Habitat for Humanity receives contributions from
generous partners throughout the year. Donations usually take the form of
monetary contributions. Often however, donors want to do more, but lack
awareness of the many ways in which they can help. For details on contributions,
call our office or look below to see some of the ways to donate:

Matching Gifts
Ever wish you could multiply your gift to Habitat for Humanity? Here is
a way-employer matching contributions. Thousands of companies have
Matching Gift programs which double, or even triple individual,
tax-deductible contributions made by their employees. Check with your
employer to determine if they offer a matching gifts program.
Donations of
Building Materials
We accept
donations from corporations and individuals of building materials that
we can use in our home construction or for resale at ReStore. For
information on how to donate new or lightly used build materials visit
our

Donate a car to
Cars for Homes tm and help build houses
Your
vehicle donation can help a family build a home, and the hope of a
better life! Car, truck, boat and RV donations help Habitat for
Humanity build houses in partnership with families in need of
decent, affordable shelter. Donate a car, truck, boat, RV or other
vehicle to Cars for Homes™, Habitat for Humanity’s car donation
program, by calling 1-877-277-4344 toll free or online at

Planned Giving
Planned gifts may qualify for significant tax deductions. Giving options
include bequests, charitable gift annuities, and charitable remainder
trusts. To find out how you can financially benefit Habitat for Humanity
and provide a lasting legacy, call 1-800-643-7845 ext. 16.
Gift of Stocks or
Bonds
A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax
savings while generously sharing with others. A gift of stock owned for
more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full
market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated,
you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation. In addition to
helping Habitat, you may diversify away from low-basis, long-term
holdings into other assets that will better suit your current needs. If
you would like to discuss a gift of stocks or bonds, please call
1-800-643-7845 ext. 16.
