The Star House Opportunity Fund

 A once-in-a-generation investment in youth opportunity—and in an organization built to deliver on our promises.

For 20 years, Star House has delivered on its promise: meeting young people where they are and walking alongside them as they exit homelessness and build independent lives. 

The Opportunity Fund is our next bold step: a strategic fund that allows us to scale what’s proven, launch new housing initiatives and expand youth workforce programs that meet the demands of today’s economy. Your gift helps Star House move quickly to meet needs and seize revenue opportunities when they arise, building a self-sustaining engine for youth opportunity.  

Your trust-based, unrestricted gift will be applied with intention and accountability to two critical priorities:

  • General Operations — ensuring the excellence of our current services remains uncompromised during this period of growth
  • Earned Income & Self-Sufficiency — fueling the entrepreneurial initiatives that will permanently reduce our reliance on government funding

Investment Levels: Naming opportunities are available for investments of $25,000 and above.

Visionary Partner | $1,000,000 — A gift of this magnitude could permanently anchor Star House’s path to self-sufficiency.

Opportunity Champion | $500,000 —  A gift at this level could build the infrastructure needed to launch and scale social enterprise initiatives that strengthen Star House for generations to come.
