Funding
COMPASS is a privately funded 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that does not rely on government funding.
COMPASS is funded entirely by contributions from foundations, corporations, churches, and individuals.
Your contribution will allow us to conduct up to 8000 client visits per year, helping with the cost of guidance/case management, and “direct assistance”.
Some examples of how your gift can provide direct assistance:
- $75 will pay for haircuts for 25 clients;
- $100 will off-set the cost of a Texas State ID for 5 clients;
- $250 will pay for work boots for 7 clients starting new jobs.
- $500 will provide METRO Money bus cards for one week to 30 clients on a job search.
