Help a Neighbor

Support Our Work

While we receive most of our funding from various federal, state, and county grant programs, we must competitively apply for these funds. These grant programs all come with their own strict requirements, and the amount of funding available changes with the political and budgetary winds.

Private donations can fill gaps and give us the flexibility to help folks who don’t fit neatly into any of the grant programs’ eligibility requirements. When you give to ORHA, you invest in your neighbors.

The need for housing assistance in Otsego County is great.

You can help.

Are you interested in volunteering your time and energy to fundraise for ORHA? We would be more than happy to talk to you about your ideas!

Employer Matching

Some workplaces will “match” your donation to a non-profit by making the same donation to the same organization. It’s one way you can make a bigger impact with no extra cost to you. Talk to your employer to find out if they have a matching gift program and how you can sign up.

In-Kind Giving

If you have skills or resources relevant to our mission, we welcome the opportunity to speak with you about how you can help ORHA. Gifts helpful to ORHA might include marketing services, good-quality modular ramps, or office supplies and equipment.
