At our annual event, Funding Futures, we feature a curated local vendor market of spectacular small businesses. Meet one of our local event vendors: Doo Process! dooProcess is a spin-off of the legal term Due Process, which refers to "fair treatment through the judicial system, as a citizens entitlement." They are a street-wear clothing brand that advocates for social justice, not only through their design but by their mission as well.

We are thrilled to partner with Chad Williams, the founder of dooProcess, and have his clothing line available at the event!

Beyond tuition, college can involve hidden costs like housing, textbooks, food, and transportation. These expenses can weigh heavily on low-income students and minority groups who may have fewer financial resources.

Hear from cofounder, David Gonzalez, about why Arbol Community Fund came to be!

It’s been a little while since we’ve been active on social media, so allow us to reintroduce ourselves over the next few weeks! 🎓

Arbol + Arbol Community Fund exist to holistically support college students with managing their finances. Arbol provides proactive financial literacy training and guidance, and Arbol Community Fund kicks in when there are still gaps that could lead to dropping out.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to obtain a higher education!

At Arbol Community Fund, our mission is to democratize education opportunities for all and create a more equitable world by removing financial barriers to higher education.

We are dedicated to supporting low-income, first-generation college students who are at risk of dropping out due to financial constraints. By matching emergency funds at local colleges and universities, we are doubling the amount of support available to students!

📣 UPDATE: Date change for the 3rd annual Funding Futures event to Thursday, August 29. The event will still be hosted at Resurgence Brewing Co from 6-9 PM.

Waiting is hard, but trust us, this event is worth the wait! We're looking forward to celebrating the start of another school year and raising funds to support local college students dealing with financial emergencies. Lloyds will have the burrittos, Resurgence will have the brews, and we'll bring the impact stories to share how much your support last year did for our community!
