Bridge Builders
Pledge your support for Friendly House!
Pledged giving is an important way to support Friendly House. Pledges allow you to make a more significant commitment than you might otherwise make through a one-time donation by spreading payments over a period of time. Pledged giving not only supports our mission, but it allows Friendly House to plan for the future.
There are two options for pledged giving at Friendly House: Bridge Builder Pledges and Monthly Giving.
Bridge Builders
A Bridge Builder pledge is a donation made in scheduled payments over three years at the $500 level or above. Less than $42 a month is all it takes to start supporting Friendly House in this essential way. Our Bridge Builders are at the heart of Friendly House. You’ll receive special recognition at events and in publications, a custom-designed lapel pin by local jeweler betsy + iya, and many special opportunities as befit key supporters of our organization.

Many Rivers Monthly Givers
To be a part of our monthly giving program means you make a monthly commitment to support Friendly House at any level for a set term of your choice. In the often-inconsistent world of nonprofit donations, your recurring gift helps us to have income to rely on month after month. Monthly donors of any amount become one of our Many Rivers Monthly Givers, with access to ongoing information, opportunities and special recognition.
Becoming a pledged giver is simple.
If you would like to have your pledge charged to your credit or debit card visit our recurring donation page.
Complete the information on the page, including the amount of the periodic payment, the frequency of the payment and the number of payments. Enter your card information and submit the pledge. We will take care of the rest, including sending payment notifications and an annual summary of your support.
If you would like to make a pledge to pay by check or other method, or you have questions about becoming a pledged giver, email donate@fhpdx.org or call (503) 228-4391 and we can set up your pledge in a way that suits you best.
We thank our 2019 Bridge Builders and Many Rivers Monthly Givers—you are making a difference in our community every day!
