Effective Date: January 3^rd 2026

By submitting an application, providing consent, or participating in any aspect of the AssistMyHome charitable fundraising activities and housing assistance programs administered by AssistMyHome (“AssistMyHome,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), you (“you,” “applicant,” or “beneficiary”) expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree to be legally bound by the following Terms and Conditions, including our Privacy Policy and any applicable supplemental policies.

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. By checking the box labeled “I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions,” you acknowledge that:

1. Purpose of AssistMyHome

AssistMyHome is a nonprofit initiative that conducts and administers charitable fundraising activities in support of qualified individuals and families seeking to achieve stable housing through collective financial contributions. We do not offer, sell, or guarantee homes, housing placements, or financial grants.

Our services include:

Reviewing applications submitted by individuals/families.
Selecting eligible participants (“beneficiaries”) to participate in charitable housing assistance campaigns administered by AssistMyHome.
Publishing approved beneficiary information for charitable awareness and fundraising purposes.
Administering and disbursing charitable funds in accordance with organizational policies and mission-aligned purposes.

2. Eligibility and Application

By applying to AssistMyHome, you certify that:

All information provided in your application and any future correspondence is accurate, complete, and truthful to the best of your knowledge.
You are 18 years of age or older.
You reside in the United States and are legally able to participate in a charitable program.

We reserve the right to disqualify any application that contains false, misleading, or incomplete information, or that violates these Terms.

3. Consent to Publication and Public Disclosure

If selected as a beneficiary, you authorize AssistMyHome to use, publish, and disclose your profile — including your name, likeness, photograph, biographical details, and general story — for the sole purpose of attracting charitable contributions and supporting charitable housing-related fundraising activities.

You may request an anonymous profile or limit public details during the consent process. However, you understand and accept that:

Anonymous profiles may reduce donor engagement.
Even with limited information, your participation may be discoverable.
Once published online, complete privacy cannot be guaranteed.

4. No Guarantee of Support

Selection as a beneficiary to participate in charitable housing assistance fundraising activities administered by AssistMyHome does not constitute a guarantee of:

Any amount of donations or financial support;
Receipt of funds sufficient for home purchase or rental;
Homeownership, housing placement, or legal housing rights;
Approval for credit, loans, or other third-party financing.

Fundraising outcomes depend solely on donor participation. You agree that AssistMyHome is not liable if contributions are insufficient to meet your housing needs.

Also, due to the volume of applications received, only a limited number of individuals or families will be selected for public fundraising each cycle. Submission of an application does not guarantee consideration and selection to feature on website.

5. Use of Funds

Donations made through Housing Assistance Campaigns supporting individuals or families are subject to a Operational Support Fee.

AssistMyHome applies a small Operational Support Fee to donations made to Housing Assistance Campaigns in order to sustain the infrastructure, verification process, and services required to operate the program. This fee is deducted only after third-party processing fees are applied:

For donations/Contributions under $25 – a flat $1 Operational Support Fee applies.
For donations/Contributions of $25 or more a 3.5% Operational Support Fee applies.

These fees are allocated to AssistMyHome’s general operational fund to help cover core costs necessary to run and grow the organization and its charitable programs and fulfill its mission.

All donations received by AssistMyHome are charitable contributions subject to AssistMyHome’s exclusive discretion and mission-aligned use. Beneficiaries understand and agree that:

Donated funds will not be distributed directly to them in the form of cash, checks, or personal transfers.
Funds will be paid directly to third-party entities such as:
- Verified real estate sellers (individuals or institutions),
- Escrow companies or title agencies,
- Mortgage lenders or financial institutions involved in the home purchase transaction, or
- Other approved vendors directly related to the approved housing goal (e.g., closing costs, necessary fees).

AssistMyHome reserves the right to:

Verify all documentation related to the intended purchase,
Require submission of valid purchase agreements or housing contracts,
Decline disbursement if terms are not aligned with the mission, or if the transaction appears illegitimate, inflated, or high-risk.

Under no circumstances shall any beneficiary be entitled to unrestricted access to the funds, or to use them for unrelated or personal purposes.
All funds are maintained and administered by AssistMyHome exclusively for charitable and mission-aligned purposes, and may be redirected if not used within a reasonable timeframe or if conditions are unmet.

Fundraising Cap and Use of Excess Funds
