OSCIP since 2009 — Wholevital Collective

Together we flourish.
Alone we forget how.

We sustain free community circles, school tutoring, and stay-in-school grants — so that no one starts over alone, nor is refused for lack of funds.

1,240 grants
funded in 2025

Every weekly circle is free, and each sponsored spot goes to someone whose only obstacle was the cost.

02 / Mission

We exist so that people can feel whole again — through free listening, accessible learning, and honest conversation. What heals in one person reaches everyone else they touch. That's why we keep the door open for the next.

Belief
A neighborhood's life changes one classroom at a time.
Practice
Listening circles, school support, and grief counseling—delivered by trained staff.
Promise
Free-first approach, public accountability, and no empty talk.

03 / Causes

Three causes. One single intention.

A listening circle, a tutoring class, a food basket at the door. The form changes. The intention — that no one starts over alone — does not.

/ 01 Education

Tutoring that recovers a lost school year.

Educational support, teaching materials, and attendance tracking in local communities. For children whom public waitlists would leave behind.

/ 02 Care & Listening

/ 03 Dignity

No one is refused due to lack of funds.

Food baskets, hygiene kits, and grants sustained by donors. Last year we provided 1,240 spots — each one a person who asked for help and heard yes.

04 / Impact

Told in four ways, felt in only one.

The real work happens eye-to-eye, in a sincere “how are you?”, in the first full night of sleep. The numbers are just a snapshot of that.
