Who We Are
Commonwealth Grants is a dedicated financial assistance initiative designed to bridge the gap for those the modern economy often leaves behind. We believe that financial stability is a fundamental human right, not a privilege reserved for the lucky few.
Our organization was founded on a simple premise: No one should face a life transition alone. Whether you are navigating the quiet years of retirement, the sudden grief of widowhood, the challenges of a disability, or the exhaustion of working multiple jobs without making ends meet, Commonwealth Grants is here to offer a hand up.
Our Mission
To provide direct, accessible, and life changing personal grants to vulnerable individuals including retirees, widows, the disabled, and the underemployed empowering them to regain financial dignity and long term stability.
Our Vission
A world where every individual, regardless of their employment status or physical ability, has the resources to live a life of security, dignity, and hope.
Who We Serve
We focus our resources on five specific pillars of our community that are often overlooked by traditional banking and government systems:
* The Retired & Seniors: For those who have spent a lifetime contributing to society but now find their fixed incomes stretched thin by rising costs.
* Widows & Grieving Families: Providing a Financial First Aid kit for those who have lost a partner and are struggling to manage the sudden economic burden of a single income household.
* The Unemployed & Career Transitioners: Offering short term relief for those seeking work, ensuring that a temporary loss of a job does not lead to a permanent loss of a home.
* Individuals with Disabilities: Helping to cover specialized costs, accessibility needs, and living expenses for those whose ability to work is limited by physical or mental health challenges.
* Full & Part Time Workers (The Working Poor): Supporting those who are doing everything right working hard every day but still find themselves unable to cover emergency repairs, medical bills, or essential life costs.
Why choose
Unlike traditional loans, our grants are non repayable. We are not a bank; we are a community funded bridge to your next chapter.
* Dignity First: Our application process is designed to be respectful and streamlined. We do not believe in red tape that makes people feel like they are begging for help.
* Radical Transparency: Every dollar donated to our fund is tracked. We provide our community with annual impact reports showing exactly how many families were saved from eviction or how many retirees received medical assistance.
* Community Powered: We are funded by a network of global donors who believe in the power of the Commonwealth the idea that our collective wealth should benefit the common good.
Our Impact at a Glance
Inspired by the Penny Appeal model of Small Change, Big Difference, we focus on the power of collective giving.

How We Work

* Review: Our committee of social advocates and financial experts reviews each case based on urgency and long term impact.
* Disbursement: Funds are sent directly to the individual or the service provider (landlord, utility company, etc.) to ensure the grant solves the immediate crisis.
