What Noah Homes does

Noah Homes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1983 that provides residential care and life enrichment services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in San Diego County, California. The organization operates a campus-style care model on an 11-acre property at 12526 Campo Road, Spring Valley, comprising 10 residential homes that support 90 adult residents across a range of independence levels, including those requiring Memory Care for dementia. The service portfolio spans long-term residential care, Life Enrichment Day Programs, vocational and employment support, the Noah's PERCH social club (which extends programming to approximately 200 community members with I/DD beyond the resident population), a People First self-advocacy chapter, and the Training Institute of Excellence, which offers CEU-eligible, Department of Social Services-certified training to external care providers.

The revenue model blends government reimbursement with philanthropic and event-driven income. SSI/SSA board-and-care payments assigned to residents, supplemented by the San Diego Regional Center, cover the basic cost of care but exclude items such as toiletries, linens, additional staff training, vehicles, and home repairs. This produces an estimated $7,800-$10,000 shortfall per resident annually, aggregating to roughly $1 million. Noah Homes closes this gap through The Noah Society monthly giving program, one-time and major donations (including stock gifts), foundation and government grants, planned giving vehicles (CRATs, CRTs, charitable gift annuities), corporate sponsorships, and two signature annual events — Summerfest (a Route 66-themed fundraiser that raised $384,000 in June 2026) and the Enchanted Village Gala (which raised more than $600,000 in 2024). The organization operates debt-free.

Noah Homes does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its digital infrastructure is a Squarespace-hosted website, with donations processed through Qgiv and event ticketing through EnchantedVillage.org. Operations are supported by a 30+ vehicle fleet for resident transport, and the organization maintains a waitlist indicative of demand exceeding supply. The organization is led by Executive Director Sandra Rocco-Melville (with the organization since 1987) and governed by a Board of Directors, and is accredited under the GuideStar Gold Seal of Transparency.

Revenue model

1. Government Funding (SSA/SSI and Regional Center): Noah Homes receives government funding through Supplemental Security Income (SSI)/Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits assigned to residents, supplemented by funding from the San Diego Regional Center. This covers board and care payments. However, the State of California does not reimburse Noah Homes for many costs such as toiletries, linens, additional staff training, vehicles, and home repairs, creating an annual shortfall.
2. Noah Society Monthly Giving Program: Monthly donor program (The Noah Society) providing consistent recurring revenue. Members donate any monthly amount or are major donors ($100,000+ lifetime, $5,000+ in the last calendar year, or $2,500+ in each of the last five years). Noah Homes operates debt-free thanks in part to this monthly giving base.
3. One-Time and Major Donations: General donations, stock gifts, and major gifts from individuals. Stock gifts allow donors to avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction. The organization raises approximately $1 million annually to fill the gap left by government funding.
4. Planned Giving / Legacy Gifts: Planned giving vehicles including Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts (CRATs), Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs), and Charitable Gift Annuities. These provide donors with income streams, tax benefits, and a lasting legacy at Noah Homes.
5. Corporate Sponsorships and Event Revenue: Corporate partnerships and event sponsorships for Summerfest and the Enchanted Village Gala. Event tickets (Enchanted Village Gala tickets start at $200) and auction items also generate revenue.
6. Grants: Grant funding from foundations and government sources to support programs, housing, care, and training initiatives.
