The donations have been slowly rolling in and we are past the half-way point for house #1 (Memphis, TN). Thank you to all donors for your generous support! We’re going to get there. It’s time to start the process of identifying the first hero recipient. Stay tuned!

Step 8… official 501(c)(3) status
It’s official! A Hero’s Home, Inc. is an approved 501(c)(3) organization. The effective date of that determination is March 30, 2018. Donors can deduct their contributions… we are really rolling now!
Step 7… obtaining tax-exempt status
The paperwork has been filed and A Hero’s Home, Inc. should be within 90 days of obtaining tax-exempt status… which would allow all of these generous initial donations to be fully tax-deductible.
Special thanks to Brandon Hall, CPA, for his hard work in preparing the filing!
Step 6… identifying the hero
Now that this thing is rolling it’s definitely time to talk about the process for determining which hero will be the recipient of the free-and-clear Memphis, TN home. We’re now teaming up with some local veterans groups to help in this process.
Step 5… launch
We are ready for our plan to become action! Our application for tax-exempt status has been filed, and our platform is now live and accepting donations to change the life of a hero family. We have a very special home picked out for our first hero family and crews have begun renovating. This beautiful Memphis TN home will soon belong to a deserving member of the United States Military, local law enforcement, fire or EMS free and clear.
Watch this page for updates on the progress of the renovation and announcements on the selection of a very deserving family. We can’t wait to make this vision a reality!
