Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community & Neighborhood Development, Economic Development, Human Service Organizations, Human Services
Mission: Spare Key’s mission is to provide assistance to families with a critically ill or seriously injured family member. No matter the illness, no matter the injury, no matter the income. We help families “Bounce and Not Break” through our Help Me Bounce platform, harnessing the power of crowdfunding to connect thousands of families directly to donors. We are committed to helping families stay by their loved one’s side by relieving the stress, anxiety and financial burden that comes with a medical crisis.
Results: Since 1997, Spare Key has been hard at work serving families with housing grants. We are proud and privileged to have been able to serve over 3,500 families with $3.5 million in housing grants during that time. Our motto, "No matter the illness. No matter the injury. No matter the income. We help families Bounce and Not Break," has been our guiding force from the first grant we were able to make. The Help Me Bounce Program allows us to do just that. This powerful new platform combines crowdfunding with Spare Key's direct financial support to help leverage social media and broader marketing tactics to raise more funds to help families cover their most pressing financial needs. Additionally, the Help Me Bounce Program provides a real-time blogging feature for families that allows them to share the progress of their family member's medical situation with their friends and family.
