Canary has given out $$ to 20 people affected by #hurricane Ian so far, through partnerships with great companies like @_Visionworks !

Great research from @intelligentcom_ ! The top 3 reasons parents dip into their college savings for their kids are all areas that Canary currently helps with. These are the ripple effects of a financial shock that we want people to avoid.

This was such a powerful conversation @entrepreneurjim about how individuals and families cope with financial stress and how employers can step up and help their employees through emergency financial support. Every organization needs @workwithcanary

All great stuff, and I'm sure there were plenty other statements that we missed. To see the work being done is energizing!

"International Day for the Eradication of Poverty can be traced back to 17 October 1987". tbh we were not as aware of this as we could have been. Yet it is amazing to see great organizations who care about financial health taking it as a moment to reflect 🧵

Poverty is multidimensional.

We will not succeed in ending poverty unless we work to jointly tackle all of its dimensions. #EndPoverty Day

Good read: "banks are inherently fragile creatures"...Bernanke won a Nobel prize for a concept that could be applied to individuals: bank bailouts and Canary grants have a lot in common. Liquidity and solvency to stop a vicious cycle.

"In the Great Recession, we saw, in real time, the direct application of macroeconomic theories to the saving of the actual macroeconomy, by one of the researchers who created the theories in the first place."

We are so proud to partner with @GreenPath in this work. Not only has GreenPath Grant Circle supported employees in times of need, it has also helped the company retain strong employees who may have left in times of personal hardship.

Taking care of employees is the right thing to do. Interview with @workwithcanary about the employee hardship relief fund program tells the full story: https://t.co/LAeWtlrQG6

[Canary @workwithcanary]

@PhilFedResearch found that 1.3 American million households employed pre-pandemic are now about $5,400 in debt on rent and utilities. So many struggle to make ends meet even in normal times and this is exactly why we developed #GrantCircle.

Emergency cash grants have a huge impact for #homehealth workers. We recently released a Q&A with Arosa+@livhome to share their story and are excited to have new clients in health care. We'd love to hear your questions about #cashgrants for #caregivers!

[Canary @workwithcanary]

We're proud to be providing our hardship fund to #caregivers in the #homehealth industry. Thank you to @HHCareNews for highlighting our clients Arosa+@livhome and their commitment of support to their team members with #GrantCircle.

Our CEO @RachelSchneider sat down with @VikrumAiyer to discuss the modern #socialsafetynet and how emergency relief grants can be a valuable resource for @Postmates fleet members. Check out our latest Q&A to learn more about this exciting new partnership! https://t.co/ZduvvBHAXZ

[Canary @workwithcanary]

We never expected to launch our emergency relief fund during a pandemic. What we’ve seen since is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

On our blog, @RachelSchneider shares how we have partnered with our #GrantCircle clients during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/vizNWvwfEk

[Commonwealth @buildcommwealth]

Early results from @workwithcanary's #GrantCircle pilot findings echo our findings with @workerslab #WorkersStrengthFund earlier this year: cash grants help employees avoid late fees, utility interruptions & absence or lateness from work. https://t.co/7gJYnRLQXN
