Join Us in Creating Green, Joyful, Forever Homes for Unhoused Families

Your gift supports our work to build a future where all Californians live in green, healthy, and joyful homes that are deeply and permanently affordable. Your gift will contribute to the ongoing rehabilitation of our 2231 East 28th St. property, supportive programs for our formerly unhoused families, and to acquiring and building new homes for Oakland’s unhoused community members.

Just Homes accepts both one-time and monthly recurring credit card donations. Monthly giving provides steady, reliable support that helps Just Homes sustain our work for the long term. And every gift, no matter the size, helps us build the world we want to live in.

MORE WAYS TO GIVE

Donate via Check
You are also welcome to send contributions via mail directly to Just Homes at PO BOX 22753, Oakland, CA 94609. 

Matching Gifts
Double or even triple the impact of your gift through your employer’s matching gift program. To learn more about your workplace giving program, contact your HR administrator. You can also use this tool to see if your employer participates in a matching gift program. 

Giving from a Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-advised funds provide a simple and efficient way to manage your charitable giving. Please note that the IRS has specific guidelines regarding charitable donations from DAFs.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

If you are age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to give directly from your IRA to support our mission. This type of gift can satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD), potentially reduce your taxable income, and offer a simple, tax-efficient way to make a meaningful impact today. For more information on making a QCD to Just Homes or to get started, please contact your IRA custodian for guidance.

Stock Giving

Donating appreciated stocks can be a powerful way to give. By transferring securities directly, you may avoid capital gains taxes while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value. This allows you to maximize both your impact and potential tax benefits. 

Planned Gifts and Bequests

Planned giving offers a way to create a lasting legacy. By including Just Homes in your will, trust, or estate plan, you can help ensure that unhoused people have access to high-quality, permanent, and climate-resilient housing for generations to come. 

Real Estate Donations

Gifts of real estate, such as homes, land, or commercial property, can make a transformative difference for Just Homes. Donating property may help you avoid capital gains taxes and reduce estate burdens, while directly providing housing for the communities we serve. Our team can help guide you through the process to ensure a smooth and beneficial transfer.

Become a Funder

Just Homes partners with a diverse community of generous grantmakers and sponsors whose support helps advance our mission to resource unhoused people with high-quality, permanent, and climate-resilient housing so they can heal, build power, and pursue lives of joy and well-being.
