The Restorative Reentry Fund
Donate to support a Guaranteed Income for Reentering Citizens
We are no longer accepting donations on this campaign, but there are other ways for you to support us today!
Community Works has received seed funding to pilot the nation's first guaranteed income program for individuals reentering the community post-incarceration. The project is funded by the Remy Fund for Racial and Environmental Justice and COVID-19: A Just East Bay Response Fund at the East Bay Community Foundation.
Our long-term goal is to explore what level of cash assistance creates time, peace of mind, and freedom for recipients to explore their interests, take risks, and pursue opportunities that lead to fulfillment and wealth building.
Community Works is engaged in local, state, and national policy efforts to advance GI. As conversations about universal basic income move from pilot to policy, it is critical that we learn from recipients closest to the issues and provide opportunities and support for them to lead these initiatives. A key aspect of the Restorative Reentry Fund is providing leadership and advocacy opportunities for former recipients who express interest in this work.
Your support will help us to expand the scope and impact of the Restorative Reentry Fund so we can collect data on best practices and outcomes for this program, and make the case for using GI as a tool to help people reenter their communities fully and end cycles of violence, poverty, and incarceration.
