Your gift of money or materials goes a long way toward keeping Habitat homes affordable and getting them built faster. Churches, businesses and civic organizations can sponsor houses by providing half of the money and at least half of the volunteers. If an organization does not have enough volunteers for this commitment, we have other groups who want an opportunity to work and would be happy to work with the sponsors on the house.
Most organizations find that the challenge of building a house brings the group closer together.
Individuals also can sponsor houses and Habitat will find the volunteers to build them. You can double the impact of your contribution to Habitat if your company offers a matching gift program. Habitat supporters should check their employer's matching gift policy before they contribute, and be sure to notify their company, so that Habitat receives the full benefit of your commitment. A few employers do not match gifts to local Habitat chapters, but will match gifts to Habitat for Humanity International. Please let us know when you have made such a contribution to Habitat International so we can follow up to assure that your support is focused locally.
