Mutual Aid Saves Lives. This fund is providing a small amount to a family in need that desires to remain in Denver and is facing a small cost that would derail their economic mobility and stability in the city.

Single income households often have no other fund to rely on, and thus face insurmountable challenges with mobility or displacement from the city of Denver. From needing to change schools more often to parents being over burdened with 2-3 jobs to experiencing the cliff effect - this fund is supporting the community aid in economic equity for our single income households with children in Denver Colorado. Created by a single mom who has fundraised for health care and has faced the barriers of one time small costs that derail stability.

Items the fund will support: Bills (for eligible utilities you will be referred to LEAP April-November), child care costs (you will also be referred to CCAP for your county), needs for back to school for both parent and child (you will be referred to financial aid), unplanned costs you did not expect (to be identified by participants), any transportation needs or barriers to work and school(there might be a referral to RTD), holidays and birthdays for parent and child, anything connected to household basic needs (we also refer out for some housing needs), wrap around needs that may not already be covered in other local programming or available, anything related to loss in federal funding like social services that are a one time monthly cost that participants can no longer access. Participants will be referred to programming outside of The Second Fund that directly relates to their needs through their triage by experts in local resource navigation. Interview and questionnaire must be filled out and completed to be eligible.
