Creating Community

Everyone deserves a key to their own home.

Proceeds from the REACH fund benefit Homeward Bound’s Welcome Home Donation Center, which provides furniture and household goods to those transitioning out of homelessness and into a home. 

To avoid processing fees, donate using your bank information or mail contributions to Homeward Bound of WNC, P.O. Box 1166, Asheville, NC 28802.

For help with any contribution, please contact Homeward Bound's Donor Relations Specialist at 828.747.9409. or rd@homewardboundwnc.org

Sending a Message to your Buyer (Monthly/Recurring Sponsorship)

If you choose a monthly sponsorship, please fill out the Google Form included in your donation receipt to provide your personalized message to your buyer, along with the buyer's name and mailing address. Your message will be delivered to your client via a handwritten letter from Homeward Bound of WNC. 

Create Lasting Change

One of the easiest ways to support Homeward Bound’s mission of ending homelessness is by making a monthly recurring donation through your debit or credit card. It spreads the financial impact of your giving across the year—and it helps Homeward Bound better predict income.  Simply choose “Ongoing” when you make your donation, or contact andrew@homewardboundwnc.org to set up a recurring donation by mail.

IRA

A win-win for taxpayers and Homeward Bound – if you are 70 ½ or older, you can make an IRA transfer of up to $100,000 directly to Homeward Bound and claim it as a tax-free IRA Charitable Rollover gift by following these guidelines:

  • You must be 70 ½ or older when you make the gift and it must be from a traditional or Roth IRA. Retirement plans such as 401(K), 403(b), SIMPLE or SEP accounts do not qualify.
  • Transfers can count toward your required minimum distribution. 
  • You may contribute up to $100,000 per individual, per year. Thus spouses or partners can each give $100,000 from separate IRA accounts.
  • Distributions must be made directly to Homeward Bound of WNC and completed by Dec. 31.
  • The IRA charitable distribution is not included in your taxable income so there is no charitable deduction available.
  • The IRA charitable distribution may be used to fulfill a pledge.

Contact Jessie Figueroa, Resource Development Director, to donate through your IRA (828) 793-0072 or email Jessie@HomewardBoundWNC.org
