Support the work
Fund a bed. Fund a fresh start.
A night of supportive housing costs about $45. That is a bed, the lights, the staff, and a case manager who follows up. Nothing fancy — just the thing that works.
Give
What your gift does
Here is what each amount actually pays for. Call us to give today while the online form is being set up.
Online giving is being set up right now. To give today, call (202) 491-3155 or email support@getato.org and we will take it from there — check, transfer, or card.
Why monthly matters most
A bed we can count on is a bed we can hold open for someone leaving the hospital on a Friday afternoon. One-time gifts are wonderful. Monthly gifts are what let us say yes without checking the balance first.
$25 a month covers roughly two nights of housing every month, all year.
Other ways to give
- Check or transfer — call us and we will send details
- Donor-advised fund — we can provide everything your sponsor needs
- Employer match — many employers double a gift; ask us for the paperwork
- In-kind — bus passes, work clothes, laptops, gift cards for groceries
- Sponsor a bed — businesses and congregations can fund a bed for a month or a year
Straight talk
What we promise donors
- We will tell you what your money did, in specifics, not adjectives.
- We will not use a client's photo or story to raise money without their written, informed consent — and never in exchange for services.
- We will not sell, rent or share your contact information. Ever.
- We will not guilt you, run countdown timers, or email you daily in December.
- If you ask us a hard question about our finances, you get a straight answer.
Questions before you give? Call (202) 491-3155 or email support@getato.org. We would rather talk than take a gift you have doubts about.
Not a donor? You can still help.
Volunteer a few hours, run a drive, hire someone from our program, or send us a referral. All of it counts.
