The More Than Houses Society is critical to our affiliate. The generous pledges from the More Than Houses Society help us cover costs associated with family services, volunteer support, land purchases, infrastructure development, and more. Individual and group members make a long-term commitment to give at least $1,000 per year for five years.

The  S.H.E. Society, was created to honor and challenge women+ builders who commit to raise at least $1,000 per year for 5 years. Members of S.H.E. Society will be recognized throughout the year for their efforts to support future Women+ Build house sponsorships and homeowners. All members also receive their own coveted pink hard hat and stickers to commemorate their years of membership.

A charitable gift of stock or bonds can help make the dream of homeownership a reality for deserving family while also providing tax savings for you.

A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation.

House Sponsorship Program

Through our Home Sponsorship program, companies help Habitat meet our two greatest needs—the need for funding and the need for volunteers.

There are a variety of different engagement levels – from a Legacy Builder who sponsors the full cost of construction and land o $150,000, to an adopt-a-day for a small group at $1,500.

All sponsorships include benefits such as social media and online recognition, inclusion in a local Bloomington advertisement and/or press release, and recognition in Habitat’s annual report and More Than Houses event.

Sponsors are the key to Habitat’s success. 

House sponsorships are a great way to foster team-building among your corporation, faith community, student group, and community group. You’ll enjoy a fun-filled day working alongside future homeowners and other community volunteers – creating a sense of unity among friends and neighbors. Our team will work with you to schedule ideal volunteer days on the construction site and/or our ReStore.

Building a home is a big investment, and your support makes it possible for our future homeowners. Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible support from donors like you, Habitat homes are sold to future homeowners and financed with affordable loans. As homeowners pay back their mortgage, the funds are reinvested in our program in order to offer future families an opportunity for homeownership.

Gifts of Land

As the need for affordable housing continues to grow, securing land for homes for the families on our waiting list becomes more challenging. If you are aware of a parcel of land in the county that may be available, we’d like to talk to you.

When we’re able, we purchase land at fair appraisal value. You can help create affordable housing in our community by contacting us if you know of available property or are interested in donating or selling property.
