Your gift builds the next home.
Every dollar given to CIVC goes directly toward housing a veteran and funding the wraparound services that make that housing stick.
Where your gift goes
CIVC is a volunteer-run nonprofit. That means administrative overhead is minimal and donations flow toward the work: materials, labor coordination, and the services that surround every home we build.
A single tiny home costs roughly $40,000–$60,000 in materials and trades work. Gifts of any size move that number. A recurring gift even a small one gives CIVC the planning horizon to schedule the next build with confidence.
- One-time gifts help cover materials and trade costs on active builds
- Recurring gifts fund ongoing wraparound services: counseling, coaching, and care coordination
- Tribute and memorial gifts can be made in honor of a veteran
- All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law
