Programs

Essentials Project

The Essentials Project meets families where they are —wherever they are in real life. We provide everyday necessities—food, hygiene supplies, infant supplies, and household basics—because stability is the first step toward hope. When an individual or family knows tomorrow’s needs are covered, the future opens wider. The Essentials Project isn’t just support; it’s a bridge that alleviates financial burdens and provides temporary relief during challenging times.

One Cent Budget Plan

Our One Cent Budget Plan is designed to guide people from poverty to prosperity. Our three-month program teaches students the fundamentals of credit, how to understand their credit report, and how to develop and maintain a budget. Each student receives a comprehensive budget spreadsheet and reimbursement of the fee for attendance at a PFP-approved Financial Freedom course.

Rising Scholars Project

The Rising Scholars Project steps into the school year with purpose, meeting students in underserved schools where they are and ensuring they have what they need right now to thrive. We provide essential resources — such as school supplies, uniforms, shoes, winter coats, and more — so every child can walk into the classroom prepared, confident, and seen. And we don’t stop with students. We stand beside teachers, too, supplying classroom necessities and filling the quiet gaps that often go unnoticed but matter deeply. When educators feel supported, students feel it too. The Rising Scholars Project is hope in action, breaking down barriers one backpack, one warm coat, one sharpened pencil at a time. Because when a child is equipped today, their future becomes brighter tomorrow. Futures rise the moment needs are met.
