The Power of Your Donations
Who We Support
Here are the top organizations that are supported through your donations:
Charlotte Family Housing
Charlotte Family Housing (CFH) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping working families experiencing homelessness achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency through its carefully designed shelter-to-housing programs. CFH was formed in 2011 by merging three local agencies — Charlotte Emergency Housing, Family Promise of Charlotte, and W.I.S.H. — to better serve families in need.
"A 12-year-old girl was bouncing with excitement to tell me that in her new apartment she was going to have her OWN room for the very first time in her life. She was over the moon to have a space to call hers. Her joy was palpable." - Alice Marleaux, Chief Engagement Officer of Charlotte Family Housing
Roof Above
Roof Above is a leading nonprofit organization in Charlotte focused on ending homelessness and providing housing solutions through a full spectrum of services from street outreach to permanent supportive housing. Formed in 2019 through the merger of the Urban Ministry Center and Men’s Shelter of Charlotte, the organization was rebranded as Roof Above to reflect its goal of ensuring everyone in the community has a roof to call their own.
"Thanks to Homeowners Impact Fund, Mr. X has a home after years of experiencing homelessness. ... Because of donors like HIF, we were ready to help when Mr. X came to Roof Above. We are grateful for your part in his story, and the stories of so many others." - Veronica Ritchie, Chief Philanthropy Officer of Roof Above
Safe Alliance
Safe Alliance is a major nonprofit based in Charlotte that is dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault across the region. Their mission is to provide hope and healing through a range of survivor-centered services.
"Donors like you are essential to Safe Alliance's work and our mission: bringing hope and healing to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Your gift provides comfort and safety to more than 8,000 people in Mecklenburg County each year." - Laura Lawrence, President & CEO of Safe Alliance
The Harvest Center
The Harvest Center of Charlotte is a faith-based nonprofit founded in the early 1980s initially as a soup kitchen and is now focused on long-term transformation for people facing situational homelessness. The organization’s mission is to empower individuals affected by homelessness, poverty and unemployment through transformative support, anchored in Christian ministry while welcoming all faith backgrounds.
Samaritan House
Samaritan House is a nonprofit organization in Charlotte providing free short-term medical respite care for individuals experiencing homelessness or unstable housing who have recently been hospitalized and have nowhere else to recover. The organization was founded in 2005 by advocates who recognized that individuals discharged from hospitals with no safe place to recuperate were at high risk without additional support.
"Your support enables us to continue our mission of providing essential medical care and respite services to homeless individuals, fostering a healthier and more compassionate community." - Rodney Tucker, Executive Director of Samaritan House
