<div>We are a small group of Powderhorn neighbors, and we have created this fund to administer direct financial support to meet the urgent needs of families in crisis as a result of being targeted by the current federal immigration enforcement activities in our community. Powderhorn is a community like no other. <strong> We are asking for your generous donations to help keep families in their homes this winter by directly supporting their rent and utilities expenses.</strong> Many individuals have not been able to work because it has become unsafe for them to leave their homes for fear of being detained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the sake of privacy and safety, these families must remain anonymous. We are connected with multiple specific families and these funds will go directly to supporting their needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We take care of each other, we keep each other safe, and we do so with love at the forefront.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe that hyper-local action is a powerful way to support those in need right now, and we are starting right where we live. Many of our friends, family members, and extended community members have been seeing what Minneapolis is experiencing and feeling helpless. <strong>You are not helpless. You can be part of this network of care for our neighbors. </strong>Your generous gift is truly saving the lives of people that we know, love, and will fight to protect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How are families identified?</strong>
</div>
<div>Families are identified through trusted community networks in Powderhorn For example, families learn of the fund through block groups, school networks, food shelves, and the intentional efforts of community members to reach out to those must vulnerable in this time. Needs surface organically through relationships, shared housing, care networks, and local connections. 
</div>
<div>To protect families, we do not publicly share identifying details.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How do I know my donation is being used to support families?</strong>
</div>
<div>Beneficiaries are vouched for by community members who know them personally or have began to know them through a request form for rental assistance. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How any remaining funds would be used if any were to be leftover?</strong>
</div>
<div>Funds are intended for ongoing rent relief and will roll over month to month. We understand that circumstances leading to the need for this fund may evolve. In the event that rent relief is no longer a pressing need in our community, we will redirect remaining funds toward long-standing and established food and basic needs support efforts in the Powderhorn neighborhood. Once a specific destination(s) is determined, GoFundMe donors will be informed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Is this a long-term program?</strong>
</div>
<div>This fund is designed to address immediate, short-term needs as they arise. While the fund may continue as long as needs persist, it is not a replacement for systemic solutions or public responsibility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How will donors receive updates?</strong>
</div>
<div>We commit to sharing general updates about the scope of need, the number of families supported, and how funds are being used in aggregate. We do not publish recipient details.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How can people support beyond donating?</strong>
</div>
<div>In addition to donating, supporters can:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Share the fundraiser within their networks
</li>
<li>Talk about why mutual aid matters in dense neighborhoods
</li>
<li>Support local efforts working toward long-term structural change
</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div><strong>3/16 Update: Community Impact Report March 2026</strong>
</div>
<div>Through collective action and thousands of acts of generosity, Powderhorn Rent Relief moved hundreds of thousands of dollars directly to renters and landlords across the neighborhood. 
</div>
<div>Together, we showed what is possible when neighbors take care of neighbors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-The Impact-
</div>
<div>$623,926
</div>
<div>distributed in rent relief
</div>
<div>308 unique households
</div>
<div>supported across Powderhorn
</div>
<div>6,169 donors
</div>
<div>who made this effort possible
</div>
<div>395 requests
</div>
<div>for assistance processed 
</div>
<div>74 households
</div>
<div>still waiting for help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Community-Powered Giving-
</div>
<div>This effort was powered entirely by community generosity.
</div>
<div>$643,227 raised (with about $60k on it's way)
</div>
<div>through neighbor-to-neighbor support.
</div>
<div>Contributions came from thousands of individuals who believed in keeping our neighbors housed.
</div>
<div>Total donors: 6,169
</div>
<div>Average donation: $104
</div>
<div>Largest gifts: $50,000 from the generous Wilson Foundation and our sub grant of $34,000 from Neighbors Helping Neighbors
</div>
<div>Donations ranged from small gifts to matched contributions, showing the power of collective action.
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised was used to provide direct rent assistance paid to landlords and property managers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Voices From Neighbors-
</div>
<div>Behind every number is a person trying to stay in their home.
</div>
<div>“Muchas gracias… bendiciones por todas las familias que han podido ayudar.”
</div>
<div>Thank you very much, and blessings for all the families you have been able to help.
</div>
<div>“No tengo palabras suficientes para darles las gracias… sin el apoyo de ustedes no podríamos seguir aquí.”
</div>
<div>I don’t have enough words to thank you. Without your support we would not be able to stay in our home.
</div>
<div>“Muchísimas gracias por la ayuda. Que Dios se lo multiplique.”
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for the help. May God multiply it back to you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-The Work Continues-
</div>
<div>Even with this incredible outpouring of support, the need remains.
</div>
<div>74 households are still waiting for assistance.
</div>
<div>Thanks to the generosity of the Wilson Foundation, our community received a $50,000 matching grant at the end of February along with a second one that was just unlocked through matching gifts. 
</div>
<div>Closing this gap will allow us to continue supporting families still waiting for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Looking Ahead- 
</div>
<div>April will be here in no time at all.
</div>
<div>We are expecting most families, though many returning to work, have lost a major income source during operation metro surge and will continue to need support. We are expecting the need to be around $225,000. Please continue your monthly donations, giving what you can, and sharing this fundraiser as we look towards sustainably supporting folks as they return back to work. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Thank You-
</div>
<div>To the 6,169 neighbors who contributed — thank you.
</div>
<div>Because of you, hundreds of Powderhorn families were able to stay in their homes through March 31st, 2026. 
</div>
<div>This is what community looks like! 
</div>
