<br />
In addition to the key social principals, an essential for each applicant is a solid business plan and a strategy for long term growth. The five grant recipients' receive a $12,500 grant, mentoring from internal EILEEN FISHER teams and a trip to New York City for a three-day workshop with EILEEN FISHER committee members and past grant recipients.<br />
<br />
Company founder Eileen Fisher believes that now, more than ever, is the time to instill confidence in woman entrepreneurs. "This is a terrifying time for businesses. I know how important it is to have someone believe in and validate your work," says Fisher. "I want to encourage women entrepreneurs and firmly believe that business can be used to create social change, even if the economic climate is uncertain," says Eileen.<br />
<br />
"The credit market is still tight for small businesses, even as the economy rebounds," says Cheryl Campbell, EILEEN FISHER Business Grant Facilitator. "In this economy, we want to continue to inspire women to pursue new opportunities and creative solutions that will move their businesses forward in a sustainable way."<br />
<br />
The EILEEN FISHER Business Grant Program for Woman Entrepreneurs was launched in 2004 with a single grant to commemorate the company's 20th anniversary. Since then, five grants have been awarded each year. The guidelines for the annual Women-Owned Business Program are continuing to evolve. Please check the company's website to find out more about the new ways we will be supporting women entrepreneurs.

<a href="http://cfed.org/">CFED</a> and <a href="https://www.bankofthewest.com/">Bank of the West</a> have created a new financial education guide geared specifically to VITA clients. This useful guide, available in both English and Spanish, offers tips to taxpayers on spending on "must-haves" instead of "nice-to-haves," saving for short term and long term needs, and how to take advantage of U.S. Savings Bonds, College Savings Bonds, and tax credits to make the most out of their refund. It includes a helpful worksheet for taxpayers to write out their financial goals and make a budget for how they want to spend their refund. The guide is free to download and can be accessed at the <a href="http://cfed.org/knowledge_center/publications/savings_financial_security/financial_education_guide_for_vita_programs/">CFED website.</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825782256030741729.post-51657232641659015152011-11-29T13:10:00.001-05:002011-11-29T16:35:52.748-05:00Seminar for Girls Interested in Applied Engineering & TechnologyDo you know a female junior in high school with a keen interest in science and technology?

College really does go beyond your major and the classes you take. For many, it offers the first taste of financial independence. And whether you're applying for financial aid or managing your first credit card, the experience can be daunting.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cccsdv.org/education/education-calendar/2011-11-19/going-college-financial-aid-and-financial-independence">That's why Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Delaware Valley (CCCS) and our FinanciallyHers program are excited to partner with Citibank to present: "Going to College: Financial Aid ...and Financial Independence"</a><br />
<br />
Hosted by uFinancial Representative Michele Burkholder, this workshop will provide students and their families with the information they need for the journey to college, including:<br />
<br />
- How to read and complete the FAFSA<br />
- Cashing in on on being a college student<br />
- Getting a strong financial footing for life<br />

<a href="http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-11-11/obama-said-to-plan-gold-card-to-help-veterans-find-employment.html">Last week, President Barack Obama issued three executive orders which will focus on helping veterans find jobs</a>. The plan includes the creation of a "Veteran Gold Card," a downloadable document giving post-9/11 veterans access to case management and counseling at 3,000 Labor Department operated career centers across the United States. As many as 200,000 unemployed veterans may benefit from the creation of this program.<br />
<br />
In addition, Obama announced the launch of a Labor Department job search <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/joiningforces/resources">website</a>. The website can match a veteran's military occupation with civilian employment. The website also provides salary and apprenticeship information as well as a job bank with more than 500,000 job listings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825782256030741729.post-47033755882216576412011-11-07T11:15:00.003-05:002011-11-07T11:15:38.480-05:00November 18, 2011 - The Homeless Advocacy Project and PECO Present a Free Birth Certificate Clinic<br />

<br />
The Homeless Advocacy Project and PECO Present a Free Birth Certificate Clinic<br />
<br />
When: Friday, November 18, 2011 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.<br />
Where: Project H.O.M.E., 1515 Fairmount Avenue, (Backspace), Philadelphia, PA 19130<br />
Who: Open (and free of charge) to homeless individuals and families and those at risk of homelessness<br />

<br />
The website serves as a place where the national community of Bank On initiatives, organizations and individuals can share resources and information supporting financial access for low-and moderate-income Americans. The website includes several new and exciting features including the <a href="http://webtools.joinbankon.org/community/search">Research Your Community</a> tool, which allows users to get maps and estimates on the number of unbanked and underbanked households in their local communities. (“Unbanked” refers to someone who does not have a checking or savings account, while an “underbanked” person is someone who has an account, but still relies on other financial services such as payday loans, check cashing services, pawn shops, etc. which often end up depleting financial resources.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825782256030741729.post-73737397926538330662011-10-03T10:54:00.005-04:002011-10-03T10:54:51.463-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On September 13th, DPW released the new Child Care Works co-pay scale in accordance with mandated savings of $16 million from the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The parameters laid out in the budget bill stated that a new minimum co-pay of $5 would be set in place (although the Department may waive this in some cases), that the co-pays could be per family or per child and the new co-pays cannot exceed 8% of family income for families living at 100% of the federal poverty level or 11% of family incomes for families who live above 100% of the federal poverty level. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Under the new co-pay scale, which will become effective October 3, 2011, states that co- pays are per family, not per child. We have been told by DPW that co-pays will be waived for families without earned income who are receiving TANF.<br />

<br />
Do you get food stamps?<br />
Did you lose food during a power outage or flood?<br />
Ask for replacement food stamps to get new food!<br />
<br />
If you get food stamps and you lost food during a power outage or flood, tell the welfare office right away. You may qualify for replacement food stamps.<br />
<br />
To get replacement food stamps, you must ask within 10 days of when your food spoiled. Contact your local welfare office or the Philadelphia Customer Service Center at (215) 560-7226. Better yet, put your request in writing and get a receipt.<br />
<br />
You will have to complete a form saying how much food you lost. The law allows you to get replacement food stamps for the amount of food that you lost -- up to one month’s benefits. <br />
<br />
You may also have to prove that you had a power outage or flood. To get proof from PECO, call (800) 494-4000.<br />
<br />
If your power is still off, call PECO at (800) 841-4141 to make sure PECO knows.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3825782256030741729.post-28553441958304738672011-08-30T14:31:00.000-04:002011-08-30T14:31:47.438-04:00Veterans Benefits Assistance<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>In order to better serve Philadelphia neighborhoods that may not have access to fresh foods, the Food Trust and Philadelphia Department of Public Health are introducing the Philly Food Bucks for those receiving SNAP (food stamps) to use their benefits at participating local farmers' markets. The Program will give those who use SNAP benefits to purchase food from participating farmers' markets $2 in Philly Food Bucks for every $5 of benefits they spend. </div><br />
Many of the Food Trust's farmers' markets accept EBT/Access Cards (SNAP/ food stamps), Philly Food Bucks, and Farmers' Market Nutrition Program vouchers. Participating farmers' markets are located in a variety of neighborhoods.<br />
