Revolutionizing Impact
A NEW WAY TO INVEST
We are redefining the boundaries of social impact work. Our groundbreaking model leverages real estate to empower refugee families and create a perpetual cycle of impact.
By acquiring homes that generate sustainable income, we create safe and supportive environments for families while funding diverse initiatives that transform lives. Join us in revolutionizing the future of meaningful impact.
How Does it Work?
1
Rehab homes
100% of the money given to Compound Impact is used to purchase and rehabilitate distressed residential properties at a significantly discounted price. When we’re all finished, these run down homes are as good as new.
2
Serve familIES
Each property is made available to incoming refugee families who have fled their country due to persecution or war. These families have major barriers to safe, stable housing upon arrival to the US. Our homes help meet that need.
3
Fuel the gospel
Each property generates a growing profit over time. And 100% of all profits are channeled into some of the most effective missions and relief organizations working around the world. Forever. Like a sort of impact engine.
MAking Homes
We utilize a variety of advanced real estate strategies to obtain properties at a significant discount, allowing us to efficiently and effectively get families housed and make the most use of every dollar donated.
Based in Philadelphia
All of our homes are located in Philadelphia, which is home to a wide variety of cultures and resettlement communities from all parts of the world.
Refugee-Friendly Neighborhoods
All of our homes are located in neighborhoods that have strong cultural and community support, adequate public transportation, and a history of successful refugee resettlement.
Rejuvenating Distressed Houses
We specifically target homes in need of significant repair and utilize our team of contractors to get them into excellent condition.
Big Enough for the Whole Family
Our homes tend to be on the larger size in order to accommodate families resettling as a unit. Our target is 3 bedrooms when possible.

Serving families
We work to provide safe and stable housing for refugee families who face multiple barriers upon reaching Philadelphia. We make all of our homes available for refugee families.
Barriers to Housing
Refugee families are not able to meet the typical requirements that landlords require for renters, including a U.S. credit history and a verifiable income.
Serving Refugees
We make all of our homes available for refugee families. If a family decides to move out for any reason, a new family will be matched.
Indefinitely Sustainable
Our partner resettlement agencies help support our families for the first 3-6 months. After that point, most families are financially self-sustainable.
Our Partners
We partner with several resettlement agencies in order to best serve the refugee families we work with. Each family is assigned a caseworker from one of the agencies below before being matched to one of our available homes.
Fueling the gospel
100% of all profits generated from our impact homes are used to support some of the most effective organizations working in gospel missions, clean water, and hunger alleviation.

Frequently ASked Questions
Are donations tax deductible?
Yes! Compound Impact is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, meaning that every gift you make is fully tax deductible. You can give here.
How much are your admin costs?
All of our staff are self-supported, so every single cent you donate goes directly to funding new impact homes. We are passionate about efficiency and effectiveness, so we keep admin costs out of it!
Do you focus on a specific people or cultural group?
We equally accept refugee families from any nation or culture into our homes. While there are specific areas of the city where people from specific cultural backgrounds tend to settle, we do not preferentially choose one family over another based on cultural background.
How long do families stay in each home?
Each refugee family is welcome to stay as long as they want once they are placed. Based on prior experience, families often prefer to stay 1-2 years before moving in order to move closer to their friends, community, or jobs. When a family leaves, a new refugee family will be matched to the home.
