Corporate Giving
Sponsorship, matched giving and workplace drives, put to work three miles from your office.
Three miles from your office.
Essex County holds some of the wealthiest towns in New Jersey and the highest concentration of homelessness in the state, a few minutes apart. Around nine in ten of the families we serve come from Newark and the communities around it.
A corporate partnership here is local in a way that most are not: your staff can stand in the building their money paid for, on a Tuesday morning, and be home by lunch.
What companies do here
Sponsor a room for a year. $150 covers one night for a mother and child, so a year of one room is a line item for most companies and a permanent answer for a family.
Match what your staff give. Matched giving is the cheapest way to double a gift, and it turns a personal donation into a company one without a new budget.
Send a team. The pantry, the garden and the drives all take groups, and a morning of work is worth more to us than the same hours billed. Volunteerism has the detail.
Run a drive. Nappies, toiletries, school supplies, winter coats — the things a family arriving with nothing needs on the first night, and the things a grant will not buy.
Sponsorship and events
House of Love is our annual fundraiser and carries sponsor recognition. If you would rather your name sat on the wall than on a program, the Cornerstone Society is a five-year commitment from $1,000 a year.
For anything here, or for something we have not thought of, contact us and ask for the development team. We will tell you honestly whether what you are offering is useful.
Why private money decides this.
Isaiah House is 90% publicly funded, in a climate where that funding is shrinking and costs are rising faster than the support that covers them.
Corporate giving is not the decoration on that budget. It is the part that decides whether a family arriving tonight is given a room or given a number.
$150 keeps a mother and child safe for one night.
