Greetings!

What does it take to help people prosper and thrive even in the most challenging of times?
At Monument Impact, we believe that it takes putting people first to set our entire community up for success.

We put people first by listening to our community and making sure we are responsive to their changing and often urgent needs. Right now, we’re hearing how our immigrant and low-income neighbors desperately need community stabilization. They face ongoing uncertainty—about the economy, housing, and jobs. Too many are struggling to recover financially at a time when rent costs well over 50 percent of their income and inflation consumes what little wages they have left to cover basic necessities like food and gas.

Jazmin, was a local tenant in Antioch facing eviction and dealing with an inhabitable apartment who we met as a result of our door-knocking efforts. We connected her with legal aid, accompanied her to her eviction proceeding, and amplified her leadership to advocate for rent stabilization in Antioch before the city council. In the end, she was displaced, but through our Relief & Recovery Fund, we provided Jazmin with the resources she needed to find a new home for her and her children.

We are so grateful for donors like you who help Monument Impact support community members who are most in need and work with them to help stabilize their housing, improve their financial resilience, and much more. In fact, this year to date, the generosity of our supporters has allowed Monument Impact to put over 6,700 people first—through our workforce training, mental health, emerging business support for immigrant entrepreneurs, community organizing, Relief Fund, and other programs!
Your donation will help us grow and serve even more people in 2023! We are raising $20,000 by December 31st to support our work at a time when so many of our neighbors are having difficulties making ends meet and need our support the most.
Whether you are a longtime supporter of Monument Impact or donating for the first time, your gift helps thousands of individuals and their families every year. Together, we can build people-first communities where everyone, regardless of where they come from or how much money they have, is able to find belonging, have safe, stable jobs and homes, and nourish their health and well-being.

Help us put people first by listening and responding to their needs, donate today!
In gratitude,
Judith Ortiz
Executive Director
