COMMUNITY CULTIVATORS CLUB

Affordable housing plants the seeds of equity.

Introducing the NEW Community Roots Housing monthly giving program!

What does it mean to cultivate community?

To cultivate community is to create and maintain conditions that promote equity: fair and just opportunities and outcomes for all.

Quality, safe, affordable places to call home are at the root of equitable communities, reducing barriers to the resources and opportunities needed to support a quality life. By working together to combat Seattle’s housing crisis, we’re planting the seeds for our neighbors to put down roots and thrive.

cultivate (kuhl·tuh·vayt)
transitive verb:
a proactive and intentional effort to encourage growth, improvement, or positive change

Affordable housing is at the core of what we do at Community Roots Housing, but its benefits branch out far beyond a place to call home.

With a lighter burden to fulfill essential needs, individuals and families can engage in their communities, invest in opportunity, build financial resilience, and deepen their sense of stability.

Monthly giving is...

AFFORDABLE

Monthly gifts can be made in any amount. Committing to a gift that is broken down into smaller increments throughout the year is not only budget friendly, it's a great opportunity to increase your total annual donation and the impact of your support!

EASY

It only takes a few minutes to set up a monthly gift with a credit card or electronic funds transfer. After that, you will be automatically charged every month – no need to worry about remembering to re-enter your payment details!

RELIABLE

Monthly gifts ensure a steady source of funding for Community Roots Housing's work to create inclusive housing and foster thriving, just communities. Dependable cashflow spread throughout the year strengthens financial stability, sustainability, and adaptability, supporting more precise budget planning and giving us flexibility in how funds are used.

ENDURING

Regular donations improve our agility during times of crisis or uncertainty. Flexible funding helps us efficiently and effectively respond to evolving community needs and enables Community Roots to serve more of our neighbors.

By giving monthly, recurring donors have a lasting impact on creating sustainable change.
