At Common Ground, we take our responsibility to our community and our donors seriously and we work hard to ensure long-term sustainability of our organization.
Income
Our work is supported by community grants, churches, and fundraisers, of course. But a large portion of our funding comes from individuals and families. Folks send checks, donate through their employers (who often match their donations), or drop donations into our donation box at the store. Many folks find it convenient to donate right here, through our web site. You can even set up an monthly donation, if you like. We appreciate every gift - thank you!
Expenses
Common Ground is a community-based nonprofit, sharing items between neighbors. We don't spend money for inventory like a traditional store, so our budget is very efficient, focusing on operations and supplies.
