History of Giving
Community Work
Set on a Hill Community Programs in conjunction with our non-profit Estadio Magazine has impacted the community in numerous ways. Within the last 12 years we have already accomplished so much. We are doing charity work through our Princess Ellie programs as well.
2012 Charity Projects
🎬 In 2012 We started doing Community Films and incorporated 5 Youth in our Television Shows that Aired on Mundo FOX.
📚 In 2012 we helped a High school student gain a summer internship position as a Bookkeeping Analyst where she learned how to reconcile account, use QuickBooks, and scale balance sheets. She earned $10 per hour as a high school student and learned a transferable skill that she can use in any city she decides to go to college in. That student, who was a triple minority—African American, female, in a single parent home– now has her first year of college paid for, due to our training in fundraising and saving for college.
2013 Charity Projects
🗂️ In the summer of 2013 we hosted an Education and Career Fair where we brought in two career panels, 3 speakers, and trained students on job, college, and career options.
The event was in partnership with two non-profits, Earth’s Angels Conference of Internal Hope Fellowship Church and Solutions for Teen Life. The event was hosted by Almeda Mall and the program benefited both non-profit organizations. Set on a Hill was glad to be able to give away three scholarships during the event.
🎓 In the fall 2013 one of our students in our summer career and college training program, after applying the techniques we taught in our course, earned $27,000 in scholarships and grants for the 2013-2014 school year.
2014 Charity Projects
🇧🇷 In 2014 we became partners with the Consulate General of Brazil in Houston. We also traveled to Manaus Brazil and Recife Brazil in order to connect with local avenues and to determine their needs. While in Brazil we filmed fan correspondence for MundoFOX.
📜 In the fall 2014 we gave away $1150 scholarship worth of credit to Thomas and Thomas Law Firm to two students for
a Pre-Educational Scholarship. This scholarship assisted students before they start attending school, to prepare them to qualify for scholarships.
2015-2017 Charity Projects
In 2015 we partnered with Rice University HACER program fundraise for a scholarship component to their club. Never in the history of HACER have they had their own scholarship fund, until now.
In 2016 we donated our live performances to multiple schools and children’s programs. We donated toys and books to international and local California elementary schools.
In 2017 we helped a dancer to prepare her for the Los Angeles market by creating a talent resume, producing her head-shots and producing two reels for her portfolio.
