The One Percent Project
A collaboration to end homelessness, one percent at a time
We are asking those in the business of home - as well as their customers - to incorporate 1% donations in to the cost of home improvement work. This funding will go to vetted non-profits who are providing critical services to those without housing.
The One Percent Project is partnered with the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) to distribute funding to homeless-based, non-profit organizations who are making measurable impact in their communities. OCF funds non-profits nation-wide, not just in Oregon. By pooling our donations together as an industry, we can measure the impact of our funding and build a source of income that our non-profit partners can rely on.
