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.
