let your refund be a restart for a family who needs it most
For many of us, a tax refund is a welcome bonus. For a family living paycheck to paycheck, a small cushion can mean everything.
Pay it forwardYour “little extra” goes a long way:
Last year, thanks to supporters like you, we provided more than $100,000 in emergency savings matches to families in our financial literacy programs and connected 200+ young adults to career training programs.
Your generosity doesn’t just help someone through a crisis—it gives them the tools to avoid the next one too.
1 in 3
families in our region can’t cover a $400 unexpected expense—just one emergency can become a crisis.
43%
of families don’t earn enough to cover the rising cost of the basics like food, housing, childcare, and healthcare.
