GIVE THE GIFT OF SPONSORSHIP

Sponsors are an essential part of the Casa Mariposa community. At Casa Mariposa, we keep rents as low as possible. But even with that, many families cannot afford to pay their full rent. Sponsors make up the difference, so that Casa Mariposa can keep continue providing housing to our residents regardless of their ability to pay.

Monthly Sponsors commit to making an ongoing monthly payment of $25 - whatever they can afford for a length of time that they decide. Sponsorship money that we receives goes to bills, upkeep and rent of Casa Mariposa, allowing us to keep individual family’s rents to levels they can afford. Monthly sponsors are essential to giving our community the flexibility to provide support in the face of changing needs.

“I love the model of having families work and pay what they can, while enlisting the help of community members to fill the gap. Being a sponsor or donor is a concrete way to welcome immigrants… The fact that families typically live there for a year or so before moving into independence is evidence that the model works. Being a sponsor enables me to be part of it.” - A. M., Farmington, Maine

Sustaining Sponsors make a single larger donation to support the residents of Casa Mariposa. When we receive a sustaining sponsorship payment, we assign it to our greatest need at hand.

The Casa Mariposa model only works to provide stable housing for our families because everyone gives what they can. What can you give? To find out more or become a sponsor, reach out to Jean Hamburg at: CasaMariposaLynn@gmail.com
