Deeds for Deeds is a 501c3 Organization
Our 2025 Goal is to raise $20,000 towards Community Empowerment Fund, a local non-profit working to end the racial wealth gap by supporting hundreds of Members, annually, in reaching their employment, housing, and finance goals.
In January, we celebrated reaching our 2024 goal by raising $20,000 for Housing for New Hope. Since 2022, we've raised over $40,000 towards local non-profits working in the housing sector. To date we've partnered with The Caris Foundation, Housing for New Hope, and Hope Renovations. We're so grateful for the support we've received and look forward to continuing out efforts year after year to make a significant impact for many families in our area.
This year, we're excited for our new partnership with Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), an organization dedicated to cultivate opportunities, assets, and communities that sustain transitions out of homelessness and poverty.
Background
Founded in 2009, CEF provides person-centered support, financial education, and asset building tools to individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.
Our approach combines person-centered support with financial services that pursue equity in order to reduce the racial wealth gap. CEF Members receive sustained one-on-one support from volunteer Advocates, trained in racial equity and trauma-informed care, to help achieve their chosen goals. Working with Advocates, Members secure housing, gain employment, and build savings in order to increase assets and sustain transitions out of poverty.
CEF creates a community of support that empowers Members, offers experiential learning opportunities for Advocates to grow and learn, and advocacy and collaboration to address the systemic causes of homelessness and poverty. CEF’s work is grounded in recognition of the detrimental impacts of systemic racism on Black and Brown members of our communities. We leverage the combined resources of passion for sustaining transitions out of homelessness, dedicated volunteers, partners with shared values, and cross-spectrum collaborations to offer holistic support to each Member.
Community Empowerment Fund
We hope you’ll join us in these efforts!
Since 2022, Deeds for Deeds has raised over $40,000 towards local non profits!
