Foundations are making a significant contribution to the campaign as well. Overall, our individual donations are on the rise, growing 30 percent in FY 1999-2000 compared with the previous year. We really look forward to nurturing and strengthening these relationships to help our affiliate continue to meet the needs of the 23 communities we serve. Help us reach out to your employer, your place of worship and your civic organizations. If you already contribute to our Habitat affiliate, consider giving more and ask if your employer offers matching gifts.
Habitat appreciates every donation no matter how large or small.
