PARTNERS & DONATIONS
To our Donors, Sponsors, and Supporters:
We are looking for those willing to partner with us to help enrich the life experience of our women i.e. restaurants, gyms, training programs, and financial sponsors.
DNNC Steps to Success program has informally helped mostly low-income black women obtain their manicurist license to earn a living wage. We’ve also provided our participants with social skills training to improve the quality of their lives and that of their children. We believe that when more mothers are skilled and financially stable, children are more successful in life and everyone in our society wins!
Over the years, we have witnessed how our efforts have broken generational cycles of poverty and dysfunction. It is a joy to see! At the same time, we have seen demand for our program grow.
According to the CDC, of 10 million low-income working families with children, 39% are headed by single working mothers or about 4.1 million. Single-parent families are among the poorest in the nation and as such, are extremely vulnerable to homelessness. Among all homeless families nationwide, over three quarters were headed by single women with children. These statistics along with Delane' s own life experience is what inspires and drives this program.
Your gift provides critical support to ensure the young women in our program reach their full potential. When you lift up a single mother you lift up an entire family future.
Thank you for contributing to the beginnings of a program that has and will continue to improve the lives of women, families and children resulting in a better world for us all! .

Donor Comment
“One of the salon’s clients, Ruth Adar, an Oakland rabbi, was “blown away” when she discovered Sims’ salon, not only because of the special foot care needed for her wife but for the social commitment involved. “The fact that there was mentoring and job training and life training in her small business and giving other women a leg up — absolutely amazing,” Adar said.
What impressed Adar the most is Sims’ efforts to embrace her clients — if they so desire — as part of the mentoring experience for her staff. Adar said. “It’s really a remarkable arrangement.”
