“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

                                                                      - Winston Churchill

As a non-profit organization, we rely heavily on government and foundation funding, as well as public support to run our programs and continue with our steadfast commitment to strengthening individuals and their families in our community.

Why do we do this? It's simple really. According to the Brookings Institution's report, Miami in Focus: A Profile from Census 2000, Miami's residents face unique economic challenges, compared to other cities:

- They possess low education levels.
- They are often absent from the labor force.
- They must provide for relatively large households.

City residents further deal with a rapidly decentralizing regional economy, in which the gap between inner-city workers and jobs is widening. As the economic strength of the urban core dissipates, too many Miami families make do with low incomes and struggle to pay for housing and the necessities of life.

This is why we do it and we wouldn't be able to do it without the funding of local and federal grants from long time supporters, like the Miami-Dade Office of Economic Development, the City Of Miami, the Small Business Administration, and the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

However, we also need your help! We cannot continue to accomplish our goals without your contributions and support. All donations are allocated amongst the needs of our residents, communities, initiatives and business expenses, which enable us to continue providing the much needed services to our local communities.

Please consider donating to our organization today, thereby helping to positively impact the lives of South Florida's residents.
