Is Your Organization Facing These Challenges?

Many community organizations recognize that direct financial assistance could greatly benefit the people they serve, whether it's funds for basic needs, flexible cash to pursue goals like education or entrepreneurship, or rental assistance paid to a landlord.

But the reality is that implementing effective financial assistance programs requires significant administrative capacity:

Distributing and tracking payments
Managing participant eligibility and intake
Providing ongoing support and troubleshooting
Ensuring security and compliance
Measuring and reporting outcomes
Providing ongoing case management
Coordination between finance departments and program staff

This administrative burden often exceeds staff bandwidth, creating an unfortunate gap between the desire to provide financial support and the capacity to do so effectively.

Held Exists to Bridge This Gap

By handling the implementation, reporting, and evaluation of financial assistance programs, Held enables community organizations to focus on service provision while transforming lives with cash assistance.

Through our partnership model we have already helped 7 organizations distribute over $260,000 to over 100 households need. We did all this while allowing our partners to continue doing the work they do offering social, mental, and emotional support.
