Corporate giving
The mission of Habitat for Humanity is to build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. Together, with the support of our corporate partners, we can achieve that goal.
A corporate partnership with Habitat for Humanity can give your organization a way to enunciate your social responsibility strategy clearly and concisely – helping build a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Create a meaningful relationship with the impact, history and brand value of Habitat for Humanity and make yourself stand out with your consumers, vendors, employees, peers or business partners.
Corporate partnership can be achieved two ways:
Local partnership
If you are interested in working with Habitat in a single market and/or a small donated product offering such as less than one truckload, please connect with your local Habitat office to discuss partnership details.
Global, national or multi-market partnership
Habitat provides an excellent way to promote your corporate social responsibility goals on a global platform while making a lasting impact.
Create a unique partnership across your footprint through opportunities such as:
- Engaging employees through national or international team builds for offices around the globe.
- Reach your target audience through national programs such as Women Build, Veterans Build, Neighborhood Revitalization or Aging in Place, or global programs like the Terwilliger Center for Innovation and Shelter.
- Large-scale donated product offerings of two or more truckloads.
- National cause marketing campaigns.
