Projects Now in Progress or Under Consideration

• The Seeds for Jubilee Foundation "Oaks of Mamre" Project--Short Term Relief for Shelter 2020 (Program extended into January 2021 while funds remain)
  • ​Inspired by the powerful Hebrew scripture story of Abraham offering shelter to three strangers while unaware of their Divine nature, we are partnering with local faith community leaders to provide direct emergency assistance in November and December 2020 to individuals and families at risk of losing their safe shelter due to COVID19  pandemic related economic distress.
  • AIM--Bridge the gap between expiring state and federal government assistance by directly paying basic housing expenses (rent/mortgage, electricity, heat, or water) for beneficiaries at risk of losing safe shelter and who are nominated by faith communities.
  • Faith community leaders can find eligibility criteria and a one-page application to nominate needy families at the following project page link. 
  • JANUARY 2021 UPDATE: Thanks to our partnership with pastors identifying and nominating parishioners in need, we have been able to provide urgent help to nine families (elderly women or single moms with children) with compelling stories of hardship, COVID quarantine and impending eviction or utility shut-off.  By early December we expended our initial $8,000 seed money budget from the Foundation endowment to keep these folks safe in their homes for the short term.  The Seeds for Jubilee Foundation advisory board has a commitment for an additional $8,000 to double donations with a dollar for dollar match and generous donors are helping replenish the budget. (https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/OTk2NjY=) tracks project donations so far toward the match fund-raising goal. OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO DONORS RESPONDING TO THIS NEED THROUGH THE MATCHING FUND CHALLENGE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ACCEPT REQUESTS FROM FAITH LEADER SPONSORS THROUGH JANUARY AS LONG AS FUNDS REMAIN.
