Donation FAQs

Are donations made to Habitat for Humanity International passed on to local affiliates?

Yes, but only if a gift is designated to a specific local Habitat affiliate. When a donation is made through Habitat for Humanity International and designated to a local affiliate, Habitat International may assess an administrative fee before forwarding the remaining funds to that affiliate.

If you would like 100% of your donation to support your local Habitat affiliate, we encourage you to make your gift directly to the affiliate. Direct donations ensure that every dollar stays in the local community and supports local affordable homeownership programs.

Can I designate my contribution for a specific project or program?

Yes. Donors may choose to direct their gifts to a specific Habitat for Humanity program, project, or area of greatest need. Designated gifts allow you to support the aspect of our mission that matters most to you, whether that's affordable homeownership, home repairs, neighborhood revitalization, volunteer programs, or another initiative.

If you have a specific designation in mind, please contact us before making your gift to ensure we can honor your request and discuss current funding opportunities.
