Sponsor a Space provides community-sponsored professional organizing services, referred by social services partners like you.

Sponsor A Space only accepts applications from our partnering agencies.
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
  1. Applicant has been engaged with the referring agency for at least 1 month.
  2. Applicant is in a stable living environment in El Paso County.
  3. Applicant is not otherwise able to afford professional organizing services.

This is not a requirement. What is most important is to get a sense of how clutter and disorganization in their space is impacting the applicant’s life.

Sponsor A Space provides one two-hour follow up organizing session with one organizer to fine-tune the organizing systems put in place.

1. Complete an application with your client.
2. Applications are reviewed the first Wednesday of the month.
Applications must be received by the first day of the month to be considered that month.
3. The referring agency and applicant will be notified within 3 business days if the application has been accepted or not.

People can feel a lot of shame around an unmanageable household. Here are suggestions for approaching this topic:
  1. Curiosity: “I’ve noticed that ____ seems stressful to you.”
     - Keeping track of papers
     - Finding items
     - An overflowing pantry
  2. Empathy: “You are dealing with a lot. It makes sense that ____ feels unmanageable.”
  3. Offer: “Mind if I share an idea? I know an place that offers professional organizing at no cost. They help people tackle clutter and create systems to make daily life easier. Are you interested in learning more?”
*Our website SponsorASpace.org outlines our services for potential clients. We also have flyers you can share with clients.

Our services are very personal. Sponsor A Space is very respectful of the fact that clients are inviting us into their home. Funding for our organizing projects relies on the positive impact of our services. We may share non-identifiable information about projects for fundraising or promotional purposes.

Sponsor A Space is not currently structured to assist with whole house projects like those featured on Hoarders. Each project has a targeted approach to address safety and well-being needs.
