Give a green gift below or click here to make a donation in any amount. Thank you for helping families in need this holiday season.
Support a Community Garden
Community gardens give people in need access to free, nutritious food for their families. The neighborhoods where Make It Right works are known as "food deserts", urban areas with little or no access to grocery stores that offer fresh and affordable foods. Community gardens bring neighbors together to grow the food they need for healthy and delicious meals.
Give an LED Light Bulb
LED light bulbs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent lighting and lasts 35 to 50 times longer, making them the clear choice for sustainable homes.
Donate Training In Green Construction
Training local laborers in green construction methods gives workers a new set of skills and helps spread green building practices throughout a region. With this gift, you can help a local worker – and our environment – thrive.
Donate a Gallon of Paint
The paint used inside many conventional homes contains harmful voltaic organic compounds (VOCs) that contaminate indoor-air quality and pose health risks to homeowners. Make It Right uses only no-VOC paint from Benjamin Moore. Help brighten the lives of people in need with a gallon of healthy paint.
Donate Playground Equipment
Our eco-playgrounds are constructed with sustainable materials and landscaped with native plants. The playgrounds are solar-powered and feature digital, physically active games for children. Help us build and maintain these beloved and beautiful spots for children in need.
Give Energy Star Appliances
Make It Right uses only ENERGY STAR rated appliances in all our homes. Typically ENERGY STAR certified products use 20%-30% less energy than conventional products. This gift supplies an energy-efficient refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer to one family.
Hire a Local Artist
Support local artists and beautify Make It Right's community spaces with this gift. We've hired local artists like New Orleans' Lionel Milton to paint beautiful murals inside our parks and community centers. Help us keep these places beautiful with artists' murals that represent and reflect the communities where we work.
Give a Pervious Concrete Sidewalk
Pervious concrete is porous and allows water to flow through it, reducing flooding, stormwater run-off and pollution. Make It Right uses pervious concrete on sidewalks, driveways and residential streets. Give this gift to pave the road home with this environmentally-friendly concrete.
The Ultimate Gift A Whole House
Want to give the ultimate present? Change a family's life by giving them a new home. Make It Right builds healthy homes for people in need - disabled veterans, disadvantaged families, victims of natural disaster and seniors. You can change someone's life by donating $150,000 - the cost of a single-family Make It Right home.
Give a Dual-Flush Toilet
Dual-flush toilets conserve water and aid overtaxed sewage systems. We think its the perfect present for your favorite brother-in-law.
Give Tools to the Lending Library
Tool lending libraries save homeowners money and reduce consumption and waste. Help communities in need keep their homes beautiful by donating a hammer, drill, shovel and other tools to a tool library.
Sponsor a Home For Disabled Vets
Bancroft School Apartments includes specially designed homes for disabled veterans and senior citizens. These apartments include accessibility features like elevator access, wider doorways, lower electrical outlets and thermostats, bathroom grab rails and more.
