melanie Zaelich Director 1 0 0 0 Mark Ostrom Executive Director 40 64081 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN Mark Ostrom 2437 34th Avenue South Minneapolis MN 55406 6122458453 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 9325 54845 98828 64954 227952 0 9325 54845 98828 64954 227952 20440 207512 1 6 17 21 45 227997 30327 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Advertising and Promotions;2025|Office Expenses;4386|Insurance;708|Supplies and Materials;6521|Parking and Travel;1069|Meals and Entertainment;3411^Total;18120^ We are aware that we are filing this return late and we are committed to filing the next one timely.
