A national foundation that partners with roofing companies to give free roof replacements and repairs to homeowners who need one and can't afford one. So no family loses their home to a hole in the ceiling.
Insurance non-renewal. Mold. Ceiling collapse. Loss of the equity a family has spent a lifetime building. For a household already stretched by medical bills, a job loss, or the death of a spouse, a $15,000 roof isn't a home improvement decision. It's an impossibility.
The Every Shingle Heart Foundation exists to change that equation. We connect homeowners in genuine need with licensed roofing companies who volunteer materials and labor. We coordinate the project, verify the need, and cover any gap donations can bridge. And we say thank you loudly, because the people doing this work deserve it.
Every roof we cover is a partnership between someone who gives, a company who builds, and a neighbor who nominates a family they know needs help.
Every dollar goes to materials and labor for a specific family's roof. Operating costs are covered by partner companies, so 100% of your gift lands on a rooftop. Any amount helps, and recurring monthly gifts fund more roofs, faster.
Give nowRoofing companies commit to one donated roof per year at cost. In return you're named on every project you deliver, featured on our site, and part of a national community of contractors changing how the trade shows up for its customers.
Talk to usIf you know someone whose roof is failing and who can't afford to replace it, tell us their story. Every application is reviewed with dignity. We ask about the situation, the roof, and the household, never about credit.
Submit a nominationTwelve families housed under new roofs by December 31. Founding partner roofing companies in three states. And one growing conversation about why "I can't afford it" shouldn't be the end of a call to a roofer. The families are already out there. The roofers are already generous. We're the connective tissue.
The Every Shingle Heart network launches with these partner roofing companies. Each has committed to donating labor and materials for at least one full roof per year. This is who they are.
Josh McKisic and the Happy Roof crew launched the Foundation and donate $100 from every roof replacement back to the fund.

Miriam McKisic spent a decade as an industrial engineer before building a real-estate practice in Tampa Bay. Both careers taught her the same lesson: the interesting problems live in the gap between what someone genuinely needs and what's obviously available to them.
That gap is the whole story of a family who needs a new roof and can't afford one. Watching her husband Josh run Happy Roof, Miriam kept seeing the pattern that plays out at almost every trades company, a family in need, a roofer who wants to help, and no formal way to close the loop.
So she built one. The Foundation launches with Happy Roof as founding partner in Tampa Bay, with a plan to bring roofing contractors in Orlando, Jacksonville, and other metros into the network as we scale. Helping one family is a good day. Building the infrastructure to keep doing it, month after month, city after city, is what changes an industry.
100% of your gift funds materials and labor for a specific family. Give monthly to sustain the fund, or make a one-time gift toward the next project.
Donations are processed securely. Your gift is tax-deductible upon issuance of the Foundation's IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter (application in progress). A receipt is emailed for every donation.
