Join Our Donor Community
At Project Self-Sufficiency, we believe in the power of one. One caring individual, one generous donation, one empowered parent – all contributing to stronger families and a more vibrant community. It takes remarkable effort for single parents to overcome the hard emotional, physical, and financial circumstances they face as they pursue education and career stability. This kind of success doesn’t happen alone, or overnight, and there are significant challenges to overcome. We need your help to bring the promise of education to single parents. Your gift, no matter the size, is an investment in their future. Donate now or learn about the long-term, multigenerational impact of recurring giving through our PowerCircle by clicking below.
How Your Gift Empowers Single Parents
Just like the cost of your morning coffee or a quick lunch can energize you, it can also fuel the dreams of a single parent working towards a better life. Your generosity provides the essential resources and support they need to succeed. Here’s how your donation directly supports single mothers and fathers in Larimer and Weld County:
$15
SelfPower Resilience
A recurring, monthly gift of $15 or more (or $180/year) ensures that our program remains as resilient as the single parents with whom we work.
$25
Fuel for Success
Provides transportation assistance for a single parent to attend a job interview, a crucial step on their path to employment. This is the equivalent of a couple of lattes – a small sacrifice for you, a huge opportunity for them.
$50
Nurturing Potential
Helps purchase essential school supplies for a child, ensuring they have the tools they need to thrive in the classroom. This is like treating yourself to a nice dinner out – you’re also providing nourishment for a child’s mind.
$100
Building Stability
Supports a parent’s childcare costs for a week, allowing them to focus on their job search or educational pursuits without worry. This is similar to your weekly grocery bill – you’re also helping provide security for a family.
$250
Empowering Through Education
Funds a financial literacy workshop, equipping single parents with the knowledge and skills to manage their finances and build a secure future. This could be your monthly utility bill – you’re also powering a family’s financial well-being.
$500
Opening Doors to Opportunity
Provides a scholarship for a single parent to pursue higher education or vocational training, opening doors to better career opportunities and long-term self-sufficiency. This is like a special occasion purchase – you’re making an investment that will change a life.
Your investment is more than a gift, it’s a lifeline and a promise that no single parent has to walk this path alone.
