We are happy to announce the launch of our new online donation platform and page at theleohouse.com/donate. With a new and modern online donations platform, we offer a simple, safe, and secure way to support the mission of The Leo House from anywhere in the world.

Thanks to the powerful, user-friendly donation platform Givebutter, supporters can now make gifts online with ease and flexibility. Whether you want to make a one-time donation, set up a recurring monthly or annual donation, or honor a loved one, it is an easy process that takes only a few minutes. You can even give toward a specific initiative, such as our new ADA-accessible guest room. No matter what amount you give, your generosity helps continue our hospitality in the heart of New York City.

What You Can Do Using the New Online Donation Page:

There are many ways to donate and guide the intended use of your donation. We know how special it is to receive a donation and often people want to put their gift towards something meaningful. On this new platform, you can select to honor a loved one, provide their name, and we will remember them in a special way. Also, you can add a note to put your gift towards a specific purpose, such as beautifying the garden, renovating the chapel, finishing a new ADA-compliant guest room and more. Below are some other tasks you can complete on our new donation page:

• Choose a specific donation amount
• Set up a recurring gift at preferred timing (monthly, annual, etc.)
• Add simple tip to cover processing fees so your full gift goes towards your intended purpose
• Give in honor or memory of someone special
• Add a personal note with your gift
• Track campaign progress with a visible goal bar
• Receive an email receipt instantly for tax purposes

This new platform makes giving more convenient than ever. Every donation helps us serve guests from all walks of life with dignity, compassion, and care.

What Charitable Programs are Supported by Donations?

The Leo House provides support to our community through multiple charitable programs. Your donation will be put towards any of these charitable programs. Or, feel free to add a note with your donation to put your gift towards any specific cause. Learn more about our special offers and discounts.

Assistance for Families Visiting Loved Ones at Nearby Hospitals

Our most well-known charitable program includes how we provide assistance for families visiting loved ones in nearby hospitals and allow them to stay at a free or discounted rate. Our goal is to somewhat alleviate the financial burden for families experiencing the type of hardship that comes with an ailing family member.

Clergy Rates and Heroes Rate

Another popular charitable program is how we offer discounted stays for clergy, first responders, and military service members. These individuals provide selfless acts for their communities. We feel that offering a discounted rate is the least we can do to thank them for their service. In order to receive special rates, we must verify active ministry or active duty with valid identification. See details on our special offers page.

Supporting ADA Compliance

Another exciting initiative supported by donations is our ADA-compliant guest room and ADA renovations. Creating an ADA-compliant room involves renovations throughout the guest house. In addition to modifying guest rooms, The Leo House will address various areas to comply with the ADA checklist. These areas include building entrances, the lobby, interior routes, public use rooms, restrooms, interior signage, and food service areas. Given the historic nature of the brownstone building, the renovation process requires careful planning and execution. Nonetheless, The Leo House is eager to truly fulfill its goal of becoming a welcoming space for all travelers.

We thank you for learning about our new donations process and invite you to visit our new online donation page. Experience the difference your gift can make. Thank you for being a part of The Leo House family.
