Home Support Us Other Ways to Donate Other Ways to Donate Sometimes, donations don’t fit in a box. Luckily, there are more than one way to give. Here are some options that may work for you to support Bellwether’s mission. Donations of Property, Buildings or Other Resources Past donors have gifted houses to be sold, buildings to be converted, land to be used. We look forward to working with you to identify, develop, and activate a donation tailored to your unique resources and objectives. Planned & Legacy Gifts With Bellwether Housing’s estate planning options, you can support our work into the future while also ensuring the sound stewardship of your assets by maximizing benefits to you and your family. You can work with us to make planned gifts over time, such as an annual payout for a number of years or up to a certain gift amount from a Trust. We offer many options for legacy gifts, from naming Bellwether in your will, to listing us as a beneficiary of a retirement account, to donating stock: Bequests Income gifts such as Charitable Remainder Trusts IRA Charitable Rollover Donor Advised Funds Charitable Lead Trusts View more about bequests Major Gifts A gift or pledge of $25,000 or greater is a significant investment in Bellwether's mission. At this level of giving, the impact of your donation will ripple throughout entire communities, unlocking their potential and lifting them out of systematic poverty. Major gifts may be made as outright gifts of cash or securities, as pledges payable over a period of time (typically three years) or as planned gifts. They can be restricted to certain uses, or unrestricted. Contact us to discuss options. Matching Gifts Matching gifts are a type of corporate giving program that increase an employee's initial donation to an eligible nonprofit organization. Matching gifts are usually made at a 1:1 ratio, meaning that the initial donation is simply doubled. However, some companies will match at higher ratios, with some going as high as 4:1. Additionally, corporations will institute different ratios for different employees. For example, part-time and full-time employees might be eligible for a 2:1 match while retirees or spouses of employees are eligible for a 1:1 match. If you are a company or organization who supports our mission and wants to encourage employee philanthropy, contact us to create a matching program for your employees. Fundraising Matches Fundraising matches are similar to matching gifts. The only difference is that fundraising match programs will double contributions that employees make as well as any funds that they raise for a fundraising walk, run, or cycling event. Are you interested in making a donation of the types listed here? Have an idea for an unusual donation? Contact our Fund Development Team today! Contact Us Megan Mayes , Director of External Engagement Send an email In-Kind Donations In-kind donations are contributions of products or services that a company gives at reduced or no cost to nonprofits. In-kind donations can include equipment for a project, tax services, office space, or food and drinks for an event. Bellwether Housing is 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization. Gifts to Bellwether Housing are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

< Back Previous Next Policies Household Changes How do I add someone to my household? Please contact your Site Manager. In general, the new household member(s) must: · Complete the lease addition application · Pay a screening fee · Meet all requirements for tenancy If approved, a new lease will be signed, but the lease term will stay the same. For example, if your lease has already switched to month-to-month, you won't be required to sign up for another full 12 months. If the lease addition is within the first 12 months of occupancy the entire household must re-income qualify for the unit. Why can’t my friend/relative stay with me without being on the lease? The local and federal funding Bellwether receives requires all people living in the apartment be included as occupants on the lease. Guests staying more than 7 days in a twelve-week period must apply to be added to the lease. My roommate is moving out, what do I need to do? All household members must complete and sign a Roommate Notice of Termination . Your Site Manager will also sign this form. What happens if my income changes? In most cases, income is reported to Bellwether once a year during annual recertification. Residents receiving rent subsidy must report income changes as they occur to their subsidy provider. Contact your Site Manager for more details. Previous Next

< Back Previous Next Moving Out Legal Notices What does a 30-day Pay or Vacate Notice mean? A 30-day notice is a notice to a resident to pay rent or vacate the unit. Once given, the tenant has 30 full days in which to pay rent to the landlord in full. If rent is not received in full, the landlord may start the eviction process. What does a 30-day Comply or Vacate Notice mean? A 30-day notice is a notice to the resident to comply with the terms of the Rental Agreement or Rules and Regulations. The notice will state three things: first, the section of the Lease, Rules and Regulations, or statute that the resident has violated (i.e. payment of utilities or quiet enjoyment for the other tenants); second, the specific conduct that violated the rental agreement or rule (i.e. having loud parties or an unauthorized occupant); and third, what actions the resident must take to come back into compliance. Once given, the tenant has 30 full days within which to comply. If the notice has not been complied with after the 30 day period management may begin eviction procedures. A 30-day notice has a lifespan of 60 days. If the violation occurs again within 60 days of the service of the notice, the landlord may begin the eviction action. Previous Next
