Support
Make a Difference Today
Your support transforms lives. Every dollar contributes to creating supportive, structured homes for individuals in recovery. Together, we can empower more people to regain independence and build a brighter future.
At the Vanderburgh Foundation, we believe in creating lasting impact through targeted initiatives that strengthen the recovery housing ecosystem. Our Lanes of Giving support individuals in recovery, equip operators with essential resources, and improve the quality and sustainability of recovery homes. Each lane—Stability, Growth, Renewal, and Innovation—addresses a vital aspect of the recovery journey and the broader field of recovery housing.
Why support the Vanderburgh Foundation?
Donating to the Vanderburgh Foundation means supporting an organization that is relentlessly dedicated to the recovery community. Our homes provide stability, accountability, and peer support — giving individuals in recovery the opportunity to change their lives and gain back their independence – something that the disease of addiction strips away from them. For perspective on what it’s like to be in recovery, read Denise’s story.
More than 40 million people in the U.S. are affected by substance use disorders. Your gift makes a direct, tangible impact — not just on one person, but on families, communities, and future generations. Recovery transforms lives, and your support makes that transformation possible.
The Four Lanes That Drive Our Mission
Stability
The Stability Lane helps individuals take their first steps into recovery housing by removing financial barriers. For many, the transition into a structured sober living environment is a critical turning point — but the upfront cost can be overwhelming. This lane provides financial assistance for a guest’s first 30 days, giving them the opportunity to settle in, focus on their recovery, and begin building a foundation for long-term success.

Growth
Help us expand access to recovery housing by supporting the Growth Lane. This initiative empowers new and existing operators to open recovery homes in communities that need them most. Through grants and financial assistance, we foster the development of safe, structured environments where individuals in recovery can heal, grow, and thrive.
Help us establish 10 new recovery homes in 2025
Renewal
Help us preserve and enhance the spaces where recovery happens. The Renewal Lane provides funding for renovations, upgrades, and essential improvements to existing recovery homes. By maintaining safe, comfortable, and welcoming environments, we ensure that each home continues to support healing, dignity, and long-term recovery.

Innovation
Help us advance the future of recovery housing. The Innovation Lane invests in technology, tools, and training that strengthen the recovery housing field. From developing custom software and communication systems to expanding operator training and support resources, this lane drives innovation that improves outcomes, increases efficiency, and empowers operators to better serve their communities.
