Celebrate 35 years of NPHS at an elegant evening of dinner, live auction, and community impact, Friday, October 16 at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium.
In the Inland Empire, homeownership is slipping out of reach.
Rising prices. Stacking costs. Down payments out of reach.
NPHS has spent 35 years closing the home ownership Gap — and your sponsorship keeps it going.
Join us as we stand with families building stability.
On October 16, 2026, NPHS invites you to Making Home Happen Gala, at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium for an unforgettable evening celebrating 35 years of making homeownership possible across the Inland Empire.
Corporate sponsors, civic leaders, building partners, and long-time friends will come together for one shared purpose: to stand behind families building stability.
We are gathering to:
• Ensure affordable housing is available across the Inland Empire.
• Help families get the tools and knowledge to achieve homeownership.
• Celebrate 35 years of NPHS.
• Invest in families who are working hard toward a better future.
This gala is a chance to raise real money, change real lives, and have a great time.
Homeownership changes everything.
• It creates stability for children.
• It builds equity over time.
• It turns monthly payments into long-term wealth.
But for many families in our region, one barrier stands in the way: cash at the finish line.
Families who are financially ready to own are often stopped at the last step. Down payment. Closing costs. The final gap between renting and owning.
That is why the Making Home Happen Gala is launching the Generational Wealth Building Fund, presented by City National Bank.
Through this fund, we will provide $5,000 grants to 35 families in our community.
Each grant goes directly toward down payment assistance, closing costs, and the final gap that prevents a family from getting the keys to their home.
This is not a handout. It is a bridge.
• A bridge from renting to owning.
• From uncertainty to stability.
• From surviving to building wealth.
Together, we can help 35 families cross the threshold into homeownership. And when they walk through that door, they do not walk alone. They walk forward with opportunity.
Every dollar raised at the Making Home Happen Gala stays in our region — strengthening families in Riverside, San Bernardino County, and communities across the Inland Empire.
When you sponsor the Making Home Happen Gala, you are not just putting your logo on a table. You are choosing to stand — publicly — with Inland Empire families who are working hard toward something better. That is the kind of leadership people remember.
Being part of this gala means:
• Families gain access to affordable housing.
• Children grow up in stable homes.
• Seniors have support to stay in their homes.
• More people in the Inland Empire have the foundation they need to thrive.
Not being part of this gala means those families wait longer. Work harder. And face barriers that your investment could have removed.
This is your opportunity to do something meaningful. And to be recognized as the leader who made it possible.
