BOISE, Idaho – Idaho Housing and Finance Association and the Home Partnership Foundation are pleased to announce that a total of $724,305 was raised for 45 Idaho nonprofits in its seventh annual Avenues for Hope Housing Challenge that ended December 31, 2017. The annual event enables businesses and individuals to support nonprofits that provide housing and critical services for the homeless across the state.

The campaign received 3,023 donations this year, for a total of $460,364, plus $263,941 in grant prizes and matching funds were awarded that are supported by 30 generous sponsors. The campaign continues to grow every year, with a 35% increase in the number of donations from the community and a 57% increase in total funds raised this year over 2016.

“The 2017 response has been overwhelming and we thank all the generous donors for their gifts, which will help many of the state’s homeless during this winter season,” said Gerald M. Hunter, president of Idaho Housing and Finance Association. “We were encouraged to see so many Idahoans come together during this holiday season to help make a difference for those who are homeless. It’s been an exciting campaign, the results of which will have a long-lasting impact on our community.”

Nearly $2.2 million has been raised in the last seven years, since Avenues for Hope was introduced in 2011. While the 2017 campaign has concluded, donations may still be made to participating nonprofits on their organization websites or to the homepartnershipfoundation.org.

The Home Partnership Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation of Idaho Housing and Finance Association, organizes the Avenues for Hope Housing Challenge every year to enhance funding for housing nonprofits throughout the state.
