Please support Gaza.  Picture every innocent child killed or maimed as being one of your family and open your hearts to this suffering.

I support your vital work so those facing genocidal threats in Gaza may be fed.

Those are the profits of a fundraiser gig we did at Cambridge Community Kitchen. With solidarity.

Doing God's Work. Happy Birthday Signe. Love You

We gave because we care  🤲🏼🫶🏽

Locally led. The last pot to boil. The last door to shut. A U.S. nonprofit (2024) focused on food, farming & survival in Gaza.

🍲 Gaza Soup Kitchen: Feeding 10,000 People Daily

As famine tightens its grip and markets collapse, Gaza Soup Kitchen is still boiling pots—feeding 1,000 people every day with dignity and determination.

We were the first soup kitchen in North Gaza to lean on local farmers and forage from nature to keep people alive. When others paused, we adapted. When supplies ran out, we improvised.

Today, we operate across 11 kitchens, run a community clinic, and deliver clean water and hot meals to hospitals—even in the hardest-hit zones.

This is survival work, done by people living through the very crisis they’re responding to.

Support the last pots still cooking. 

Gaza Soup Kitchen

Organized volunteers providing outreach to unhoused folks with urgent relief: warmth, food, humanity, and  connection to services.

Town Bizness exists to bring the necessities of a dignified human life to the unhoused population of Oakland and Berkeley, CA. 
These necessities include good food, reliable shelter, clothing, toiletries, bedding, and basic creature comforts such as safe propane stoves and heaters, radios, and more, depending on each client’s needs. 

We also assist with housing, and keeping folks connected to service providers by supplying telephones and monthly service. 

The majority of folks we serve were born where they now live in tents, and once had property ownership in their families here in the bay area, but no longer do. Most are seniors, and many of them are now sick and/or disabled.

A non-profit organization focused on improving the quality of life of pets affected by houselessness and poverty in Southern OR.


Rogue Valley Street Dogs (formerly known as Street Dog Project) was founded in 2013. We first operated as a program of Friends of the Animal Shelter in Jackson County, Oregon. In 2021, Street Dog Project was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a community service public charity that focuses on improving the quality of life of pets affected by homelessness and poverty.

Our primary mission is to provide free spay/neuter services for animals of the unhoused and no/very low income in order to improve the lives of animals and prevent overpopulation.

To establish trust and improve the quality of life for dogs and cats, we provide limited high-quality food, collars, leashes, harnesses, coats, and other items to help pets in need. We also provide vouchers for low-cost vaccine clinics and help with flea/tick/worm medications and veterinary care when able.

As we continue to make spay and neuter our priority, we believe that a holistic approach with an educational platform to provide long-term, meaningful help will improve the lives of dogs and cats and prevent more animals from entering shelters, being euthanized, or leading a life of suffering.

We strongly believe in collaboration and work closely with partners who serve the unhoused communities and animals in Southern Oregon. We provide food and gear and host outreach events where we distribute donations and work with people to spay and neuter their pets.

**Our Mission** is to fund and facilitate spay-neuter and essential support services to improve the lives of pets living in poverty.

**Our Vision** is to alleviate the suffering and tragic consequences of pet overpopulation in the Rogue Valley through education and compassionate action. We envision a community where dogs and cats of our most vulnerable are safe, healthy, and kept out of overcrowded animal shelters. 

**Our Values:**

- **Trust and Respect –** *We believe every person and animal deserves respect, kindness, and support without judgment.  Building a foundation of trust enables us to take meaningful, compassionate action.*
- **Education –** *Our focus is to teach about pet care and the importance of spay and neuter.  We also educate our clients about other resources for assistance. We strive to inform all in our community about the crisis of pet overpopulation and barriers to care for those most in need. Education is our most powerful avenue to change.*
- **Community –** *To be effective and sustainable, we cannot work alone; collaboration is key.  We welcome and build partnerships with human social service agencies, animal welfare groups, the veterinary community, local businesses, individual supporters, volunteers, and anyone who wants to improve lives on both ends of the leash.*
- **Safety –** *We are ever mindful of creating a safe space for all: animals, guardians, volunteers, veterinary partners, and members of the public.*

What is Mutual Aid?

**Mutual aid is “cooperation for the sake of the common good.” It’s getting people to come together to meet each other’s needs, recognizing that as humans, our survival is dependent on one another.**

Mutual Aid is a practice and politics that emphasizes solidarity rather than charity. It means we recognize that our well-being, health and dignity are all bound up in each other. It means that we understand our survival depends on cooperation, not competition. In this particular moment, we see that our health is also dependent on other people’s health, and we can literally save each other’s lives. Rather than disengage and feel powerless, mutual aid allows us to plug in where we can make the most impact — locally.

Mutual aid IS...

- Getting people together in your community to provide material support to each other
- Building relationships with your neighbors based on trust and common interest
- Making decisions by consensus rather than relying on authority and hierarchy
- Sharing things rather than hoarding things
- Treating no one as disposable
- Providing all kinds of support, ranging from food prep to childcare to translation to emotional support, and recognizing the value of all of them
- A political education opportunity, where we build the relationships and analysis to understand why we are in the conditions that we're in
- Preparation for the next disaster (natural or economic). Next time around we'll already have relationships with each other and know who is vulnerable and needs support
- A great jumping off point for other kinds of organizing and movement work

Mutual aid IS NOT...

