The 9th Annual Avenues for Hope Housing Challenge is off to its best-ever start with more than $160,000 raised. In a little less than 48 hours, Avenues for Hope eclipsed the amount raised in the first two years of the campaign.

Der online fundraising campaign assists 80 nonprofits that manage the day-to-day work of helping Idahoans find safe, stable, and affordable housing. The 20-day effort helps benefit chronically and temporarily homeless, domestic violence survivors, veterans, people with disabilities, vulnerable youth, seniors and low-income Idahoans.

„Viele unserer Nachbarn haben mit der zunehmenden Bezahlbarkeit von Wohnraum im Bundesstaat zu kämpfen“, sagte Gerald Hunter, Präsident der Idaho Housing and Finance Association. „Deshalb hoffen wir, dieses Jahr 14 Billionen Pfund zu sammeln, um teilnehmende gemeinnützige Organisationen bei der Aufrechterhaltung und Erweiterung ihrer Angebote zur Wohnungs- und Obdachlosenprävention zu unterstützen.“

Many of the participating nonprofits rely on this additional funding to not only help them with their mission, but to keep their doors open.

„Ohne die Home Partnership Foundation und Avenues for Hope würden wir heute nicht existieren“, sagte Steve Bonnar, Geschäftsführer der Sojourners‘ Alliance.

Nonprofits can also win monetary bonuses during the campaign based on a number of categories, including most donations, random drawings, or even social media efforts. The total prize pool and matching funds donated from 40 sponsors is up to $300,000.

Die Kampagne läuft vom 12. Dezember bis Mitternacht am 31. Dezember 2019.
