Family Promise

About Family Promise

Family Promise Inc directs its giving toward preventing homelessness for families with children, with recent awards built around eviction diversion, shelter diversion, and housing stabilization. The largest listed grants go to local affiliates carrying out those programs: $196,988 to Family Promise of Southwest New Jersey for Eviction Diversion Initiative work and $171,422 to Family Promise of Burlington County for the same initiative. That pattern shows a funder using its national platform to support affiliate-led service delivery rather than broad unrestricted support. Its recent awards also connect housing help with practical stabilization tools. Family Promise of Spokane received $127,778 across Gerstner Helping Hands, Rainbow for Girls Grant, and Siemer Family Stabilization Grant funding, while Family Promise of Las Vegas received $120,000 through Gerstner Helping Hands and Siemer Family Stabilization Grant support. The grant list also includes repeated support for affiliates in New Jersey, Washington, Kansas, Oregon, and other states, reflecting a networked model centered on direct service for households at immediate risk of displacement or homelessness. Across the portfolio, the grants are mostly program-specific and tied to named initiatives rather than general operating support.

Eviction prevention is a clear throughline. Family Promise Inc gave $196,988 to Family Promise of Southwest New Jersey for the Eviction Diversion Initiative and $171,422 to Family Promise of Burlington County for the same purpose, indicating sustained support for keeping renters housed. Housing stabilization appears in multiple recent awards as well. Family Promise of Essex County received $35,803 tied in part to a FBH Housing Stabilization Grant, and Family Promise of the Jersey Shore received $35,741 with a FBH Housing Stabilization Grant among its sources. The foundation also funds shelter-diversion and emergency housing work. Family Promise of Delaware Co OH received $35,000 through Synchrony Shelter Diversion and FBH Prevention & Shelter Diversification support, while Family Promise of Greater Orlando received $34,750 including a FBH Eviction Prevention & Shelter Diversion Grant. Workforce and digital-capacity references appear too, including Family Promise of St Tammany’s 2023 grant mix with Grow With Google and Family Promise of West Michigan’s 2024 support that included a Target Circle Grant.
