You've worked hard to get back on your feet, we're here to help you keep your Foothold.
In Minneapolis 3,000+ people are homeless on any given night.* Over half a million people and children in Minnesota live below the official poverty line - which means they are one surprise expense away from being homeless.**
OUR MISSION: To help families keep hope alive by providing a foothold out of poverty. Foothold provides one-time donations to assist with the unexpected expenses that traditional assistance programs do not cover. Every dollar donated goes directly to a family in need.
Foothold Twin Cities is a locally directed non-profit organization in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
Foothold Twin Cities is exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3) Donors can deduct contributions under IRC Section 170
"Words alone cannot describe how grateful I am for what you have done for me and my family. You got our life on the right track, prevented eviction and restored our self-esteem. I used to hear 'opportunity only comes once.' You have made that chance by paying our rent when we had nowhere to turn. You opened the door and let me in. I'm forever grateful for this." - Parent, 2018
