The opportunity disparity in STEM education for underprivileged children is a serious issue, and finding the right network of organizations to make a transformational difference is essential.

The Space Foundation is a unique partner that meets all the criteria and is in a strong position to align with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs), in particular UN-SDG 4 (Quality Education) and UN-SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) (Space Foundation, 2025; Stibbe & Prescott, 2020; Trotta, 2013; UN Mexico, 2022).

To end forced repression of society, the root to the weed that caused it must be pulled from the grounds of origination. ~ Juline (Julie) Stratton-Kerr, aka Mrs. Kerr since 10/09/2008, Disney World, Florida!

(Ms./Mrs. Spinnozi’s Post) In 2024, over 50 million people in the United States relied on food assistance programs, including food banks, supplemental nutrition assistance programs (SNAP) and other federal or state funded programs (Nchako, 2025). Organizations such as Hilltop House, provide access to food and nutritional services for at-risk populations within Northwest Indiana and focus on not only providing access to food but improving the health of program participants in the process.

Two Key Competencies for Global Leadership

Two Key Competencies for Global Leadership

Featured Image Courtesy of Bikson et al., 2003, p. xxii, Table S.2

  1. Cross-Cultural Competence (Bikson et al., 2003): the ability to interact with individuals from cultures other than one’s own effectively (as per their customs, values, and circumstances). ​It encompasses multicultural sensitivity, which is not acquired through study but through life experiences and living/working in another culture, and ideally, learning a second language. ​According to Gough (2022, p. 2, para. 1), diversity among multicultural teams contributes to increased creativity and serves as a “basis for synergy.”

  2. Global Scope of Practice (Bikson et al., 2003): Leaders must see the big picture that situates their organization in an international context. This may involve considerations related to what it actually means to work in different locales and what it means to tackle international markets, politics, and cultural practices. ​In a global marketplace, adaptation and mastery of the learning curve are of utmost necessity to remain efficient and effective as leaders managing “task and relationship processes” (Gough, 2022, p. 3).

Figure 2 depicts NASA education programs at the bottom of their list of priorities. This serves as a public indication of an area needing further development. A Space Foundation-sponsored mentorship program for experienced space professionals to mentor students and the next generation of space leaders to advance STEM education and workforce development throughout the global space community is an area of expertise that many think is out of reach. Considering the DEI areas within the United States government have been closed and the responsibility redirected at companies to manage internally, a program could be created using a model of SMART goals, namely, Specific (mentor-mentee matching in STEM fields), Measurable (measuring participation or engagement), Achievable (making use of networking collaboration already present and/or create new y pairing off NPOs with NGOs), Relevant (connected to education and workforce development), and Time-bound (have a pilot within 12 months). This approach welcomes social reform to activate career paths in space and/or engineering and enhance diversity in the workforce. According to Torpey (2025), the Bureau of Labor Statistics identified in ‘chart 1’ that scientific, technology, and research industries are at the top with expected exponential growth up to 2033. Therefore, the mastery of education will be needed to fulfill the research aspect to continue innovative development.

It was not until recently, paired with all the ongoing medical negligence and fraud, that I started demanding accountability and transparency from all companies involved in the behind-the-scenes pay-off schemes and their plots on humanity in general. Presently, it’s impossible to get any medical anything in South Carolina. Instead of addressing the injuries caused by the Medtronic SyncroMed II catheter defects from 1/23/2015 – 11/15/2023, doctors want to cut on my colon and make me bleed internally and suffer. It’s sick, evil, and beyond true, because Oak Street Health in South Carolina was penalized $60,000,000.00 from the USDOJ for filing false claims as of September 2024 https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/oak-street-health-agrees-pay-60m-resolve-alleged-false-claims-act-liability-paying-kickbacks

Power Cells on the Moon to advance humanity despite depleting resources on Earth (Bausback, 2024, Image 1)

Implications on Resource Development Strategies (RDS):

     The attention of the wider society, with a growing focus on global environmental sustainability, has shifted development strategies to how we can use fewer resources. For J2 Rescue & Rehab, Inc. (J2RRINC.org), this trend signals the need for sustainable acumen adoption for wildlife conservation, restoration, programs, and partnerships (McNay, 2020). J2RRINC.org can align its strategies and practices with eco-friendly doctrines and promote biodiversity conservation in compliance with UN SDGs (Kerr, 2025). ​

Challenges in Resource Development for a Nonprofit Organization: J2RRINC.org

“The Grant Cycle” from Sargeant & George, 2014, p. 350, Figure 14.1)

Challenge 1: Competition for Limited Funding

     Most nonprofit organizations are competing for a small pool of donor funding, grants, and corporate sponsorships. As Sargeant and George (2014) report, not only can the “grant life cycle” (e.g., Figure 1) extend over an entire year from the bid submission, but a grantor will only award one grant per applicant per year. Therefore, it is not realistic to entirely rely on grants as a sole source of income for any organization. Diverse funding plans and financial backing to protect the company are the safest approach.

Appe and Telch (2019) applied comparative interpretive policy analysis to three (3) specific low-income countries - Haiti, South Sudan (Africa), and Nepal regarding the influx in nonprofit (NPO/NGO) entity formations and the differences between international non-governmental organizations (INGO) and GINGOs (grassroots INGO) by combining interpretive policy analysis (IPA) with comparative public policy to decipher systemic guidelines effectiveness.

Since J2RRINC.org/.com is not pursuing donations proactively, nor submitting grant applications, it isn’t easy to provide an impact of any form of donations. Also, the overall vision for J2RRINC.org/.com is to offer grants and scholarships to support individuals who want to make lasting impacts on society as aspiring social entrepreneurs in the creation of a better future. However, from a hypothetical stance:
