What would you do if you won $25K? Well, last November, we did! ✊

We were selected as 1 of 10 social enterprises that had the chance to pitch in the competition for this HUGE prize from Trico Charitable Foundation.

📢Spoiler alert: We won!

While a small sum of the money went to keeping us afloat after the pandemic decreased our in-person support by over 80% (and at one point, over 90%😢), we wanted the remaining money to stay out of daily operations. We looked for mindful ways to invest our winnings into the growth of our social enterprise.

Thanks to Trico Charitable Foundation, we are building up what we’ve lost during the pandemic and coming back 10X.

You can get all the gritty details about how we are 10Xing our impact in this blog feature.

$25,000 POPular Choice recipient ENABLE brings people together, creating meaningful matches between families with disability and support workers.
