Nora’s Home depends on the generosity of our community to help sustain and advance our mission. Families staying at Nora’s Home are asked to pay a small fee per night in exchange for their room, communal kitchen, living room areas, laundry facilities, educational resources, secure parking and free shuttle service to the medical center.
Funds raised are used to offset the difference between the actual operating cost and the amount families can afford to pay. In addition, your donation provides financial support to those families who are unable to pay even the minimal nightly fee.
Every dollar you contribute, no matter the size, helps Nora’s Home to fulfill its mission.
Most gifts are tax-deductible and all gifts directly impact our entire family at Nora’s Home. Thank you for making a difference!
Recent changes to tax law as a result of the 2020 CARES Act could impact your tax and giving strategies for this year. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor to determine whether or not supporting Nora’s Home (and other worthy nonprofits) by year’s end could be to your benefit. More information is available here.
