The document discusses helping families manage wealth successfully across generations. It introduces Dr. Gary Buffone, a leading psychologist and wealth advisor who founded the Family Wealth Resource (FWR) to provide services to affluent families and their advisors. FWR offers family wealth counseling, advisor training, consulting services, and educational resources to help families and advisors address issues around affluence and intergenerational transfers of wealth.
The document discusses strategies that HR professionals can implement to support employees who are part of the "sandwich generation", caring for both children and aging parents. It defines the sandwich generation as middle-aged adults providing care to parents 65 or older while also raising children or financially supporting grown children. Some key challenges faced by these working caregivers include absenteeism, presenteeism, health declines, and financial stresses. The document provides examples of flexibility policies, benefits, resources, and education that employers can offer to help sandwich generation employees balance work and caregiving responsibilities.
Aidan was physically, sexually, and mentally abused as a child. He struggled with nightmares, lack of focus in school, bullying, and thoughts of suicide. After blurting out about his abuse to friends in high school, he received support to live with his brother but still suffered from PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, and anorexia. He saw a Kids Help Phone ad and called their counselling line, speaking for over an hour during a crisis. The counsellor's suggestion of finding a "chosen family" of close friends who support him helped Aidan realize he wasn't alone. He has since recovered and now volunteers at Kids Help Phone to help others facing similar challenges through open communication.

What Types of Grants Are Available For Single Moms?
There are many different types of grants available for single moms. The most common
include:
Business grants
Housing grants
Education grants
Federal grants are typically the most well known, although other organizations may also
provide financial assistance for single moms. Grants from other organizations include
certain limitations, though. For instance, state and local grants only apply to individuals
who live within that state, while federal grants can be used throughout the United States.
Now that you know what grants are and what types of grants are out there, lets discuss a
few different kinds of grants and how to find them.
13. If you are a single mom wanting to earn your
degree, college grants for single moms can get you
there. While most of these grants are not specifically
limited to single mothers or even women, almost all
provide for the needs of a single mom.
For instance, most are based on low income. If you are
a mom raising children in this economy without a
proper education, chances are you may not be earning
what you could be.
The good news is, you may qualify for a number of
grants.
14. Any low income student can apply for a Federal Pell Grant
by filling out a FAFSA application
at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. When filling out your FAFSA it
is extremely important to be honest and provide all the
documentation the government and your school’s financial
aid office requests. Due to a high number of fraudulent
cases in recent years, the FAFSA will ask for your
permission to obtain your tax records directly from the IRS.
Once you have enrolled in college, you may also have to
prove your enrolment by sending in a receipt indicating
payment of your tuition. With a Federal Pell Grant, you can
receive anywhere from $555 to $5,550. These grants can be
used for tuition, books, housing, and transportation to and
from school.
15. Locating state and school grants is a simple process. All
you need to do is contact your college’s financial aid
department and ask them what grants are available from
your specific school or state. They will be able to point in
the direction of many different types of grants available not
only to single moms, but grants made specifically to
support the needs of an adult student. For instance, Purdue
University, located in Indiana and found
at http://www.purdue.edu, provides a grant call the Span
Plan grant. This grant covers the tuition and books for an
adult student for one three credit-hour class, as long as the
student’s tuition is not covered fully by other grants.
16. There are a few grants made specifically for the single mother. The
Soroptimist International of Americas, which can be found at
http://www.soroptimist.org, provides a grant known as the Women’s
Opportunity Awards. This grant was designed to assistant women who
care for their entire household by themselves. Another grant, provided
by the Kalamazoo Women’s Education Coalition, caters to the financial
needs of low income women who are having a difficult time trying to
attend college.
Business Grants For Single Mothers
Government grants, at the federal, state, or local level, are available for
small businesses. It is important to note that these grants can not be
obtained specifically by a single mom, though. They are grants for the
small business, not the individual.
Also, although many grants can be found at http://www.grants.gov,
there are specific requirements regarding the size of each small
business must be met in order to be found eligible for these grants. The
requirements are set by the Small Business Administration, or SBA,
located at http://www.sba.gov.
17. $0.75 million for industries related to agriculture
$12 million for contractors in special trades
$28.5 million for construction business
$6 for retail establishments
100 employees are required for wholesale distributors and industries
500 employees are required for industries related to mining and manufacturing
While the federal government does not currently provide individual grants to
help single moms start their own businesses, they do provide resources like
training and other types of financial assistance.
For instance, the SBA offers many effective and cost-worthy loans for those who
wish to start or expand their small business.
Some states will provide certain types of grants to individuals who wish to take
a stab at entrepreneurship. For instance, Delaware’s Strategic Fund provides
grants or loans to individuals who wish to start their own business.
This state’s Strategic Fund also provides grants for small businesses who wish to
focus on Brownfield redevelopment or clean energy initiatives. Expansion
funding can also be obtained if the small business has more than 100
employees.
18. Public Housing Agency Housing Choice Voucher – The Public
Housing Agency (PHA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) join forces in order to provide single moms
and low income families with housing vouchers. This type of grant
allows single moms with low incomes to afford adequate and safe
housing for themselves and their children. While the vouchers may not
pay for your entire rent though. The amount you can receive with a
voucher varies. For every rent payment, you must contribute at least
30% of your pay check. The HUD voucher covers the rest. In order to
qualify for this voucher, you must be a U.S. citizen and have what is
considered to be a low income. You must also provide HUD with the
ability to obtain information from your employers, banks, and other
agencies to determine whether you truly qualify for the grant. HUD
itself does not provide housing grants. They give money to each state
and the state PHA accepts applications and determine whether
applicants receive these grants. If you are interested in obtaining a
HUD housing voucher, contact your local PHA. Contact details for the
Public Housing Agency in each state can be found
at http://www.hud.gov.
19. This program, which is available through each state’s HOME
program, is another grant offered by HUD that provides low
income individuals and single moms with assistance in
purchasing a home. The American Dream Down Payment
Initiative, or ADDI, pays $10,000 or 6% of the cost of your home.
In general, whichever number is higher is what the grant will pay.
They also provide you with money for closing costs and money
for dealing with health hazards in your home such as mold.
HUD distributes funds to each state’s HOME program, so you
receive money directly from your specific state. To find out more
information and locate your state’s HOME representative,
contact HUD at 1-800-998-9999 or visit http://www.hud.gov for
a complete list of each state’s HOME department contact details.
Grants for single mothers are available by many different
organizations all over the country. If you are in need of financial
assistance, take advantage of the many grants for single moms.
