$50,000 Impact: Your donation today will have a $50,000 impact. The Richard M. Schulze Foundation has agreed to award us $50,000 if we can meet the $50,000 baseline goal from new donors. However, it is "All or Nothing." If we don't meet this goal, we cannot receive the matching transformative gift from the foundation.
High Need: There are long waiting lists in Minnesota for felon-friendly, affordable housing with structured support. Your gift today will help us meet this $50,000 Challenge. Together, we can direct more resources to ensure safe communities for all while providing needed support for successful release.
