Fundraise for SafeHomes

Where does the money go?

Approximately 30% of SafeHomes' annual operating budget must come from community support.  The remaining 70% comes through from state or federal funding and competitive grants.  It is imperative to bridge the gap with community support so that we can continue to offer programs and services that meet the needs of our clients as they transform their lives and break the cycle of abuse in their family.

How much money should I raise?

The great thing about DIY fundraising is that YOU can determine your goal.  It's important to set realistic goals that you feel you can reach, but also challenge yourself and your network of support a bit too!

How can I raise the most money possible for SafeHomes?

To maximize support, you will want to make sure to share the link to your fundraising page often!  Utilize email, social media and texting.  Share as much as you are comfortable about WHY you are passionate about this cause.  If others see your passion and "feel" your "why", they will feel more connected to the cause. 

Are donations tax deductible?

Yes. Donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law as no goods or services are being rendered to the donor for their gift.

What if my donors need a receipt?

Everyone who donates online will receive an email confirmation receipt for tax purposes.  Anyone who donates via cash or check can also receive a receipt for tax purposes, BUT, the donation must be submitted by mail and include the donor name, address and email.

Where can I mail any checks that are given to me for my DIY campaign?
