Building toward 501(c)(3) nonprofit status

The app
Three ways Homefound creates impact
The same pillars on our business card, designed so donors know exactly who they are helping and where every dollar goes.
Fund direct resources
Choose exactly what you want to support. Contributions are routed directly to vetted housing, rehab, and food programs.
Total transparency
Eliminate uncertainty. Funds bypass direct cash transfers so your donation makes a guaranteed, targeted impact.
Campaign

About
What is Homefound?
Homefound connects donors with vetted local housing, recovery, and food programs—so gifts go to real resources, not cash handoffs.
Neighbors get a QR-linked profile. Donors choose what to fund. Caseworkers keep updates honest. Every dollar stays on a transparent path.
How it works
- Fund real resources Give toward housing, rehab, and other long-term goals through vetted partners—not direct cash.
- Cover urgent needs Fund a meal or coat. Items go to secure drop-off spots for pickup—no cash transfer.
- No mandatory platform fee Your gift goes to the cause. Optional tips at checkout help run Homefound.
- Fair limits Stipends have daily caps so help is shared fairly and harder to abuse.
- Verified caseworkers Trusted helpers manage profiles and progress—not cold solicitation.
- Full transparency Scan a QR code, read the profile, and fund a clear goal with confidence.
