How Your Donation Makes a Real Difference

Discover the tangible impact of your contribution to The Great House Fundraising. Every dollar directly transforms lives and strengthens communities.

Giving & Stewardship August 10, 2026 Michael-Liberte Lattiboudeaire

When you donate to The Great House Fundraising, you’re not just sending money—you’re investing in transformation. Let me show you exactly what happens with your generosity.

Your $50 Gift

A single donation of $50 provides:

  • One month of tutoring for a student in our Expectations Program
  • Educational supplies and textbooks for one student
  • Academic support that could change a child’s entire trajectory

Maria was struggling in school despite her intelligence and determination. With just $50 in monthly support, she received tutoring that helped her grades improve by two full letter grades. That’s the power of your gift.

Your $100 Contribution

With $100, you can:

  • Feed a family of four for two weeks
  • Provide emergency shelter assistance for someone in crisis
  • Support two hours of professional counseling for someone escaping domestic violence

The Johnson family lost their home in an unexpected emergency. Your $100 gift meant hot meals for a week while they worked with us to find safe housing. It meant dignity and hope when they needed it most.

Your $250 Monthly Commitment

A monthly commitment of $250 sustains:

  • Ongoing mentorship relationship with a student (all year)
  • Emergency food assistance for multiple families
  • One individual’s counseling support through a healing journey

When you commit monthly, you become a partner in long-term transformation. Students graduate. Families stabilize. Lives change. Your consistent support makes breakthrough possible.

Your $1,000 Annual Gift

An annual gift of $1,000 enables us to:

  • Launch a scholarship for one student to attend college
  • Provide disaster relief for an affected family
  • Fund a semester of comprehensive counseling services

The ripple effects of your generosity extend far beyond the initial gift. A scholarship recipient becomes a mentor. A family rebuilds and strengthens their community. A counselor’s client becomes an advocate for others.

Our Transparency Commitment

We believe you have the right to know exactly how your money is used. Here’s our breakdown:

  • 75% goes directly to programs and services
  • 15% supports administration and operations
  • 10% funds fundraising and community education

This ratio is significantly better than the nonprofit standard of 65%, because we’re committed to maximum impact for your donation.

More Than Money

Your donation is an act of faith. When you give, you’re saying:

  • I believe in transformation
  • I believe in community
  • I believe every person deserves dignity and opportunity
  • I believe God’s work happens when we work together

Stories of Impact

Education: 98% of students in our mentoring programs graduate high school (vs. 87% district average). $3,000 in mentoring support changes lives.

Food Security: Our Foodbank has served over 5,000 families this year. Your $100 gift feeds 5 families for a week.

Counseling: Individuals receiving our services report 87% improvement in mental health outcomes. Your support gives someone hope and healing.

Disaster Relief: When hurricane struck, we were there within 24 hours. $500 helps a family clean up after disaster and access recovery resources.

The Multiplier Effect

Your donation doesn’t stop with the initial person served. Consider:

  • A mentored student becomes a volunteer and mentor for others
  • A family receiving food assistance begins volunteering at the foodbank
  • Someone receiving counseling becomes an advocate for mental health in their community

One donation creates a domino effect of transformation.

Year-End Giving Opportunity

As we approach year-end, consider increasing your impact with a tax-deductible gift. Double (or more) your normal donation and receive:

  • Tax benefits for 2026
  • Recognition in our annual report
  • Special stewardship appreciation
  • The knowledge that you’re maximizing impact
