Ways to give

In order for Habitat to be able to build homes, we rely on generous donations of both money and materials. Your congregation can help contribute to building a home by giving generously. Below are some ideas of how you can give.  

Church giving

  • Make a one-time or monthly financial donation as a congregation 

  • Help purchase building supplies for the home (e.g. framing lumber, shingles, siding, etc.) 

  • Give a “room” of a home:

    • Closet - $250 

    • Bedroom - $500 

    • Bathroom - $1000 

    • Kitchen - $3000 

Individual giving

  • Encourage individual church members to volunteer or donate.  

  • Give a section of square feet in a house. It costs $100 per square feet to build a Habitat home. 

sponsorships

  • Sponsor a Faith Build Day 

What better way to put your faith into action than by sponsoring a Faith Build day! Sponsoring a Faith Build Day includes: scheduling a date with our volunteer coordinator for a group from your faith community to volunteer, donating the cost of one square foot of the home per volunteer (one square foot costs us $100 to build) and, most importantly praying, over the home at the end of your volunteer day. We simply cannot build homes without volunteer groups and faith communities like yours.  

  • Become a Kingdom Planter 

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” (Matthew 13:31-32). Kingdom Planters sponsor the yard for a Habitat home. This means your church will plan, fundraise, and volunteer for the landscaping of a Habitat home. Yard sponsorships start at $1000. For more information about how your church can become a Kingdom Planter Church, contact engagement@habitatanderson.org.

Just as a mustard seed can start as something so small and grow into something beautiful and strong, a small act of faith in action can have great impact for years to come.

If you are interested in giving, contact engagement@habitatanderson.org. Have an idea but don’t see it here? You can share that, too. We’d love to hear from you!
