North Texas Giving Day is a very important day for us, at MDHA, in our effort to end homelessness. You may be wondering: Why should I give to MDHA on September 20, 2018? Let’s, actually, break it down:
Q: With so many great causes out there, why should I give, specifically, to MDHA, an organization fighting to end homelessness?
A: The foundation for everything in life is a home. Without a home, how do you escape poverty, maintain your health, or educate a child? It can’t be done.
Q: Of all the organizations fighting to end homelessness, why should I give, specifically, to MDHA?
A: Research shows that the only way to make real progress is through collective impact, many organizations working together to achieve a common goal, like ending homelessness. Research further shows that you need a strong backbone organization, like MDHA, to lead the collective impact, in order for it to work.
Q: I thought you are funded by the government, so why are you asking me to donate?
A: Here is how our funding works: We must show that for every $3 the government gives us, we have raised $1. If we can’t we, literally, have to give the money back. That is why your donations are so critical to our work. Every dollar you give powers $3 more dollars of funding.
