Case Study: Homes For Our Troops achieves expanded peer-to-peer fundraising and streamlined donations with Neon One (Neon Fundraise)

How Homes For Our Troops Builds Homes & Rebuilds Lives

Homes For Our Troops is a nonprofit that builds and donates specially adapted, mortgage‑free homes to severely injured post‑9/11 veterans, and relies heavily on community fundraising (about 65% of its operating budget) and dozens of third‑party events nationwide. To better support distributed peer‑to‑peer campaigns and simplify donation tracking, Homes For Our Troops turned to Neon One’s Neon Fundraise platform.

Using Neon One’s Neon Fundraise, HFOT equips third‑party fundraisers with customizable fundraising pages, ticketing, flexible data fields, and tailored receipts, which streamlines gift processing and makes attribution far easier for staff. The vendor’s tools support programs like “Run with Team HFOT,” help HFOT track and credit thousands of grassroots donors, and contribute to the organization’s growth—HFOT has built 315 specially adapted homes since 2014 while maintaining fundraising as a core revenue source.
