Center for Student Opportunity
There’s something special about being the first…especially being among the first in your family to attend and graduate from college. That’s where Center for Student Opportunity (CSO) comes in. CSO is a national nonprofit based in Bethesda, Md. that works to empower first-generation college students on the path to and through college. We define “first-generation college student” as anyone whose parents or guardians have not completed a four-year college degree.We know that for students who don’t have a family history of higher education, being the first to go to college requires support and encouragement sometimes not found at home, in school, or in the community.

SUNNYVALE COMMUNITY SERVICES
Sunnyvale Community Services (SCS) is designated as the Emergency Assistance Network agency (EAN) for all zip codes in Sunnyvale, CA. As the safety net agency in our community, SCS addresses immediate critical needs to help families and seniors stay housed with food on the table and utilities turned on as they work toward self-sufficiency. We serve every eligible client who comes to us for help, never turning anyone away due to lack of resources - even though that has become increasingly challenging with the rapidly growing need for our help. Our clients are Sunnyvale residents and homeless families. Last year we served over 6,800 individuals, disbursing nearly $800,000 in financial aid. Families receiving financial aid received a personalized 3-month budget to help them get back on track. As one of the largest partners of Second Harvest Food Bank, we engage over 1,000 volunteers help to distribute 850 tons of nutritious food and fresh produce annually. In the last three years, SCS has built a strong foundation in comprehensive case management for homeless individuals as well as seniors and families in crisis. We have collaborated on new health and wellness programs to support healthy nutrition and financial education and credit repair to help clients become self-sufficient. In 2015, we launched our Supportive Services for Veterans Families, funded by the U.S. Veterans Administration to assist veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to move into stable housing.

Neuropathy Alliance of Texas
In 2009 Nancy Herlin and Marjory Haddix met and shared their experiences of caring for a family member with CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy). After realizing how comforting it was to talk with someone who had been through similar experiences, the two decided to start an organization for people in the Austin area affected by neuropathy in order to share information and provide support in the journey with neuropathy. The two found others interested in achieving the same goals and who wanted and needed those goals to be met.

Akhuwat USA
One of Akhuwat’s primary deviations from conventional microfinance is that it charges no interest rates. Akhuwat has sought to base its movement on the principles of Qarz-e-Hassn found in the Islamic tradition, which entails helping someone in need with interest-free loans, a practice favored over charity and doles. While drawing on the tradition of Qarz-e-Hassn, Akhuwat has, over time, grown to incorporate many of the lessons learned from conventional microfinance movements from across the globe, as well.
