MAKE A DONATION
Support can be in the way
of direct money contributions, in-kind building materials, or labor and technical assistance. Contributions of your own
time and effort continue to be our most valued asset. Government or public financing partnerships are encouraged, but only
for property purchase and development, never for house construction.
We create funding partnerships with:
- Individuals
- Businesses and Corporations
- Churches and Social Organizations
Businesses & Corporations
What can business do? There is something for every business:
- Make an annual contribution
- Provide a work crew
- Post information about home owning opportunities
- Fund a specific piece of the construction process or the sponsorship of a house
A business in the construction industry may be able to offer plumbing,
heating, electrical or building materials, supplies or services.
A builder may give the gift of time by volunteering one day or many as a crew leader. One of
the greatest needs on the construction site is persons of skill who are willing to teach and lead 4-6 unskilled volunteers
in a specific task.
A business not in the construction industry may be able to assist
Habitat with more than funds by stocking some office supplies, preparing and serving meals for construction volunteers, including
Habitat info in customer mailings, and providing volunteers for special events.

Individuals
Individual contributions are a major source of support. Many find contributions to Habitat an appropriate way to remember loved ones. Memorials are
always acknowledged in our quarterly newsletters. Contributions of household effects when moving or closing a home also are
appreciated, and we are pleased to provide volunteers to assist in this regard.

Churches and Social Organizations
Many of our local churches support Habitat by contributing towards the building cost of a house, by special donations on Habitat Sunday, by donating property,
or providing work crews.
Local organizations offer unique services:
Here are a few examples: A crew of volunteer masons has laid concrete blocks
for most of the Habitat houses in Oconee County; U.S. Engine Valve employees helped construct a Habitat house in Westminister, and Duke
Energy employees, the Lake and Hills Garden Club of Keowee Key, the
Walhalla Lions Club and Master Gardeners have landscaped many Habitat for Humanity houses.
