A nonprofit fundraiser supporting

Better Futures Minnesota

Better Futures needs your help to purchase 8 vehicles so we can transport our work crews!

$50,000 goal

Half way there!

Update posted 5 years ago

Very exciting to receive a donation to get us halfway to our goal!  The goal of $50,000 will allow us to replace two trucks.  This is crucial to our nonprofit because 40% of our revenue is earned.  And with that we employ our participants in various jobs.  These trucks allow our participants to get from job site to job site - sustaining the nonprofit and allowing them to earn a livable wage!


Please join me today in supporting the hard work that needs to happen in our community!


Sincerely,

Sara Christenson

Secretary, Board Member

Better Futures MN 

Better Futures Minnesota (BFM) fuels and guides a man's desire to turn his life around and walk a new path toward better health and success. We also focus on changing the unjust systems and practices that produce poor results, perpetuate inequities, and sustain cycles of social exclusion experienced by formerly incarcerated, African American men.


Better Futures is creating new jobs for formerly incarcerated Black men, but we have hit a roadblock. We need 8 new or used crew cab pickups to transport our work crews to job sites. The estimated cost for 8 used trucks is $160,000. 

 

Our current fleet is old, unreliable and costly. Along with replacing the current fleet, we need more vehicles to pursue new business opportunities.
