15th Anniversary Donor Match Program | September 19 to October 4
We are thrilled to share some exciting news that presents a special opportunity for you to make an even greater impact on our mission. This week marks the 15th anniversary of the official start of Community Homeworks as a local nonprofit.
For the next 15 days, we have two very generous anonymous donors who are pledging to match every dollar donated, up to $15,000! This means that every contribution you make will be double matched, allowing your support to go twice as far in helping us provide health and safety home repairs in homes, empowering education and access to tools. For instance, if you donate $100 in the next 15 days, that gift will become $300.
Now is the perfect time to give, knowing that your generosity will be significantly magnified in the next 15 days, from September 19 to October 4. Whether you choose to renew your support, consider increasing your donation, or introduce a friend to our cause, your gifts will help us reach our goal and positively impact the lives of those we serve.

Together, we empower. We empower Kalamazoo-area homeowners to take their future in their own hands. We empower those we serve to restore the comforts of home through critical home repairs. We empower homeowners to garner the skills and knowledge to confidently repair and maintain a home through our educational programming.
Many of the homes we work in are on the brink of being condemned or the owners face potential displacement. Some homes face emergency or imminent health or safety risks for the families who occupy the home. Large of small, we encounter many issues for which homeonwers often do not have the financial resourcs to hire professionals or the ability to fix themselves.
Empowerment goes beyond a stable home environment and the confidence to maintain or repair a home; our work also:
- Creates intergenerational wealth by avoiding catastrophic repair costs and reducing utility expenses.
- Combats climate change through energy efficiency measures in the home.
- Maintains a stable environment for families and children, especially with virtual learning in the home throughout the pandemic.
- Provides homeowner independence and peace of mind for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
- Minimizes the trauma and uncertanty of housing insecurity and displacement.
- Preserves and strengthens vibrant core neighborhoods and reduces the impact of blight.
With your donation, together we can offer some relief for someone in crisis, someone who has nowhere else to turn. Please give today. Every donation, no matter the amount, can change the story for a family.
Thank you!
