Midas End of Year Giving Campaign

Dear Midas Community,

This year, the Midas Collaborative celebrates our 25th anniversary, and since joining Midas in January, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the powerful impact our collective work has on the communities we serve.

Every day, I am inspired by our work with Community Partner Organizations and our shared commitment to economic equality.

Through our work, we help homeless youth build financial safety nets, renters become first-time home owners, and students save enough to buy books for college.  These are not small victories; these are lives changed, these are shared victories in a time when so many are trapped in cycles of poverty. Midas continues to offer tools that disrupt that outcome.

I invite you to give a gift that resonates with you, any gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in our ability to support individuals and families working toward financial stability and long-term opportunity.

Your contribution strengthens our programs, deepens our partnerships, and most importantly, empowers the individuals we serve.

Thank you for your gift to economic mobility.

In Solidarity,

Rose Francois

Executive Director

In Their Own Words

“Did the financial education I received help with my confidence? Absolutely! There was so much about personal and business finance that I was oblivious to. Now, having learned all the information I’ve acquired, I'm much more able to make better financial decisions for myself and my business.”​

Program: QVCDC​

Savings Goal: Small Business

“[Post-Matched Savings] I understand how to budget now. Keep track of my money flow. So, when I fall off of my budget, I know how to get back on track. That makes it easier to make the steps to get back on track. I no longer have fear or panic or avoidance when I’m struggling with money. I get on track and start a new budget.”​

-Ayoka​

Program: Crittenton Women's Union​

Savings Goal: Homeownership

“Saving money is really hard, but it made a big difference knowing that by the end of my placement, I would have a nice chunk of money set aside.”
