We are grateful to be a recipient of a 2025 Technical Assistance Grant through the Basic Needs Giving Partnership.
This investment supports Howe Community Resource Center in strengthening our internal systems, expanding our capacity, and building long-term sustainability. Technical assistance like this allows us to better support our staff and programs so we can continue partnering with families in ways that honor their strengths, goals, and voices.
Thank you to the partners and supporters who believe in community-driven solutions and investing in organizations that walk alongside families. 💛
The Basic Needs Giving Partnership recently announced its final two rounds of grants for 2025 totaling $1.7 million! This brings total 2025 grantmaking to $4.8 million with the previous multi-year and first round of technical assistance grants!🎉
