Homefound

Real change for the unhoused

Building toward 501(c)(3) nonprofit status

Help us build the app that turns compassion into targeted housing, recovery, and food support, with every gift tracked to vetted programs. We’re laying the groundwork to become a registered nonprofit.

Three ways Homefound creates impact

The same pillars on our business card, designed so donors know exactly who they are helping and where every dollar goes.

Scan & connect

Scan a neighbor’s QR code to read their unique story and learn about their specific goals.

Fund direct resources

Choose exactly what you want to support. Contributions are routed directly to vetted housing, rehab, and food programs.

Total transparency

Eliminate uncertainty. Funds bypass direct cash transfers so your donation makes a guaranteed, targeted impact.

Fuel Homefound on GoFundMe

Your gift helps ship the Homefound app (QR stories, verified partners, and transparent giving for unhoused neighbors) and funds the legal path to 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

On the path to nonprofit

Homefound is building toward registered 501(c)(3) status. Support today lays the groundwork so future donations can become tax-deductible once we get there.

What is Homefound?

Homefound connects donors with vetted local housing, recovery, and food programs. Gifts go to real resources, not cash handoffs.

Neighbors get a QR-linked profile. Donors choose what to fund. Caseworkers keep updates honest. Every dollar stays on a transparent path.

How it works

  • Fund real resources Give toward housing, rehab, and other long-term goals through vetted partners, not direct cash.
  • Cover urgent needs Fund a meal or coat. Items go to secure drop-off spots for pickup, with no cash transfer.
  • No mandatory platform fee Your gift goes to the cause. Optional tips at checkout help run Homefound.
  • Fair limits Stipends have daily caps so help is shared fairly and harder to abuse.
  • Verified caseworkers Trusted helpers manage profiles and progress, not cold solicitation.
  • Full transparency Scan a QR code, read the profile, and fund a clear goal with confidence.

Where campaign gifts go

  • App & launch MVP finish, caseworker portal, hosting, and store fees.
  • Community helpers Field advocates who set up profiles and post verified updates.
  • Partners & drop-offs Shelters, orgs, and secure pickup zones in LA.
  • Nonprofit path Legal setup toward 501(c)(3) so future gifts can be tax-deductible.
  • Local outreach Spreading the word to donors and community partners.
Building toward nonprofit status

Homefound is not yet a registered 501(c)(3). Campaign gifts help fund legal setup so future donations can become tax-deductible.
