When people thrive, communities thrive. Jobs are just the beginning!

Every financial commitment means people can get to work putting poverty behind them while looking ahead to a meaningful job and the self-sufficiency that comes with it.

But the benefits go well beyond each person. Every dollar invested in Cara generates $5.97 over five years in social return on investment. This is the kind of math we can all get our heads around, especially when we know this ROI is backed by the beautiful power of hope to boot.

Monthly Motivators

Recurring donations are a steady lifeline for us. They give us the mindshare to worry more about how to strengthen our services and less on how to fund them. More Monthly Motivators means more mission.
