ResourceWest

ResourceWest supports people as they move toward greater stability. We work to build healthier communities one neighbor at a time.

At ResourceWest, we believe that every family deserves a stable and hopeful future. As a local nonprofit serving the West Metro, we help neighbors become more connected, resourceful, and resilient. When one family thrives, our whole community grows stronger. 

Here for our neighbors

The school day ends long before the workday does. For many families in our community, before- and after-school care is what closes that gap.

But paying for care can be another story. A rent increase or the loss of a second income can leave a parent wondering how to cover it all.

Two families, same need 

A rent increase left one family we serve with too little to pay for before- and after-school care. They needed the care, but the numbers no longer worked. ResourceWest's tuition assistance made it affordable again. In their words: "After our rent went up, there just wasn't enough for everything. Help with childcare made a big difference. Our child could keep going, and we could cover our other bills."

A mom of two became a single parent and was suddenly relying on one income. With ResourceWest's help covering tuition, her kids kept their before- and after-school program, and she kept her full-time job. "They love going, and I could keep working my regular hours."

The Impact of Your Gift 

The school day and the workday rarely line up. Your gift closes the gap. ResourceWest is raising $40,000 to help 20 children in the west metro stay in quality childcare at their program of choice.

Through our Childcare & Academic Assistance Program, we pay 50% of eligible tuition directly to the care provider. That frees room in the family budget for other necessities, keeps kids connected to their friends, and parents go to work knowing their children are well cared for.

$2,000 supports one child's tuition assistance for a full school year.

Find your right fit:

  $1,000	Half a school year of tuition assistance for one child	50%
  $2,000	A full school year of tuition assistance for one child	100%

All amounts reflect an estimated $2,000 in assistance per child; actual costs vary by schedule and enrollment. Programs covered are before-and after-school care, extended-day care for preschoolers, and full-day summer care.

Your gift stays close to home, helping families in our community keep their children connected to friends and their work schedules intact.
