Modest Needs
Modest Needs - Welcome to Modest Needs
This is a charity that funnels all donations into grants to people in need. From what I read, the grants are on the order of a couple of hundred dollars, but that is often enough to help people avoid becoming homeless when they have a run of bad luck.
They don't spend money on advertising, etc. There is an online FAQ with the details. This is of particular interest to me because I think a lot of charities have too much administrative overhead. Very few organizations are efficient as some Catholic nuns I have known and I am very sad that there seem to be fewer and fewer women with vocations.
At Modest Needs, we work to stop the cycle of poverty BEFORE it starts by helping individuals and families to overcome the challenges posed by an unexpected, temporary financial hardship. We do this by remitting payment for small, unexpected expenses that would otherwise threaten a family's ability to remain self-sufficient, with the goal of PREVENTING those persons we are able to assist from entering the cycle of poverty in the first place.
