Charity needs
Platform-curated needs from nonprofits and civic groups. Guilds can use a need as a starting point, then deliberate in their own trust circle before acting.
Riverside Literacy Project
Suggested grant: $2,400
The spring cohort has 35 students across three reading levels. The request covers bilingual readers, notebooks, pencils, and take-home books so families are not relying only on borrowed classroom sets.
Riverside Literacy Project
Recruit 4-6 volunteers for two Saturday reading sessions.
Riverside Literacy is adding two Saturday family reading sessions each month. They need small groups willing to read with children, help parents find appropriate books, and document which materials families ask for most often.
Maple Heights Tenant Association
Suggested grant: $1,750
The tenant association has updated its rights packet after recent building inspections. Funding would print 500 copies and translate the packet into Spanish and Arabic before the next door-knocking weekend.
Harbor Welcome Center
Schedule volunteers for six weekday appointment-support shifts.
Families often need help with transit, forms, and waiting-room translation during weekday appointments. Harbor Welcome Center is looking for groups that can cover six morning shifts over the next month.
Harbor Welcome Center
Suggested grant: $3,200
Staff can arrange appointments, but transportation costs still cause missed visits. This grant would provide reloadable transit cards for families attending medical, school, and benefits appointments during the next six weeks.
