A $50 contribution could cover the cost of one weekly Tuesday evening Coffee Night for I-House residents and SJSU students who visit I-House to relax and meet each other. A recurring donation of $50/month could cover nearly a full semester of Coffee Nights. Imagine providing munchies for dozens of students from around the world who come together socially at I-House on a weekly basis. A $50 contribution could also cover the cost of ONE cushion for a Dining Room chair.

A $100 contribution could cover the cost of 2 residents to start out the semester participating in the annual I-House resident bus trip to San Francisco in the Fall semester or Monterey/Carmel in the Spring semester. A recurring donation of $100/month could cover the cost of 30 residents participating in one of these memorable start-of-the-semester kick-off bus trips.

Contributions by you and 19 other people at the $250 level could cover costs to host the Internationally-Inspired Pancake Breakfast for one semester. Making a $250/month recurring donation means that one contributor alone could cover most of the costs of Internationally-Inspired Pancake Breakfast for one semester. A recurring donation at this level could also cover the cost to purchase one leather couch that seats three people.

A $500 contribution can be applied towards purchase of the latest tech items allowing I-House to offer state-of-the-art equipment for resident use. A recurring donation of $500/month covers the cost of three matching leather sofas for the TV room. And while it may not be glamorous, one donor making a recurring donation of $500/month could nearly cover the cost of the annual property tax paid by I-House.

Your $1,000 donation could help I-House hire a resident to work as a student assistant in the role of Receptionist, Computer Aide, or Coffee Night Aide. A recurring donation at this level could cover the cost of several high-quality pieces of furniture for the Living Room.

With a $5,000 donation 7 bedrooms could be re-carpeted -- or, for a student who could not otherwise afford to live at I-House, it could open the door to an opportunity to be a resident. A recurring donation of $5,000/month could pay for re-carpeting and re-painting all of the bedrooms. Alternatively, recurring monthly donations of $5,000 could be used to incentivize 20 new residents to apply to live at I-House.

At the $10,000 contribution level, multiple scholarships could be made available to current and prospective residents, which broadens the appeal of I-House living to students from diverse backgrounds. $10,000 monthly recurring donations by one or more donors would provide a very significant contribution to keep the I-House facility in top-notch condition, and would allow I-House to stand-out among housing choices for prospective residents.
