The Benefits of Giving Monthly

  • Budgeting

    By giving in smaller, regular increments, it easier to budget for charitable giving. That means donating critical, impactful funds to Habitat without stretching your finances around a larger one-time gift. And with an average monthly gift size of $55, lots of donors love supporting affordable housing for less than their morning coffee budget.

  • Impact

    No matter the size, a monthly gift to Habitat accumulates to major impact on the affordable housing crisis. With a sustained gift, Habitat can plan for the future with certainty and be resilient when faced with unexpected challenges. With this kind of efficiency, more of our resources can be focused on building affordability and equity through housing.

  • Convenient

    Monthly giving is the most convenient way to support Habitat. In just a couple of minutes, you can set up your monthly gift at whatever level you’d like, and let Habitat take care of the rest. We can even help you set up a monthly gift through your employer or Donor Advised Fund. Want to make a change to your monthly giving at any time? Habitat staff is ready to help!

The impact of Giving Monthly

  • Resilience

    Your monthly donation gives Habitat a steady stream of support that helps us be more responsive and resilient to the Bay Area's ever-changing housing crisis. When opportunities arise, we can build on them. When faced with challenges, we can respond and keep serving.

  • Forward-Thinking

    With a foundation of monthly gifts we can count on, Habitat can plan forward. The predictability and stability of donations means we can plan our housing pipeline, repair program, and educational services with confidence. When we plan with certainty, we can partner with more Bay Area families.

  • Lower Costs

    It takes a lot more administrative maintenance and resources to process one-time gifts and build new donor support than it does to steward monthly donors. That means more of our resources are focused squarely on building affordability and equity through housing.

BENEFITS AND IMPACT

Your support of our shared community will be visible in the homes we build and repair and moving stories of transformation and appreciation from the families you’re investing in. 

As a monthly donor, you will receive exclusive invitations to special events, updates about Habitat’s work, and connect with other members. 

When Habitat can count on gifts like yours on a regular basis, we are able to better plan and more efficiently take action combatting the affordable housing crisis in the Bay Area.
