(Be Part of the Ripple Effect)
🌊 Create a Ripple
At Ripples, we believe a little support at the right time can change someone’s direction. Whether you give financially, share your time, or help someone establish a new home, your contribution can create a ripple that continues long after the initial gift.
💙 Give Where It Matters Most
Choose how you’d like your donation to make an impact:
🌊 Ripples Loan Fund
Help fund affordable Pay It Forward loans for individuals transitioning into supportive living/sober living.
$250 helps build the loan fund
$500 funds half of a standard loan
$1,000 can fund one complete Pay It Forward loan
As loans are repaid, those dollars return to the fund and can help the next person—allowing one gift to create ripples again and again.
🏠 Sponsor a Fresh Start
Stable housing is more than having a roof. Help someone begin again with the basic things that make a new space feel like home.
Your gift can help provide bedroom furniture, bedding, kitchenware, towels, household essentials, and other move-in needs.
$100 helps provide basic household essentials
$250 can help furnish a bedroom or kitchen
$500+ can sponsor a more complete fresh start
📚 Invest in Financial Education
Help fund weekly financial wellness and self-reliance education for Ripples participants.
Donations help us provide classes and resources focused on budgeting, credit, saving, employment, financial goals, and building long-term stability.
$50 helps provide educational resources
$250 helps sponsor financial education
$1,000 helps expand education and coaching to more participants
💙 Give Where Needed Most
Not sure which area to choose?
Give to the General Ripples Fund and allow us to direct your contribution toward the areas where it can make the greatest impact.
🙌 Give Your Time
You don’t have to give money to make a difference.
We’re looking for community members willing to teach, mentor, share professional skills, or assist with financial and life-skills education.
You might teach a class on budgeting, credit, employment, entrepreneurship, cooking, home ownership, or another skill that can help someone build a stronger future.
Whether you give one hour, teach one class, or become an ongoing mentor, your experience can become part of someone else’s fresh start.
