Our Story
Mortgage Professionals Providing Hope (MPPH) is the product of a life-changing trip President and Founder, Dale Vermillion, took to rural India in 2001 to meet Terupatanama.
Dale supported “Teru” as a donor for years until one day he decided to travel more than 8,000 miles to meet her in real life. The encounter was so moving that when Dale got back, he set out on a mission to raise support for orphans and impoverished children like Teru.
Five years later, that mission gave birth to MPPH, an organization committed to providing mortgage companies and individuals with opportunities to help people and communities in need through sustainable aid and service projects.
For years, MPPH has lived out this mission by partnering with IREF to feed, clothe and house impoverished and orphaned kids in south central India.
After 8 years of rewarding work in Adhra Pradesh, MPPH is expanding its horizons this year to take on partners and projects in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, in addition to launching all new programs right here in the United States.
Dale’s son, Jake, left a position managing projects in Africa to lead this exciting new initiative. Under his direction, MPPH is excited to take a project-specific approach to addressing the large-scale humanitarian issues plaguing the developing world.
Moving forward, MPPH will maintain a portfolio of small spanning a range of countries, development goals, and social issues that mortgage companies and individuals can contribute to with a one-time, or by enrolling in our Humble Hero Program.
Companies that commit to supporting three projects in a single year will be honored as an official MPPH corporate sponsor and will receive free marketing materials as well as a dedicated page on mpph.org as thanks for their invaluable partnership.
The future is bright at MPPH! As we continue to deploy and perfect these and other initiatives in the coming weeks and months, we are committed—as always—to minimizing overhead costs so that 95% of every gift goes directly to those you, our supporters, work so hard to help.
We hope you’ll stick with us on this journey, and thank you for the amazing work you have made possible as a member of this growing force for good.
