In 2007, Charity Productions played a significant role in campaigning for TSU’s president, provost, dean, and public, asking the BJML School of Public Affairs to apply for a four-year degree program in Homeland Security and Emergency Management. This campaign demonstrated our commitment to promoting education and training in disaster management. Charity Productions began using FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute courses as a proof of concept, utilizing TSU’s library staff.
August 23, 2013, after much discussion, Tony Russell, Superintendent of FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute, addressed the body as the inaugural speaker. Charity Productions’ relationship with the SOPA spans nearly two decades as a valued information, marketing, and distribution provider. Charity Productions provides outreach and marketing through the TSU’s EMPA program.
In the spring of 2023, Charity Productions participated in the Blueprint of Justice—
Climate Justice research project, which professor Oana Stanecu led.
In 2017, Professor Jennifer Horney, currently the director of epidemiology, conducted an SF 12
Study at one of Charity Productions; community capital events. The studys results indicated,
“Although survey participants were older and more likely to be African-
American than the overall population of Houston, they had higher mental health
composite scores than the national average, with increases in mental well-being
associated with a longer length of residence in their neighborhood.”
The collective sense of mental well-being is due to civic involvement and the consistency and
regularity of the information distributed by Charity Productions over forty years.
