A Step on the Pathway to Stability: Support Interfaith Works’ Future Fund this Giving Tuesday! 

The Interfaith Works Future Fund is a dedicated resource aimed at helping our clients overcome financial challenges on their pathway to stability. Clients collaborate with their case managers and IW staff to apply for up to $1,000 from the Future Fund. The IW Future Fund is essential in helping clients move along their own unique path to stability. 

Medical debt is a leading factor contributing to homelessness. The IW Future Fund can help address these financial challenges. Providing financial support for our clients is crucial to stabilizing their financial situation and helps prevent them from sliding further into poverty.  An illuminating example is a client who was finally able to purchase much-needed eyeglasses, leading to personal and professional growth. 

Clients in our Vocational Services Program often seek financial support through the IW Future Fund to obtain essential documentation, enabling them to enter the workforce and secure stable employment with regular pay and benefits. Others apply for assistance to purchase necessary laptops to secure academic and vocational success! 

Curbio has offered to match all donations 1:1 up to a total of $30,000 this Giving Tuesday. So your donation will have twice the impact! Curbio has renovated one of our homes and has been a great long-term partner to IW. We are so grateful and excited for this opportunity! 

Growing the IW Future Fund is a proactive step we can take together today to support our neighbors in finding their pathway to stability.  

Donate today, so our clients know that we walk with them every step of the way!
