Give
Every Dollar We Raise Goes Directly to Serving People.
All of our overhead is covered. When someone is between jobs, questioning their direction, or navigating a career transition without a clear path forward — your gift provides something that can change their life. Not just a next job. A new sense of who they are and where they're headed.

A Paterson LifePlan is one of the most powerful things we offer - a full-day intensive that helps someone map their entire future. The cost to sponsor one person's LifePlan: $6,000.

When Crisis Hits a Community
When a plant closes or a company lets 75 people go without warning, those workers need help fast. 2nd Act can mobilize — onboarding dozens of people in a week, providing immediate vocational support the way disaster relief organizations show up after a storm.
We saw this firsthand in Baldwin, WI — 75 metal workers laid off in February with no notice, no PTO, no severance. That kind of response costs around $18-20K to do right.
If you're in a position to fund that kind of response, we want to talk.
