What We Do
Humanity Forward Foundation x The $1k Project delivers $1,000 a month for 3 months to individuals and families who are financially impacted by the pandemic by connecting them with sponsor donations.
Who We Are
We are committed to creating a bridge for US working families who lost income due to the pandemic. These families faced an immediate and unforeseen struggle to maintain stable housing, food, schooling, and medicine. With involvement from staff from the Humanity Forward Foundation, volunteers across the country have developed, operated and shared this effort.
Your Contribution Directly Helps Families
When you donate to our campaign, your contribution flows directly to a family in need. Families are referred into the project through our trusted network, and we review each application individually.
This meaningful impact reached more than $2,500,000 to 800 families in just five months, and their gratitude is inspiring.
"I would like to thank you for your generous contribution during a difficult time for my family and I. This eases some stress and uncertainty for myself as a mother. No amount of thank yous can really express how grateful I am today. When you’re constantly hitting walls and dead ends, a gift like this is a dream. Now I feel like I can ease up a bit and enjoy some time NOT feeling anxious and overwhelmed because someone like you cared enough to help someone like me. I’ll be forever indebted to you!" -- Michelle in California
The sponsored families come from 39 states, 13% are single parent households. In all, we have supported 860 dependents in those families!
Matching Funds Double Your Impact!
For a limited time, every $1 contributed to HFF x The $1K Project will be matched by the Humanity Forward Foundation. So, if you decide to donate $50, that will count as $100 towards the sponsorship of a family in need.
