Gift Registry
You can "register" at RTP for your wedding, milestone birthday, or other special occasion. This alternative to a traditional gift registry lets you express a commitment to improving the quality of life for low-income communities. Contact Jen Wootten if you want guidance or support in asking your friends and family to make gifts to RTP in lieu of tangible presents.

How You Can Help
"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get -
only what you are expecting to give - which is everything."
Katharine Hepburn

Time, talent, tools, and treasury are the ingredients needed for RTP's success. Find the role or roles that suit your values, energies, and abilities.

TIME & TALENT

RTP is 1,000 volunteers strong supported by a very small staff and a dedicated Board of Directors. Are willing to give some of your most precious asset for a good cause? Check out how you can be a:

  • skilled volunteer
  • general volunteer
  • team leader (lead organizer of a House Management Team)

Everyone has something to contribute and RTP is fortunate whenever someone lends their particular expertise to a specific project. Individuals and student teams have undertaken projects ranging from updating our homeowner resource manual to a research-based study on how to attract more skilled volunteers. See the descriptions of our committees and contact Jen Wootten if you are interested in learning about specific behind-the-scenes projects..

TOOLS

Besides roofing, RTP's largest investments are in the supplies, materials, and tools needed for the repair projects. If you represent a manufacturer or supplier, let us know so that we can determine how to put your product to work immediately. Contact Steve Seweryn, Executive Director.

TREASURY

RTP relies on volunteers' generous gifts of time and energy, but cannot put the volunteers to work without your generous financial gift (fully tax-deductible) to help pay for materials and services.  We need to raise $425,100 to leverage volunteer efforts in 2007-2008.

  • $3,000 sponsors the repairs for an entire house
  • $2,000 provides a homeowner with a new roof
  • $1,000 replaces six windows
  • $500 subsidizes a major plumbing repair
  • $250 replaces a water heater, flue pipe and leaking drain lines
  • $100 fixes basement steps
  • $50 replaces a door lock or installs two handrails in a two-story home
