ime for Change Foundation (TFCF), a nonprofit agency providing housing and supportive services to homeless women and children is pleased to announce it has received a major source of funding from the Weingart Foundation which is one of the rare funders who provides core operating support. The funding received will assist with sustainability of the agency and its mission which is to help homeless women and children break out of homelessness and reclaim their lives. TFCF is devoted to improving the quality of life for families by ensuring that underserved women and children who are facing homelessness are able to gain self-sufficiency and maintain housing. Weingart Foundation’s goal to improve the capacity and effectiveness of nonprofit organizations delivering quality services in the areas of health, human services, and education for people and communities in need, directly correlates with the programs and services TFCF provides. TFCF’s programs utilizes an array of evidence based programs and trauma informed services which allows women to heal while building a new way of life. “We are so happy that the Weingart Foundation has recognized the needs of this community and are supporting our work to solve homelessness by ensuring our operations management and fundraising reaches the next level,” said Executive Director, Kim Carter. “Without commitment and support of the Weinguart Foundation we would not be able to provide essential services to our clients.” According to the Weingart Foundation, “we are committed to focusing our resources on activities that produce results. This involves funding organizations that demonstrate ability and commitment to achieving strong governance, leadership, management, and effective practices, along with clearly defined organizational and program objectives that are consistent with our mission and focus.”
