Your gift keeps the whole network running.

We can’t tell you exactly what $50 does. We can tell you it goes to a real line — the clinic, La Carpa, the food route, clothing, or education — and to a real family, this week.

Amount

A monthly gift is what keeps the lines running every week. A one-time gift keeps us responsive to what shows up next.

Continue to secure donation form →

You’ll confirm the amount, and choose once or monthly, on our secure Zeffy donation form. It opens in a new tab.

Part of every gift supports our administration and operations: coordination, tools, and the day-to-day running of a small nonprofit. That is what keeps the work going, and it is part of the work.

Dignity Toolkit Inc., a New York not-for-profit corporation. 501(c)(3) status is pending.

Where the money goes

Five lines. Each one runs every week, whether or not the money shows up.

Immigration Clinic

20–40 families through intake every week. Free help understanding cases and preparing paperwork. Attorney review where it counts.

clinic supplies & printing

La Carpa

A support tent outside the MDC every Saturday. A silent vigil every Tuesday. Coffee, breakfast, and gas money, rain or cold.

coffee, food & gas

Food Delivery

Groceries delivered directly to 10 families every week. The same doors, the same faces. What’s in the boxes and the gas to get there.

groceries & fuel

Clothing Distribution

Sorted by size and season, handed directly to whoever needs it. New socks, underwear, and winter gear — the things nobody donates gently used.

new essentials

Education

English classes for ~15 adults. Educational activities for 10–20 kids. Same afternoon, same building. Workbooks and supplies.

materials

Institutional support

Foundations, congregations and companies: fund capacity.

You can give the same way individuals do, or talk with us about general operating support. Flexible money lets us pay for what the week actually needs, not only what one line item allows. We don’t promise what a given amount buys.

Clinic and training

Supplies, printing, and the training that prepares volunteers before they sit with a family.

The weekly lines

The tent, the groceries, the clothing and the classes that run every week, rain or cold.

Coordination and tools

The administration and the secure tools that keep requests private, routed and followed through.

Our 501(c)(3) application is pending. See Funding & Transparency for what we can and can’t show yet.

Sharing is its own kind of giving

One share puts the network in front of someone who needs it — or someone who can fund it.

Our promise about numbers

We’re a new nonprofit. We don’t have a 990 yet. We don’t have an annual report. When we do, they’ll be at dignitytoolkit.org/funding.

What we do have today: a board of four named people, a New York DOS ID (7956767), a real clinic running every week, and a commitment to never publish an estimate as if it were a fact.

Not ready to give? Sharing still helps.
