Quarters
This page updates each quarter as paid contributions land. Until the first distribution clears, the ledger shows the empty commitment, by design.
The ledger
Every paid contribution. Every market. Public.
Quarterly distributions are listed below as they clear. The revenue basis column is the net subscription revenue the percentage was applied to for that market and quarter.
Partners
Vetted, local, refreshed annually.
We treat partner selection with the same rigor we use to vet pros. One to three organizations per market, picked for their measurable work on housing security, not for their letterhead.
Help us choose
We are still picking the first cohort. Your recommendation matters.
Until Homestead is live on the Gulf Coast, this page is a promise. The fastest way to shape it is to point us at organizations doing the work locally.
How it works
A pledge that survives a bad quarter.
We designed the pledge to be impossible to walk back without anyone noticing. That is the point. A public number on a public page, defined precisely, is the only kind of commitment we trust ourselves to keep.
Net subscription revenue
Gross subscription billings, minus refunds and chargebacks, minus payment processor fees. The 12% comes off that number, not off profit. It accrues even in unprofitable quarters.
Allocated by market
A market that produces 40% of a quarter's net subscription revenue receives 40% of that quarter's distribution into its local partner pool. Your membership funds where you live.
Quarterly, in arrears
Distributions are paid fifteen days after each quarter closes. The ledger above reflects what has cleared. Accruals are tracked internally and roll forward to the next quarter when needed.
Public by default
Every paid contribution appears on this page with the partner, market, quarter, and revenue basis. An annual impact report is published with our partners alongside the ledger.
Questions we have already answered
More than a marketing line.
Why 12% instead of 1%?+
One percent is the established philanthropic anchor and we admire the companies that hold it. We chose twelve because housing security sits adjacent to the problem Homestead exists to solve, and because we built the operating model to support the commitment. Latent release, local growth, and pricing on what we deliver, not on race-to-scale economics. The number changes the company. That is intentional.
What happens if Homestead loses money?+
The pledge is on net revenue, not profit. It accrues in down quarters and is paid in arrears alongside the others. The pledge surviving bad quarters is the part that makes it credible.
How are partners selected?+
One to three nonprofits per market, vetted for measurable impact on housing security in that geography. We refresh the cohort annually and publish our rationale. Habitat affiliates, weatherization, foreclosure prevention, senior repair, disaster rebuild, and housing legal aid are the categories we start with in each new market.
Can I recommend a partner?+
Yes. Use the contact page. We read every recommendation and reach out to the partners that fit our criteria.
