"I would be able to work my full work week schedule without having to call in because I don't have a sitter or having to leave work in the middle of a shift because I don't have dependable, reliable, or proper childcare. Missing work means we have to go without even more than we already have to on a regular basis. Also not being able to be consistent with my work schedule means our sole income is in jeopardy. If I would be able to utilize your funding, it would also mean that my youngest daughter (2) would be able to be in a positive, safe, clean, healthy and structured environment during the day while I work . This assistance would make a significant difference to my whole family's day to day lives - financially , emotionally and mentally."

"I am a single mother of two little girls, and I am responsible for getting both of my daughters and myself to and from our destinations. I am currently going through a tank and a half of gas a week. With gas prices varying at this time, I am having to pull gas money from our food budget and asking family for help to get us to and from where we need to be. If I could get help in this area, I would be able to put my extra money towards my daughter's daycare and groceries."

Leadership
A New Way to Invest in Working Families
Existing safety net services help families meet their Survival Budget. THRIVEfunds addresses the gap between survival and empowerment. Working families seek opportunities to improve their current circumstances.
​
Pre-COVID, there were 50.8 million US households unable to invest in expenditures to increase their economic mobility and quality of life.
​
We partner with local organizations to build on working families’ capacity to change their lives forever.
