"As someone who was raised by a single mom, I know first-hand that stability and predictability are privileges many families don’t have. What speaks to me about the work of MicroGrants is its focus on meeting immediate needs that help individuals overcome concrete barriers to improved financial stability – from solving a transportation challenge to helping to pay for job training or retraining. It doesn’t get more real than this."
