Donors/Awards

MERN functions largely on grants and contracts awarded by government entities, but such funding often comes with very specific rules regarding what it can and cannot be used for. Very little material support for the people we serve (pillows and blankets, basic toiletries, or starter clothing, for example) is allowable under that kind of funding. It also tends to stay static, meaning there are no increased funding levels from year to year for cost-of-living salary adjustment or inflationary prices. MERN therefore relies on the generous support of individual donors like you in order to fill in the gaps and meet the needs of the moment for reentering citizens.

Below, we recognize both the agencies that have funded us and the individual donors that have made it possible for us to accomplish our objectives well.
