Featured Member Campaigns in 2024

National MI - $.24 for 2024

National MI was built on the dream of making home ownership more accessible to all. National MI believes that people and communities should come first. For the past year, families have faced enormous challenges. The pandemic upended our economy, disrupted industries and made caring for our families much harder. 

In 2024, National MI is doing even more to help struggling families. In partnership with the MBA Opens Doors Foundation to help families with critically ill or injured children stay in their homes, National MI will donate $0.24 per every new loan insured in 2024 to help families facing some of hardest challenges of their lives -- the critical illness or injury of a child AND the potential loss of their home.

Learn more about $.24 for 2024 here.

CCMS Cares: Supporting Families in Need

The CCMS Cares: Supporting Families in Need campaign is a year long campaign seeking funds to support families burdened by the extraordinary expense of caring for a critically ill or injured child. The campaign leans into the CCMS Community's values and commitment to neighbors and families whose homes are in jeopardy because of their child's medical crisis.

Please join us by donating to CCMS Cares: Supporting Families in Need and help us keep families with critically ill or injured children in their homes.

Take a look at some of the activities our donors are engaged in:

CMB Society 

The CMB Society understands that there are many worthy causes that need and deserve our support. But perhaps no cause is more closely aligned with the work we do in the mortgage banking industry than that of keeping families in their homes when they are at their most vulnerable. 

To that end, with unwavering support from members of the Mortgage Bankers Association, the MBA Opens Doors Foundation aids, nurtures and empowers families and communities through its Home Grant Assistance Program by providing mortgage and rental assistance grants to families with critically ill or injured children, allowing parents or guardians to take unpaid leave from work and spend precious time with their child without jeopardizing their cherished homes.

The CMB Society is a proud supporter of the MBA Opens Doors Foundation. If you are a CMB Society member, please visit this special, CMB dedicated donation form and pledge your support today: https://give.mbaopensdoors.org/CMB

National MI – National MI is partnering with the MBA Opens Doors Foundation to give a portion of the premium received for every loan it insures to Opens Doors to help families in crisis stay in their homes. The sponsorship began on January 1, 2020, and has continued each year since.

Eagle Home Mortgage – Eagle Home Mortgage Clearwater raised over $11,900 for Opens Doors during their Eagle Home Mortgage Clearwater Derby in the spring of 2019.

"Thank you for all your generosity and support you have extended to our family. We can't thank you enough for selecting our family as one of the recipients of your generous financial gifts. Your thoughtfulness moved us to tears and truly has helped us through such a difficult time. When your child has a life ending illness you take each day as it comes. Some days are better than others. But the one constant in our lives are the friends, community and complete strangers that pray for our family. We consider you to be part of our family. For all you do, we thank you."
