Thank you to everyone who supported the first-ever Hope for Homes Day on July 18, 2024. We're enormously proud to announce that our remarkable network of 20 nonprofits collectively raised $133,775 in support of youth and families experiencing homelessness in Illinois!
We are pleased to report that La Casa Norte exceeded its $20,000 fundraising goal! This is a testament to the exceptional community of supporters who rally behind us and our mission time and again. Thank you to each and every one of you. This important work would not be possible without you.
What is Hope for Homes Day?
Hope for Homes Day is a statewide day of giving by and for Illinois-based nonprofits dedicated to housing and homelessness initiatives through online giving, peer-to-peer fundraising, sponsorship opportunities, and matched giving challenges. This collaborative, multi-organization effort is a first-of-its-kind campaign that aims to generate over $100,000 in support of unhoused youth and families across Illinois.
We are honored to have official proclamations from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle recognizing Hope for Homes Day. These endorsements highlight the importance of our mission and the collaborative effort to end homelessness in our state.
Thanks to the Chicago Community Trust and the Knight Family Foundation, your gift may be matched, DOUBLING the impact of your efforts!
Collaborative Philanthropy
What sets Hope for Homes Day apart is its innovative fundraising model; though spearheaded by La Casa Norte, this initiative is uniquely designed to raise funds for all participating non-profit organizations. While days of giving are common, Hope for Homes Day collaborative philanthropic model is rare. La Casa Norte is proud to lead the charge for the campaign’s inaugural year and will cover the registration fee for all participating organizations.
