Title
The Discount Foundation
Description
Since its formation in 1977, Discount has supported non-profit organizations working primarily at the community level to empower low-income and poor urban citizens to improve their communities, living conditions and opportunities. In the mid 1990s, the Discount Foundation began funding efforts to increase wages for the working poor, improve their job prospects and help them build political power. Since then, with the help of Discount and many other funders, grassroots efforts that reward work and generate good job opportunities for the poor have multiplied in number and effectiveness.
From Living Wages to Statewide Minimum Wages. The need for Living Wage laws and the underlying organizing to support this growing and effective movement have been a centerpiece of Discount grant-making. Increasingly, Discount has and will continue to support minimum wage efforts at the state level.
Immigration. Immigrants comprise a major pool of low-wage workers in the United States. Efforts to support the working poor must address the needs of this constituency.