- Quid pro quo transactions
- Only for disasters or crises
- Charity or a way to "save" people
- A reason for a social safety net not to exist

DC Mutual Aid Network

The DC Mutual Aid Network (DCMA) is a grassroots community-led effort looking to take care of each other and keep our city as safe as possible.

- DCMA is a decentralized, community-led effort, so there is no single group that runs the network.
- There are autonomous groups for Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Wards 7 & 8 are served together by one group.
- The DCMA Network is governed by the ward groups on topics of social media, website, fundraising, etc. The groups also share resources, best practices and offer referrals to other groups.

Ward 2 Efforts

Ward 2 Mutual Aid is part of the larger DCMA Network. Our concrete activities are:

- **Hotline** - Volunteers staff our warmline, where Ward 2 residents can call and request assistance.
- **Groceries** - We provide a grocery bag delivery to ~150 families that request it through our hotline or building captains. The bags include fresh produce, protein, dry goods, and requested household items.
- **Encampment Outreach** - We organize a supply drop to ~120 unhoused neighbors.
- **Building captains** - We organize with local residents to utilize their leadership and relational networks. Building captains check on neighbors, relay needs, and assist with food donations and distribution.
- **Back to school** - We organize with local parents to host a book and clothing swap.
- **Support for high risk/immuno-compromised individuals** - We have been partnering with local public housing buildings to drop off cleaning supplies, masks, and groceries.

The Dragonfly Foundation delivers hope and healing to birth mothers well beyond placement.

*Emergency Funding for Birth Mothers Post-Adoptive Placement*

The Dragonfly Foundation (TDF) delivers hope and healing to birth mothers in their unseen moments of change, crafting a path of resilience through community care well beyond placement.

Our Mission

The Dragonfly Foundation is dedicated to providing emergency funding to birth mothers following adoptive placement. Our organization supports these extraordinary women with essential resources such as living expenses, transportation, counseling, and education, enabling them to rebuild their lives and secure a hopeful future. This grant proposal seeks funding to expand our services and reach more birth mothers in need.

Background

Co-founded by 30-year adoption specialist Tammy Davis, who herself is both a birth mother and an adoptive mother, and NWSL star and adoptive mother Ali Krieger, TDF is looking for partners to help them grow into a first-of-its-kind organization that boldly addresses the challenges birth mothers face, standing up to stigma without hesitation. We leverage every tool, connection, and opportunity to provide birth mothers with the support they need to not only rebuild but to thrive. Our goal is to ensure that birth mothers feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared about throughout their journey.

The Dragonfly Foundation was established to address the lack of support for birth mothers who have made the courageous decision to place their children for adoption. Post-placement, many of these women face significant challenges, including financial hardship, emotional distress, and a need for further education and career development. Our foundation aims to bridge this gap by providing comprehensive emergency assistance, ensuring that birth mothers can transition smoothly and regain stability in their lives.

Program Description

**Living Expenses**

We offer financial support for basic living expenses such as housing, utilities, and groceries. This immediate assistance is crucial for birth mothers who may be facing economic instability post-placement.

**Transportation**

Reliable transportation is essential for accessing job opportunities, attending counseling sessions, and participating in educational programs. We provide funding for public transportation passes, car repairs, and other transportation needs.

**Counseling**

Emotional well-being is a critical aspect of the recovery process for birth mothers. We fund professional counseling services to help them navigate the emotional complexities of adoption and build resilience.

**Education**

Education is a pathway to empowerment and long-term stability. We offer financial assistance for vocational training, college courses, and other educational pursuits that enable birth mothers to enhance their skills and career prospects.

Goals and Objectives

·         Goal 1: Provide immediate financial relief to birth mothers post-adoptive placement.

·         Objective 1: Distribute emergency funding to cover living expenses for 150 birth mothers over the next year.

·         Objective 2: Ensure access to reliable transportation for 100 birth mothers within six months.

·         Objective 3: Offer counseling services to 75 birth mothers in the upcoming year.

·         Objective 4: Support educational programs for 50 birth mothers within the next year.

To achieve these goals, The Dragonfly Foundation will collaborate with local service providers, educational institutions, and transportation agencies to ensure that all funded services are accessible and effective.

The Boyce L. Ansley School is a tuition-free, private school for children who have or are currently experiencing homelessness. 

The Boyce L. Ansley School is Atlanta and the Southeast’s only tuition-free private school for children and families who have or are currently experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to help break the cycle of generational poverty by providing collaborative family support and a complete academic program that empowers children and families to thrive beyond circumstance. Guided by a mighty mission, we help families move beyond circumstance and break the cycle of generational poverty by eliminating the financial hurdle to a world-class education. We ensure that every child, regardless of their housing situation, has access to high-quality in-class daily instruction with collaborative support for therapeutic services. Student services built into the curriculum include one-on-one and play therapy directed by an in-house licensed therapist, two daily meals (plus a third meal through our aftercare programs), and uniform distribution twice a year. Family services that are also a core part of our program include family case management, workforce development, family and group therapy, free school transportation for students, and emergency assistance (for hotels, eviction prevention, healthcare, dental care, and more).  We currently serve students in K-6th grade. Class sizes are small with 15 students and 2 teachers per grade. A low teacher-to-student ratio that creates a stronger community, increases student engagement, and provides individualized instruction and support. We also equip our students with needed emotional intelligence. At Ansley, we place equal emphasis on social/emotional functioning as we do academic gains. Over the last three years Ansley School has increased the percentage of students receiving therapy from 42% to 79%.
