Workplace Giving

Many Bay Area companies allow their employees to give through the workplace. Workplace giving is an easy way to make a profound difference with regular contributions through payroll deductions and employee giving campaigns. These contributions add up to real change for local families. Your company may even match your donations and volunteer hours. Contact your employer to find out if they have an existing giving campaign and how you can direct your contribution to Habitat.

Stock Donations

By donating appreciated stocks directly to Habitat, you will avoid paying the capital gains tax, receive a full tax deduction for the fair market trade value of your gift, and leave a deepened impact in your local community. Donating stock is an easy way to make a lasting difference.

Donate a Car

Donating your vehicle is a great way to free up valuable space in your driveway while giving back to your community. Habitat’s Cars for Homes program makes donating your cars, trucks, RV’s, vans, SUV’s, boats, and motorcycles easy -- even if they don’t run!

Monthly Giving

By choosing to give on a monthly basis, you become a part of our Carpenter’s Club -- a special group of committed donors who give on a recurring basis. Monthly giving makes the greatest impact with your donation dollars by allowing us to better plan where your gift will do the most good. Carpenter’s Club members also receive a variety of different benefits throughout the year in appreciation for your commitment to affordable housing.
