Gala 2026 Fundraising goal

10 Years. $100,000. The Power of 10.

In honor of ten years of welcome, we’re raising $100,000 through the power of 10.

Consider purchasing a table of 10! Bring your community together for a meaningful night. A table of 10 allows you to share the experience with friends, family, and/or colleagues while introducing them to the mission and impact of Home for Refugees.

Imagine the impact if 10,000 people gave $10, 1,000 gave $100, 100 gave $1,000, or 10 gave $10,000. Whether you give $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000, or simply multiply your gift by 10, every contribution helps build a future where every refugee has a home that supports safety, freedom, and dignity.

Register for your early bird tickets by Wednesday, July 29, 2026!
