Donors,<br \/>\nnonprofits, and homeless individuals who use HandUp.org can expect the same level of service<br \/>\nfrom SOS as they receive from the HandUp team.<br \/>\nIn 2013, HandUp launched as a public benefit corporation with the mission to use technology and<br \/>\nthe power of human relationships to fight urban poverty. Led by CEO Rose Broome and COO<br \/>\nSammie Rayner, HandUp has raised $2.4 million in donations for 100 nonprofits across the<br \/>\ncountry, helping 25,000 people meet basic needs like housing and medical care.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is a big milestone for us after four years of building HandUp and scaling across the country.<br \/>\nWe\u2019re excited our mission and technology will live on with SOS,\u201d says Rose Broome.<br \/>\nWhile SOS will maintain HandUp\u2019s online fundraising tools, the San Francisco-based street Gift<br \/>\nCard program will be put on hold. Gift Cards are physical cards worth $25 that donors give directly<br \/>\nto people experiencing homelessness to cover basics like food and clothing. The program will run<br \/>\nthrough the end of the year, so if you\u2019ve recently purchased Gift Cards there\u2019s still time to give<br \/>\nthem out.<br \/>\nSOS became HandUp\u2019s first nonprofit partner outside of San Francisco in 2014. They were<br \/>\nworking to build their own fundraising platform when they discovered HandUp already existed.<br \/>\nThree years later, SOS is one of HandUp\u2019s most active partners and has spearheaded new<br \/>\ninitiatives using the platform. SOS secured $100,000 in grants from the McGregor Fund and The<br \/>\nCommunity Foundation for Southeast Michigan to launch the HandUp Detroit Collaborative.<br \/>\nWith this strong base, SOS is ready to carry forward the vision of HandUp as a philanthropic<br \/>\ninitiative with great social impact. From Ryan Hertz, SOS CEO, \u201cHandUp\u2019s tools have empowered<br \/>\nus to better fulfill our own mission: building communities that end homelessness. We are proud to<br \/>\ninherit and continue HandUp\u2019s legacy as we extend our work into building digital communities.\u201d<br \/>\nTo learn more about the transition, visit blog.handup.org\/sos-transition.
