# Charitable Micro-Homes TaskRabbit's New Campaign Puts a Time Limit on the Construction of a Home By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-05-23 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charitable-home References: [tinyhouseblog](http://tinyhouseblog.com/tiny-house-for-sale/taskrabbits-tiny-house/) & [atinytask](http://www.atinytask.com/) In a campaign where proceeds will go towards the non-profit organization [Community Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunger-relief-social-equity), [TaskRabbit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyricsinspired-ooh-campaign) started a charitable home project called 'Tiny House.' The goal of the campaign was to task a team of ten people to take three days to build a livable Tiny House. The end result has had two purposes -- the creation of an endearing home that someone can live in and that will help someone in need, and a marketing tool for TaskRabbit since the house was built in a public space. The charitable home will be auctioned off on [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-running-grants) and the proceeds of it will go towards Community Solutions -- an organization that fights homelessness. With an uplifting message, TaskRabbit says that the house "is a symbol of our shared vision and a reminder that, given the right tools and opportunities, no task is ever too big or small." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Charitable Micro-homes:** The trend of creating small, affordable homes for charitable purposes presents an opportunity for innovative partnerships between organizations and businesses. - **Limited-time Construction:** The trend of setting time limits on the construction of homes creates a sense of urgency and efficiency, leading to potential innovations in construction methods and techniques. - **Publicly-built Marketing Tools:** The trend of building homes in public spaces as a marketing tool presents opportunities for businesses to showcase their social responsibility while promoting their brand. ### Who This Affects Most - **Non-profit Organizations:** The charitable micro-homes trend provides non-profit organizations with new opportunities to collaborate with businesses and raise funds for social causes. - **Construction Industry:** The limited-time construction trend calls for innovative approaches and technologies in the construction industry to meet tight deadlines while maintaining quality. - **Marketing and Branding:** The trend of using publicly-built homes as marketing tools offers opportunities for companies to communicate their brand values and engage with customers in a meaningful way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordable Tiny Home Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oshawa-micro-housing-pilot.md) - [Reinvented Compact Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype.md) - [Affordable Housing Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-1.md) - [Housing Crisis Presentation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-roomsets.md) - [Eco‑tiny Sanctuarys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tign-tiny-homes.md) - [Living Condition Awareness Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwelcome-home.md) - [Home-Building Tequila Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-brick-project.md) - [Domestic Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-not-a-home.md) - [Climate Relief Temporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/additive-manufacturing-homes-crisis.md)
