In addition, the following partnership options are available:
Partners for
Sustainability
Partners for Sustainability are donors who choose to
provide ongoing support for Houston County Habitat through
monthly Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from their checking or
savings account.
The Partners for Sustainability is guided by
three key values:
-
Stability - Partners for
Sustainability provide monthly funding that Houston County
Habitat can depend on. This stability makes it possible
for the construction team to accurately plan the homebuilding
process.
-
Continuity - Partners for
Sustainability develop a deep partnership with Houston County
Habitat, providing a continual stream of affordable houses to
families in need throughout Houston County.
-
Hope - Partners for Sustainability
breathe hope into the lives of our partner families. This
hope transforms them as they understand that they will no longer
be defined by the struggles of their past, but by the new
opportunities homeownership offers them.
To become a Partner for Sustainability, fill out
this form and return it along with a voided check to Houston
County Habitat for Humanity, P.O. Box 7506, Warner Robins, GA
31095. If you have any questions about this program, do not
hesitate to contact our Executive Director at 478.328.3388.
Matching Gift Programs
A matching
gift from your employer could effectively double or even triple
your gift. Many corporations have matching
gift programs for their current or retired employees. To
give a matching gift, contact your company’s human resources
department to obtain the correct form, fill out the donor section,
and include it with your gift.
Home Sponsorship
Home Sponsorship
provides a unique opportunity for the donor literally to change
the reality of a family. A home sponsor
commits to provide the funds for an entire home, currently $45,000.
Houston County Habitat will provide home
sponsors with special opportunities to interact
with and get to know the family that will be partnering with
Habitat to build and buy the home. To learn more about sponsoring
a home please call Tom Prior, Executive Director at
478.328.3388.
Planned Giving
Charitable Bequests
A charitable bequest to Houston County Habitat
is a great way to make a gift toward the mission of ending
substandard housing beyond your lifetime. A bequest is
a provision in one’s last will and testament where an asset
or percentage of the remainder of the donor’s estate is transferred
to Houston County Habitat for Humanity. A bequest can
also be made by adding a codicil to your existing will. Please
contact Tom Prior, Executive Director, at 478.328.3388
if you are interested in receiving more information.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) through Houston County Habitat for Humanity
is a good partnership option for retired donors
on a fixed income. When an individual signs up for a CGA they will transfer an asset to
Houston County Habitat. Houston County Habitat signs
a contract to pay annual income to the donor for their lifetime.
After the donor’s lifetime, the remainder of the asset will
be transferred to Habitat to build more homes.
Houston County Habitat for Humanity
administers charitable gift annuities through Habitat for Humanity
International. The
minimum gift amount for a CGA is $5,000. For more information
call Tom Prior at 478.328.3388.
