When you make a donation to Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity, your gift makes a long-term impact. Each donation that builds a Habitat home multiplies as the homeowner mortgage payments get recycled to build more affordable houses. Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity has a proven track record of wise building investments, well-equipped families for homeownership, and strong financial viability.
Donor Programs
Restaurant Partners
Restaurant Partners. You don't have to swing a hammer to help Habitat. As a Habitat Restaurant Partner, you or your business will become a sustaining member of one of our programs while helping your restaurant gain local exposure. Volunteers allow Habitat homes to be affordable for their owners. Whether you donate meals once a year, once a season, or every month, you are building a better community for all. Your gift-in-kind donation is tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt for your business.
In-kind Giving 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.
You can help create affordable housing in our community by contacting us if you know of an available property or are interested in donating your land or home that could be rehabbed into a new Habitat home. Email [email protected] or call 413.442.3181 for more information.
Project Sponsorship
From project sponsorship to employee build days, your company can help build strength, stability and self-reliance with families building a strong future.
Project sponsorship is the perfect way for your company, school, foundation, faith group or club to support Habitat’s home building program. Your sponsorship will go directly toward our project construction costs, helping to build or rehabilitate affordable homes and strengthen neighborhoods in the Berkshires.
MATCH EMPLOYEE DONATIONS
Double or triple your gift! Many employers will match tax-deductible charitable contributions made by their employees, retirees and employees’ spouses, and some companies provide matching funds to support employee volunteer hours. By aligning your company with Habitat’s mission and vision, you demonstrate your company’s investment in the community.
