Marjy Stagmeier started out with a goal of just $50,000.
When affordable housing landlord Marjy Stagmeier started a GoFundMe at the beginning of the pandemic in hopes to help raise money for those in danger of eviction in Georgia, she didn’t know she’d bring in nearly $10 million.
Stagmeier found her nonprofit Star-C and began investing in old affordable apartments and quickly realized her tenants were low-income single parents. When the pandemic hit, many were laid off from their jobs and grappling with handing multiple children. That’s when she launched her campaign to raise money.
Not only did Stagmeier raise $50,000, but Cobb County local government found out about the eviction relief effort and voted to donate $1.5 million of their federal stimulus funding to the Star-C Eviction Relief Fund.
