Not awareness. Not a resource guide. The actual deposit, the actual flight, the actual first month’s rent — paid directly to the landlord and the airline so the move happens.

Restricted gift. Money given here funds relocation and is tracked and reported separately from general operations. It is not reallocated.
Relocation is uniquely time-bound. A lease date, a court date, a law taking effect — these do not wait for a fundraising cycle. This is the fund where the gap between having money and not having it is measured in someone’s safety that week.
You will never receive a donor update featuring the person your gift moved. We publish dollars by category, never people. If you want proof of impact, it comes as a number, not a photograph of someone at their most vulnerable.
Deposit, first month, transport, documents, a prescription bridge, and groceries until the first paycheck. That figure is why people stay somewhere unsafe — not a lack of resolve, just a number they do not have.
This fund exists to make that number irrelevant to the decision. When it is well-supplied, we say yes quickly and cover most or all of a move. When it is low, we say so publicly rather than quietly slowing approvals, and people wait. What we can do in a given month is a direct function of what came into this fund that month.
