D.
We are gratefully requesting $10,000 to support the continued programming of Adelante Mujeres with
the increased demand by our community due to COVID-19. At Adelante Mujeres, we know we will get
through this, but in order to do so, we need to work together. Now more than ever, we need partners like
you.
We serve the most vulnerable community during this crisis. The vast majority of those impacted are
low-income individuals. Due to our commitment to the community, we are continuing to provide services
through the following programs:
• Education: Early Childhood and Adult Education, Chicas Youth Development, and Beyond Trauma.
• Microenterprise: Empresas Small Business, Sustainable Agriculture, Farmers Market, and Nourish the
Community.
• Leadership: Civic Leaders and Immigrant Solidarity.
We are providing the following during these challenging times to our participants:
• Virtual case management (through Zoom) for all participants throughout our 10 programs that provides
education for preschoolers to adults, trauma-informed support, youth mentoring, leadership and
advocacy, and business coaching to our small business owners.
• Ensuring that our 55+ Latino-owned small businesses are receiving the critical support and resources
needed.
• Providing our 156+ Forest Grove Latina youth to have accurate information to access food and critical
supplies to ensure learning is ongoing. Additionally, to have video conferences and phone calls with
participants and/or family members to continue mentoring support.
• Ensuring our Latino, immigrant community is receiving accurate information on a daily basis and that
they are connected with the right resource group and/or partner in terms of health, food, and shelter
needs.
Some key highlights of ongoing programming:
• Virtual GED classes to ensure our Adult Education Latina women are prepared for their GED exams.
• Chicas College and Career Coordinator supporting high school juniors and seniors with one-on-one
mentoring.
• All staff will prepare and deliver weekly culturally-responsive messaging to all participants regarding
COVID-19.
• Virtual Beyond Trauma (trauma-informed care) classes to our adult students and community members.
Adelante staff provides safety and comfort for participants. With the support of the City of Forest Grove,
we will ensure our most critical needs are met:
• Personnel support to ensure direct programming is ongoing by our dedicated staff.
• Increased communication/IT needs to facilitate employees working from home.

With support from the City of Forest Grove we will provide the following tasks:
Virtual Case Management (Timeline: April -June 30): Continue to provide direct services to
ensure participants and their family members are receiving adequate, culturally-responsive
support. This will be done with the following programs: Education, Microenterprise, and
Leadership Programs. Some key highlights of ongoing COVID-19 responsive programming:
• One-on-one phone calls with our Early Childhood Education families (we hold 3 Early Head
Start classrooms in Forest Grove) to ensure they have the essential tools and services in their
household (e.g., diapers, food, access to Internet).
• Supporting small businesses to access capital and receive ongoing coaching. This includes
weekly check-ins with Latino farm business owners.
We have been fortunate to have received and managed CEP grants and associated projects
since 2006. CEP has supported Adelante Mujeres with our Farmers Market, Chicas Youth
Development Program, and Early Childhood Education. As dedicated partners, we are
appreciative of your trust in our organization and that of our staff to deliver key
culturally-responsive programming to our shared community.
We are supported by private foundations, corporations, local and federal government, and
private donors. Adelante Mujeres is prepared to continue this critical work due to our 17 years
of continuous growth as a culturally-specific organization grounded in our long-term
commitment to the immigrant community.
We work with several other partners that provide assistance with and access to shelters, food,
and utilities, such as the Forest Grove School District, the Oregon Food Bank, and Comcast.
We are a key liaison for our community members who seek support first from Adelante
Mujeres, a trusted organization, prior to reaching out to other social services. By working
together, we will get through this, not only for our organization, but most importantly for our
community members.
