Self Sufficiency
Financial self-sufficiency is the cornerstone of a free and fulfilled life, and something that all women and their families deserve. If you have developed a plan to become financially self-sufficient but need a little assistance in getting there, the WIN Self Sufficiency Program (SSP) may be the right fit for you!
The WIN Self-Sufficiency Program (SSP) provides financial assistance to women who have developed a plan to become and remain self-sufficient through training/education, co-operative development, business or personal development, or other life-changing opportunities.
While SSP money is often requested to help with tuition, the program is designed to help with many other forms of attaining self-sufficiency as well. Applications in the past have covered the costs of a small business startup, childcare while attending training, printing costs of a self-published book, and exam fees. Whatever your plan is, your application should outline in detail exactly how the money from WIN will help you become and remain self-sufficient. Support is provided based upon the application, eligibility criteria and referrals from other local community organizations which support women.
WIN exists today because of a very small startup loan, and therefore we know that sometimes all it takes is a little support to start. All monetary donations to WIN go into our self-sufficiency fund, which means that they go directly to women in our community.
