Sleep Better America improves well-being by providing a clean, safe, comfortable mattress to people in need.
Current Fundraising Goal: Help Us Grow Our Impact
Sleep Better America is raising $250,000 to help us expand community partnerships, coordinate mattress and bedding donations, manage assistance requests, support grant applications, and serve more individuals and families in need this summer.
These funds will allow us to move from volunteer-powered outreach to a stronger, more reliable assistance program — helping more people sleep safely, comfortably, and with dignity.
$25 gives a child fresh bedding and a little more comfort tonight.
$50 helps turn a donated mattress into a real bed with sheets, a pillow, and warmth.
$100 helps us deliver a bed to a child who has been sleeping on the floor or couch.
$250 helps provide a safe, clean mattress for one child in need.
$500 helps a child have a complete place to rest: a mattress, bedding, and delivery.
$1,000 helps siblings move from the floor or couch into their own safe beds.
$1,500 helps a family create a healthier, more stable home with beds and bedding for multiple children.
$2,000 helps an entire family with beds and bedding for parents and multiple children.
