Horizon Foundation
As part of their 2021 Community Opportunity Grants Program, Horizon Foundation has awarded Humanim with a grant in support of the organization’s racial equity training journey. The grant will fund a partnership with the Racial Equity Institute (REI) and provide racial equity training to current/future Board members, leadership and employees. This training initiative is part of the organization’s strategic plan goal of employing evidenced based practice, research and data in the diversity, equity, and inclusion arena, for the good of all stakeholders and individuals served.
Abell Foundation
In partnership with Obran Cooperative—the first worker-owned conglomerate corporation in the United States—Humanim’s DSP Apprenticeship Program received a grant from the Abell Foundation to support a collaborative approach to job training, worker ownership and economic equity. Expanding the scale of the DSP Apprenticeship and adding a cooperative component, will afford even more individuals, particularly women and youth, the opportunity to explore the direct support field and find autonomy and financial equity in the work they do. Our objective is to improve caregiver’s lives by investing in the employee through improved wages and benefits. This ultimately means better stability in the life of the employee and their families, as well as improved care for the individuals served.
Truist Foundation
