Donor

Did you know that your gift does much more than help families escape from unsafe, unhealthy living conditions?

You’re helping families to break the cycle of poverty and build long-term financial security. Richmond Habitat’s affordable, no-profit house payments free up money for food, child care, medicine and other necessities. And research has shown that decent housing improves health, increases children’s educational achievement and strengthens community ties.

Thanks to your support, Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity is transforming the lives of more than 835,000 people in the City of Richmond and the counties of Amelia, Henrico, Chesterfield, New Kent, and Charles City! A portion of your donation also goes to transforming the lives of millions of people around the world through Habitat for Humanity International.

 

Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit interfaith housing ministry founded on Christian principles that seeks to eliminate poverty housing from our community, and to make decent, safe shelter a matter of conscience and action. We invite people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with workforce families looking to provide a better life and a stronger future.

We join forces with Richmond area families, local government, businesses, faith groups, schools, associations and individual volunteers and donors to build decent, modest homes that families can afford to buy through 0% interest mortgages we provide.

 

Become a Home Sponsor

Richmond Habitat’s Adopt-A-House sponsorship is an exciting program by which corporations, civic organizations, businesses, foundation or congregations raise the funds and provide the volunteers to build a home. The 2008 sponsorship fee is $65,000 (or $71,500 if the entity chooses to contribute a 10% tithe to support international building). Sponsors may also contribute at the one–half and one–third levels.

Congregations may join our Faith Partners or Apostles’ Build programs, in which many faith partners join together to build a home. For more information on becoming a Home Sponsor, please e-mail John Syndor: john@richmondhabitat.org or call (804) 232-7001.
