Donate | Threshold Fund The Threshold Fund is designed to put philanthropic dollars to work by guarantying construction loans for affordable housing projects. As a result, your gift helps to significantly reduce the cost of capital which means more affordable homes are built for less money. That means more safe, stable homes for more of our neighbors. Even more exciting, the funds can be used over and over again. More homes, more families, lives changed for the better. The Threshold Fund is a collaboration between Habitat for Humanity of Whatcom County, Kulshan Community Land Trust and the Community Foundation. Habitat and KushanCLT came to the Community Foundation with a great idea and invited the Community Foundation to be a part of it. |
