With only one staff person and one volunteer, in our first year, our tiny nonprofit has given Community CatalystCash of over $170,000.00 to over 170 people in our community who are struggling financially after trauma.

We have provided grants for full and partial dentures, for summer camp for children whose single parent works, for car repairs, for back rent after an illness, for an airline ticket to see a dying son, for study materials and test fees for immigrant wanting to take nursing licensure test, for house repairs, for back utility bills, for a dying man's family reunion party, for a gravestone, for a rescued animal's vet bills, for a particular medical exam for an immigrant family, and so many more.

We are firm believers that financial struggle for people who are dealing with trauma is about money and not about character.

We fervently wish we could do more, but we are limited by the funds donated. Please consider donating to our cause; any amount will help. As one grateful grantee said, we are doing what churches and other faith-based organizations should be doing. Please help us do more.

We are proud of what we give back to our community, and our grantees love our Community CatalystCash program. We've scored a 10 out of 10 from each one in our follow-up calls to them. We also have great reviews on the Great Non-profits website.
