BLOOM AGAIN FOUNDATION
Bridging the Gap Between Health & Hope
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The mission of Bloom Again Foundation is to provide rapid response financial assistance to economically vulnerable working women when they need it most due to personal or family medical emergencies. Millions of these women are one paycheck away from poverty. With no savings, equity or any other immediate financial assistance, and no paid time off of work, they scrape together what’s needed to get by from paycheck to paycheck without federal assistance, but one illness in the family, a car accident, or other medical emergency is life-changing for them. A gift from Bloom Again Foundation provides working women living at or near the poverty level with the security and peace of mind needed to recover from incapacitating illnesses or maintain their households during medical emergencies. Over 90% of donations go directly to women in financial need.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
A gift from Bloom Again Foundation provides working women living at or near the poverty level with the security and peace of mind needed to recover from incapacitating illnesses or maintain their households during medical emergencies. We provide living essentials (rent, food, utilities, etc.) while they are enduring therapy with the goal in mind of helping them get through to a return to work or another funding source can takeover (Long-term disability, etc.).
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
All of the women referred to Bloom Again where identified by one of our strategic partner organizations within the communities we serve. These organizations vet the women and understand their circumstances. They refer the women in need and provide us with details about the medical need that has occurred and what would be needed to get the woman back on her feet, back to work. The funds we send to the landlord or utility companies come straight from donors, sponsors, and grantors.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a strong and diverse working board of directors who have many passionate and loyal supporters in our database of donors and potential supporters and sponsors. We have a strong list of ongoing recurring donors that support our mission and work.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have accomplished doubling our operating fund, allowing us to help more women this year. Fundraising is our overall goal for this next year. We use these funds to directly impact the lives of women and families by paying rent, and utilities. Our goal is to help women for the entire duration of their medical incapacitation to make a more meaningful difference.
