The Difference You Make When You Give

Extensive research from organizations like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) shows that veterans represent a significant portion of the homeless population nationwide. Donations to NVHS fund programs that help reduce this number by providing safe housing, medical care, job training, and critical support services.

Every dollar you give contributes directly to improving veterans’ lives by:

• Providing transitional housing for veterans in need
• Offering outreach and case management to connect veterans with VA and partner programs for housing, healthcare, employment assistance, and job training
• Delivering financial support to help prevent evictions
• Supporting outreach efforts to connect veterans with vital resources

Your generosity transforms lives and supports the community’s ongoing effort to end veteran homelessness.

Where Your Generosity Has the Greatest Impact

Transparency is core to NVHS’s mission. When you donate, your gift is allocated across key programs that serve veterans’ immediate and long-term needs:

• Transitional Housing: This program provides veterans with safe, stable housing and supportive services designed to help them rebuild stability and move toward permanent housing solutions.
• Case Management and Support Services: Personalized support helps veterans navigate benefits, healthcare, and employment.
• Healthcare Access: We guide veterans to VA healthcare, mental health services, and VA rehabilitation programs, ensuring they know how to access the care and support available to them.
• Job Training and Employment Services: We connect veterans with VA programs that offer job training and employment opportunities, helping them take steps toward financial independence.
• Community Outreach and Education: Raising awareness and recruiting volunteers to expand the reach of NVHS programs.

This allocation ensures your gift creates meaningful, sustainable impact. Every donation brings us closer to ending veteran homelessness. Join a community of compassionate donors who believe in restoring dignity and opportunity for all veterans.

Donation Options That Fit Your Giving Style

NVHS offers a variety of ways to support our veterans that fit different preferences and circumstances:

• One-Time Donations: A single gift that supports urgent needs or special projects.
• Monthly Recurring Donations: Consistent support through automatic monthly gifts helps us plan and grow our programs confidently.
• Cryptocurrency Donations: NVHS accepts cryptocurrency contributions for those interested in digital asset giving. These gifts may provide tax benefits and new flexibility.
• In-Kind Donations: Gifts of goods, services, vehicles, or property that fill vital needs beyond cash donations. Prior coordination with NVHS is required.

We encourage donors to choose the method that feels right for them while maximizing their impact.

The Tax Advantages of Donating to NVHS

• Donors receive receipts for all monetary gifts and in-kind donations.
• For in-kind donations, donors must determine the fair market value of donated goods or property for tax purposes.
• Professional services donated are typically not tax-deductible, but are invaluable to our mission.

The Power of Employer Matching Gifts

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can significantly increase the impact of your donation. Here is how matching gifts work:

• You make a donation to NVHS.
• Your employer matches your gift dollar-for-dollar or at another rate.
• NVHS receives the matched funds, effectively doubling (or more) your contribution without additional cost to you.

To find out if your employer offers matching gifts, check with your HR department or use the matching gift search tool available on our website.

Matching gifts are one of the easiest ways to maximize your support for veterans, so be sure to take advantage if your employer participates.

Thank you for your generosity and trust.
