Your contribution helps Habitat cover the costs incurred by your team of volunteers and pushes our affordable housing projects closer to completion.
Why do we ask your team to donate? On average, each Habitat house costs $200,000 to build, and each Home Repair project costs an average of $17,500. Individual and group contributions are our most important source of funding, and your donation helps us supply materials, training and supervision. Funds can be raised by individuals, companies, or through matching funds and other grants. We are happy to provide fundraising ideas.
