COMMUNITY GRANTS

Cause We Care Foundation is proud to announce that we have recently awarded Community Grants to support programs at 7 frontline organizations across the Lower Mainland.

Cause We Care has chosen to invest in these programs because they each effectively support single mothers to improve their economic security, increase their personal capacity, and provide greater opportunities and improved well-being to their children.

Today we shine a spotlight on

DRESS FOR SUCCESS

@dfsvancouver is a community empowering women into the workforce by providing them with professional attire, career services, and skills development programs.

CWC will be the signature named funding partner for the "Heart Moms" program, which will specifically target single mothers to benefit from Dress for Success services including one-on-one appointments with career coaches, interview attire, employment workshops, and free clinical counseling services. Approximately 300 single mothers will be served each year.

MAKING AN IMPACT

We are excited to share MOMentum: Cause We Care Foundation’s Annual Impact Report. As we look back on the year and all of the challenges and struggles faced by single mothers, we are reminded how hard these women work to take care of their children, especially during uncertain times, and how important it is for organizations like Cause We Care to offer them support.

Among the impacts we made in 2021 with your generous support:

•30 single mothers received funding through our Single Mothers Support Fund
•1,200 Holiday Care Packages were distributed to families in need in December
•21 single mothers and their 35 children continue to enjoy safe and affordable housing at Cause We Care House
•148 at risk kids were supported through after school and school break programs

Over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting the positive impacts your donations have had on the single mothers in our community, breaking down the numbers to shine a spotlight on how Cause We Care funds have been invested to help those who need it most.

Thank you for choosing Cause We Care and marginalized single mothers as a cause that is important to you. We know your investment in single mothers will have positive returns for years to come.

DEAR DONORS

One of the highlights of this year’s Mother’s Day Lunch was listening to Single Mothers Support Fund beneficiary, Moyosola, speak about her experience with the wrap-around funding that allowed her to pursue her dream of continued education, and subsequently open her own small business.

Thank you @kingmoyosola for sharing your story.

“Dear Donors, with your financial help, Cause We Care was able to support me, not just once but twice. Responsibilities and lack of funds were challenges that could have slowed me down or stopped me completely. But Cause We came through, and JES Tresses Salon was birthed.

Believe me, getting approved for this support opened up my world again. I saw achievable goals, future opportunities and financial independence. This funding is one of the reasons I stand here today, a graduate from school at age 49, an independent single mother of three, a business owner again, and on the path to financial freedom.”
