Have You Heard about NetGiver?

We are helping spread the word about NetGiver, a new giving platform that provides an opportunity for 100% of your contribution to support our work.  NetGiver is a fee-free giving platform powered by the community spirit of credit unions.  Using NetGiver will result in a 7% savings between the fees typically paid by the donor and by our organization when we receive a donation online.

Imagine the difference that 7% could make in the lives of the people we help.

Typically, with a $1,000 donation minus the fees, we can install 34 grab bars or 34 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. By using NetGiver for your donation, we can take the 7% that would have gone to fees and install 3 more grab bars or 3 more smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This difference can prevent injuries in the home for more low-income households and will help us fulfill our mission of a safe and healthy home for every person.

We are excited about NetGiver and hope you will consider using this platform to make a donation.  You can make a donation to Rebuilding Together Twin Cities using NetGiver here.

Ramp Results in $10,000 Donation

Our incredible volunteers recently build a ramp for Pablo and Olga, which will make it possible for them to remain safely and independently in their home.  As a result of this ramp, we received a $10,000 donation from an anonymous donor!  We are grateful for the opportunity to help this couple remain in their home and for this generous gift, which will make it possible for us to help more of our neighbors in need!
