About PIFF

Pay It Forward Foundation is the 501(c)(3) public charity affiliated with HomeDividend. PIFF receives tax-deductible contributions and deploys them as Program-Related Investments into the HomeDividend SPV, which originates pre-purchase shared-appreciation support for first-time homebuyers with thin credit profiles. Every donation buys a piece of a literal first home. Your name, your company, or the person you choose to honor is recorded permanently on the structure. When the SPV’s investments mature and capital returns, those returns recycle into PIFF’s endowment to fund the next vintage of homebuyers. The program is designed so that the same dollar funds homeownership repeatedly across decades.

The donation tiers reflect the actual structural elements of building a home: foundation stones, brick walls, windows, doors, and roofing. The cost scales accordingly. The total cost of fully completing one virtual house is approximately the cost of HomeDividend’s average pre-purchase equity-share contribution to one first-time buyer.

Pay It Forward Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3). EIN: [INSERT EIN]. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a written acknowledgment by email within 24 hours of your donation.
