Fund the Next House

The Hope Grows at Home Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. PayPal emails a receipt at the time of your gift.

Into houses, with a small share for the administration that keeps a nonprofit compliant. We buy vacant and distressed properties, our own crew renovates them to a healthy, move-in-ready standard, and we sell them at or near what it cost us to buy and rebuild them. We do not take a margin on the sale, which is exactly why the work needs funding.

Because break-even is the price, not the profit. Acquisition, materials, labour, and carrying costs all have to be paid before a family closes, and selling at cost means nothing is left over to fund the next house. Donations are what start the next one.

Yes. We are glad to share program documentation, budgets, and references with funders and partners. Ask us and we will send them.

Yes, and we would like to talk. What we can do depends on the property: its condition, the title, and anything owed on it. That is a conversation, not a web form, so call us and we will walk through it with you. A gift of real estate is treated differently from a cash gift at tax time, and the IRS asks the donor to have the property appraised, so bring your own tax advisor into it early.

Tell us where it is. Identifying the right houses is how every project starts, and a neighbour who notices an empty house is often the first person to know.
