Join the Mission Builders
Mission Builders are supporters who commit to advancing Harborlight Homes’ mission through monthly giving. Together, their generosity ensures that individuals and families in our community have access to safe, stable affordable homes and the support they need.
By becoming a Mission Builder, you help build stronger communities and lasting solutions, because community is something we build together.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
Monthly giving builds more than homes – it builds futures.
Easy
Monthly giving is simple. Your gift will be processed automatically on the same day each month.
Reliable
Recurring gifts provide steady support that helps HH plan ahead and create affordable homes and services for our most vulnerable neighbors.
Connected
As a Mission Builder, you are part of a dedicated community. You’ll receive special updates, invitations, and behind-the-scenes look at the impact of your support.
Your Monthly Gift Can Help
Example:
- $10/month – Provide resident support services
- $25/month – Support housing stability programs
- $50/month – Help sustain affordable homes in our communities
Monthly, quarterly, or annual giving options are available, and qualifying donations may be eligible for the Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC).
