🤔 What Is HomeFundIt™?

HomeFundIt™ is the first and only online down payment gifting platform that allows buyers to receive contributions from friends, family, coworkers, and supporters — not just relatives 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨.

Instead of complicated paperwork and offline gifting 😵‍💫, HomeFundIt brings everything online with a simple, secure process 🔐.

⚙️ How HomeFundIt™ Works

💳 Easy Digital Contributions

Anyone you invite can contribute to your down payment in just a few clicks using a U.S. debit or credit card ✔️. No checks, no bank visits, no awkward conversations 🙌.

Your unique HomeFundIt link can be shared on:

  • 📱 Social media

  • 📧 Email

  • 💬 Text messages

  • 🌐 Personal websites or landing pages

Sharing is easy — and every contribution gets you closer to homeownership 🏠.

💰 Down Payment Matching Through Freddie Mac BorrowSmart℠

Eligible buyers may qualify for free down payment matching funds through the Freddie Mac BorrowSmart℠ Program 🚨.

Matching options include:

  • 🟢 $1,500 for buyers earning less than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI)

  • 🔵 $1,000 for buyers earning 50%–100% of AMI
    (Buyers in the 80%–100% AMI range must purchase in a high-needs census tract or a manufactured home)

In some cases, contributions can be matched at $2 for every $1, up to $2,000 🤯 — that’s real money toward your home.

🛍️ Bonus: Grow Your Down Payment with UpIt™

HomeFundIt also offers a second way to grow your down payment through the UpIt™ feature 🛒.

Supporters can shop online at participating retailers, and cash-back rebates (averaging 7.5%) are automatically pledged toward your down payment 💵➡️🏡.

Shop. Earn. Buy sooner 😎.
