$10,000 Goal
As the Co-Founder/CEO of our grassroots nonprofit, which is a HUD-certified housing counseling agency, I am reaching out to highlight the importance of your support during North Texas Giving Day. Our mission is to provide essential homeownership guidance and information to underserved and underdeveloped communities in North Texas. Here’s why your donations are crucial and how we will use them:
Why We Need Donations:
Expanding Outreach Programs:
Our community faces significant barriers to homeownership, including a lack of information, resources, and support. Donations will enable us to expand our outreach programs, reaching more individuals and families who need our services.
Providing Free Workshops and Counseling:
Many of our clients are low to moderate-income families who cannot afford the cost of private counseling. Donations will help us provide free workshops and one-on-one counseling sessions, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve sustainable homeownership.
Developing Educational Materials:
Creating high-quality educational materials is essential for our workshops and counseling sessions. Your contributions will fund the development and distribution of these materials, ensuring they are accessible to all community members.
Increasing Capacity for One-on-One Support:
As the demand for our services grows, so does the need for trained counselors. Donations will help us train and hire additional staff, allowing us to offer more personalized and effective support to each client.
Technological Enhancements:
In today's digital age, having up-to-date technology is crucial. Donations will enable us to improve our technological infrastructure, including our website, online resources, and virtual counseling capabilities, making our services more accessible to those who need them.
Emergency Financial Assistance:
Many of our clients are at risk of losing their homes due to unexpected financial hardships. Donations will allow us to establish an emergency fund to provide temporary financial assistance to those in immediate need, helping them stay in their homes while they work towards long-term stability.
How We Will Use Your Donations:
Program Expansion:
Funds will be allocated to expand our current programs, including more frequent workshops, outreach events, and community partnerships, to ensure we are reaching as many people as possible.
Staff Training and Hiring:
We will invest in the professional development of our current staff and hire additional counselors to meet the growing demand for our services.
Educational Resources:
Donations will go towards the creation and distribution of comprehensive educational materials, including brochures, booklets, online resources, and interactive tools.
Technology Upgrades:
We will enhance our digital platforms to offer more efficient and user-friendly online services, ensuring that our clients can easily access the information and support they need.
Emergency Assistance Fund:
A portion of the donations will be reserved for our emergency assistance fund, providing critical financial support to clients facing unexpected hardships that threaten their housing stability.
Your support during North Texas Giving Day is not just a donation; it is an investment in the future of our community. Together, we can empower individuals and families to achieve their dream of homeownership, creating stronger, more stable communities across North Texas.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment to making a difference.
Sincerely,
Leticia Gallegos, HUD Certified Housing Counselor, HREBA Housing Counseling

After meeting our NTXGD goal of $10,000, our immediate need would be to enhance our virtual counseling infrastructure and expand our emergency financial assistance fund. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how we would allocate these funds:
Immediate Need with $10,000
Enhancing Virtual Counseling Infrastructure:
Allocated Amount: $6,000
Purpose: To upgrade our virtual counseling platform, ensuring it is secure, user-friendly, and capable of handling increased demand. This includes purchasing software licenses, implementing cybersecurity measures, and providing training for staff and clients on using the new platform.
Impact: This will allow us to reach clients who cannot attend in-person sessions due to distance, work schedules, or health concerns. Enhanced virtual infrastructure will ensure that no one is left without access to essential homeownership guidance and support.
Expanding Emergency Financial Assistance Fund:
Allocated Amount: $4,000
Purpose: To bolster our emergency financial assistance fund, providing immediate relief for families at risk of losing their homes due to unforeseen circumstances such as job loss, medical emergencies, or unexpected home repairs.
Impact: This fund will act as a safety net for vulnerable families, preventing homelessness and giving them time to stabilize their finances. By providing timely financial assistance, we can help families stay in their homes and avoid the devastating consequences of displacement.
