Financially, Dismas relies on residential program fees for roughly 25% of funding, with the remainder coming from private, community, and foundational-based grants/funds along with funds from our community members. Dismas doesn’t receive any state or federal funding. We rely primarily on community donations from people like you!
Donation checks can be made out to Dismas House and mailed to:

Dismas cannot work without the support of its incredible volunteer base.
Hundreds of volunteers prepare meals throughout the year and Keenan Hall,
