Where Your Money Goes

Transparency is essential to us. We want every donor to know how their gift impacts our programs and community. Here’s a breakdown of how your contribution is used to fuel Second Chance’s mission:

Direct Program Support

A significant portion of every dollar directly supports our job training and workforce development mission. This funding allows us to maintain and expand our deconstruction, salvage, and retail operations, where trainees gain essential skills.

Materials and Supplies

Running a deconstruction and retail program requires specialized tools, safety equipment, and storage facilities. Donations help us secure the resources needed to conduct safe, efficient operations and maximize material reuse.

Community Outreach

Donations enable us to expand our reach within Baltimore and connect with people and organizations that can benefit from our services. Whether it’s partnering with local builders, developers, or government agencies, community support allows us to grow our impact.
