Welcome to Giving Tuesday 2025!

The future can feel uncertain. Almost daily, it feels like the safety net programs that serve Interfaith Works clients across the County become more unstable. But there is help – the IW Future Fund.

Each year, Giving Tuesday donations fuel the IW Future Fund, a lifeline that helps our neighbors overcome critical financial gaps on their path to stability. Clients work with their case manager to request up to $1,000 from the Fund to cover urgent needs that fall outside other IW programmatic assistance.

This year, every dollar you give is matched 1:1 thanks to a group of generous anonymous donors.

Through your generosity last year, clients were able to:

Move from shelter into safe and stable housing
Pay off prohibitive debt and restart their lives
Insure and fill their new apartment with household necessities
Stay connected to potential employers to restart their careers
Reconnect with family, rebuilding connections once thought lost

Donate now to support our neighbors as they each move along their own unique path to stability.

Thank you for filling the gaps for our neighbors!
