Overview

LIFT helps families move out of poverty by pairing personalized coaching with direct cash support for parents. Through one-on-one coaching, parents set practical goals like returning to school, building credit, paying down debt, or earning a living wage, and receive cash infusions to reinvest in their plans. Services are delivered nationwide through partnerships with colleges, governments, and health systems, with sites in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. The goal is to create economic mobility for families by combining guidance with immediate financial support, breaking the cycle of poverty.
