- Ways to give
Your investment doesn't just give.
It multiplies.
Most funding reaches one organization. At Storehouse, one dollar unlocks the purchasing power of one hundred, flowing through 700+ Michigan nonprofits and schools serving families across the state.

Here's what happens to your dollar.
Storehouse acquires brand new corporate surplus goods at approximately 4% of retail value. That procurement power is what makes the math work.
When you fund Storehouse operations, every dollar you contribute enables us to bring in $100 worth of goods - household supplies, school materials, personal care products, building materials - that would otherwise sit in a warehouse or go to landfill.
Those goods flow to our 700+ member nonprofits and schools, who access Storehouse at deeply reduced cost. For every dollar a member organization spends, they receive $47 in products. Your funding powers the infrastructure that makes both numbers possible.

What nonprofits experience. For every dollar a member organization spends at Storehouse, they receive $47 in retail value products for the families they serve.
Your dollars flow through 700+ Michigan nonprofits and schools.
Here is where that impact concentrates.
Education
Schools and education nonprofits across Michigan access supplies and materials their budgets cannot cover.
Affordable Housing
Organizations building and maintaining affordable homes access brand new building materials at a fraction of retail cost.
Workforce Stability
Nonprofits supporting employed but under resourced workers get household goods that make a paycheck stretch further.
—DIRECT YOUR IMPACT
You decide where your generosity goes and
how hands on you want to be.
Most giving asks you to trust that your money lands somewhere meaningful. At Storehouse, you can see it. Choose the nonprofits and schools you want to support, and we'll show you exactly what your gift provided and who it served.
Pathway 01
In-Store Credit
Choose a member nonprofit or school you want to support. We add credit to their Storehouse account, and they shop for exactly what their students and families need. You receive a report showing what your gift provided.
Their shopping list. Your generosity.
Pathway 02
Shop to Give
Want to see the impact firsthand? Bring your team to the Storehouse warehouse and do the shopping yourself. You walk the aisles, select the goods, and designate which nonprofit or school receives them. Storehouse confirms eligibility. You make the choices.
An experience as meaningful as the gift itself.
Pathway 03
Program Giving
Passionate about a cause more than a single organization? Direct your gift to one of our three pillars (Education, Affordable Housing, or Workforce Stability) or to a specific program like the Teacher Resource Store or Book Bridge.
You choose the focus. We put it to work.
Whether you choose a school, shop in person, or fund a program, you'll know what your giving accomplished. That's what makes investing in Storehouse different.
—Financial Accountability
Know how your gift was used.
Transparency is built into every gift. Here's what you can expect when you invest in Storehouse.
TRACKED TO ITS PURPOSE
Every designated gift is tracked in our accounting system for its intended purpose.
IMPACT REPORTING
Reports summarize the number of nonprofits and schools reached, estimated value of goods and how much they saved.
CUSTOM REPORTS FOR YOUR TEAM
Formatted for how you actually use it: whether that's a one pager for your board or a detailed breakdown for your team.
—READY?
It starts with a conversation.
We don't do online donation forms for funders. We do relationships. If you're ready to talk about what a partnership with Storehouse could look like - whether that's a designated fund, an operational gift, or a warehouse visit - reach out. We'll take it from there.
