Housing Heroes: 5 Reasons to Give Monthly
At Partners in Housing, your monetary gifts make a significant contribution. Among many other reasons to make a monetary gift to Partners in Housing, 88% of all funds donated are funneled directly to the 68 families participating in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. It’s thanks to you and your contributions that it’s possible to guide families in housing crisis from insecurity to stability, self-reliance and prosperity.
5 reasons to donate monthly to Partners in Housing
1. Set it and forget it
Monthly donations are automatic. That means once you sign up, you won’t have to worry about remembering to support Partners in Housing. Simply enter your credit card information once and you’re all set — the only thing you have to do from there is check in to see the great work that’s being done because of your support!
2. Join an exclusive community
Receive more insider information about the Partners in Housing mission than the general group of supporters, such as personalized impact stories or swag items! Here at Partners in Housing, our monthly donors — better known as Housing Heroes — are a dedicated community that’s a cherished extension of our family. With that comes exclusive perks, including:
- Quarterly updates on your impact through newsletters
- Behind-the-scenes details of Partners in Housing’s latest happenings
- Exclusive, pre-sale invitations to Partners in Housing events
Being a monthly donor gets you closer to the mission and allows you to be a part of one of the most important communities in Partners in Housing.
3. Make a little go a long way
No matter the amount, monthly donations can make more of a lasting impact than one-time donations. Every dollar counts for nonprofits, and a guaranteed dollar a month is always a comfort for organizations that run on the generosity of others. Bottom line: Never feel obligated to make a large donation!
More than offering your chosen nonprofit a steady stream of income, smaller donations that occur throughout the year are generally more manageable for the average donor, and can make the same impact as a one-time larger gift. Spreading out your donation may even allow you to contribute more than you originally thought. For example, spending $500 all at once might be too much for the monthly budget to handle, but if donating $50 every month is doable, you’ll actually donate $600 by the end of the year! A true win-win, monthly donations also offer an invaluable boost to the Partners in Housing budget each year.
4. Provide support during slower months
While nonprofits would love to consistently break donation records every month, the reality is that there will be quieter periods throughout the year. For instance, most nonprofits bank on a slower start to the year, mainly because so many donations come in during the holiday season. During these slower times, we rely on monthly donors for financial stability. So, while your reoccurring gift directly supports the mission like a one-time donation would, it can also contribute to a rainy-day fund that keeps Partners in Housing running smoothly throughout the year.
5. Allow Partners in Housing to run full speed ahead
From a high-level perspective, your guaranteed donation will also help Partners in Housing leaders develop a budget, goals, and overall plan for the year. Monthly donations live under a planned rather than estimated income bucket, which means budget and spending decisions can be made with more confidence.
At Partners in Housing, monthly donations give us the breathing room to think beyond the immediate partner support of our Family Self-Sufficiency Program, such as finding new ways to embrace our mission, introducing new initiatives, or expanding staff.
You can provide lasting support for families facing homelessness.
