X FUND

“Do you need my help?”

It’s how Orphan X answers the phone every time someone dials his encrypted number. And on the other end of the line—a victim with nowhere else to turn. But as of late, he’s been asking a

different question:

“Can we have your help?”

The X Fund provides direct relief to those in danger of falling through gaps in America’s safety nets. Many folks live on the financial edge. Nearly half of Americans cannot cover a $400 emergency. That's where we step in to help deserving, hard-working individuals get back on their feet after a crisis strikes. Our missions have included:

• Furnishing a high school in rural Tennessee with a new computer lab after devastating flood damage.
• Housing a homeless family with a sick infant until the baby recovered and the family could find work and housing.
• Helping a woman who was living out of her car alongside her dog find work and a roof over her head.
• Setting up a literacy program for homeless, pregnant mothers in Los Angeles in partnership with Harvest Home, a charity providing 28 of the 70 shelter beds designated for soon-to-be-mothers in LA.

As the fund is a 501c3, all donations are tax deductible, and 95% of money raised goes directly to those who need it, not to overhead.

After Orphan X completes a mission, he asks his client for only one thing: to find someone else in need. In this spirit, once X Fund provides help, we ask the deserving recipient to pick someone else to whom we will give $250, a final act of empowerment. This ensures that the cycle of charity occurs at a local level and reinforces the values of giving and gratitude within that community.

We ask for your help, no matter how small.

Because anyone can be a hero.

The X Fund is a project of US the Story Charitable Giving, which is a 501c3 public charity, and all donations are tax-deductible.
