What Your Donation Helps Build
At this stage, all donations go toward our first $300,000 rebuilding grant for a long-time Altadena family. While funds are pooled and distributed through escrow, here’s what common donation amounts realistically support in a home rebuild:
$25
Covers paint, sealants, and small but essential supplies that keep a rebuild moving forward.
$50
Helps pay for framing lumber, drywall, or plywood used in the structural shell of a home.
$100
Covers about one hour of licensed electrical work or contributes to required wiring and inspections.
$500
Helps cover skilled labor or materials needed for a single phase of rebuilding, such as rough electrical, plumbing prep, or framing.
$1,000
Supports a meaningful portion of a rebuild milestone, like electrical rough-in, plumbing installation, or inspection fees required to move forward.
$2,500
Helps fund a major rebuild phase, such as framing, roofing prep, or interior systems that make a house safe and livable.
$5,000
Covers a significant portion of construction costs for a family rebuilding their home, including labor, materials, and required inspections.
$10,000
Plays a meaningful role in closing the insurance gap for a long-time Altadena family working to rebuild and remain on their land.
