Steel Harbor

Impact & use of funds

Every dollar has to respect the people it came from.

Steel Harbor is being built for workers and trade families. Support should be used carefully, documented clearly, and aimed at practical outreach, education, resources, and privacy-first support connections.

What support helps build

Practical support, not empty slogans.

Resource cards and printed materials

Short, practical cards for jobsites, shops, trucks, break rooms, pro desks, union halls, family tables, and community events.

Grief and loss resources

Plainspoken support pathways for child loss, suicide loss, jobsite accidents, overdose loss, illness, traumatic loss, and family grief.

Suicide prevention awareness

Worker-focused education around warning signs, direct check-ins, crisis resources, and how to help a coworker without making it a spectacle.

Addiction and recovery connections

Private resource pathways for workers and families facing alcohol, drug, opioid, relapse, or recovery pressure.

Retirement and identity support

Materials and outreach for workers who leave the trade and face isolation, loss of purpose, reduced movement, drinking more, or fading out.

Partner outreach kits

Responsible materials for contractors, unions, suppliers, retailers, local businesses, and corporate giving teams that want to support workers.

Privacy-first website systems

Secure contact routing, minimal-data forms, resource pages, accessibility, hosting, and careful donation processing that does not expose people.

Education and program development

Toolbox talks, family guides, awareness materials, partner packets, and training-style resources written in plain language workers can use.

What support does not fund

Clean boundaries build trust.

Personal bills or founder personal expenses.
For-profit business expenses or Elevate360 Systems expenses.
Undocumented transfers or insider benefits.
Political campaign activity.
Medical treatment, therapy, rehab, or emergency response services provided directly by Steel Harbor.
Public story use, testimonials, or grief exploitation without written permission.
Full card-data storage by Steel Harbor.
Any retailer, contractor, supplier, or organization claim that is not documented.

Accountability standard

The mission is serious, so the records have to be serious.

Keep nonprofit funds separate from personal and for-profit funds.
Keep receipts, bank records, donation records, IRS letters, state filings, and board documents organized.
Use board approval and written documentation for compensation, vendors, conflicts, and major commitments.
Publish only claims that can be supported by actual records.
Build public reporting once donations and programs are active.
