Home Sponsorship Programs

Build Location: Bridgewater (2009-2010)

Simply put, home construction costs money. Typical expenses include:

- Land acquisition ($70,000-125,000)
- Site cleanup & infrastructure ($25,000-50,000)
- Construction 2009 estimate ($100,000)

All of these funds must be raised locally, and business sponsorship is welcome at any level.

Why should your organization sponsor a Habitat home?

  • Becoming a home sponsor gives your team a well-earned sense of pride and accomplishment as they see a home rise from the ground up

  • Working on-site promotes teamwork among diverse groups of employees

  • Sponsoring a home allows a large number of employees to get involved

  • Home sponsorship yields excellent publicity opportunities

All corporate sponsor levels will receive recognition in the RVHFH Annual Report, website and newsletter. Each corporate sponsor level offers varying opportunities for Corporate Team Build Workdays and exposure within the community.

Signature Sponsor - $100K

Fund and build ONE Habitat home
As the Signature Sponsor, your organization becomes the driving force behind the construction of a new home, providing both the funding and the “people power” to build the home from start to finish. A Signature Sponsor provides $100,000 in cash or in-kind donations to support construction expenses. Then, 15-20 employees per day join Habitat staff on site for dedicated workdays throughout the construction schedule. Volunteers work under the supervision of experienced Habitat construction personnel, performing tasks ranging from framing and roofing to painting and landscaping.

Acting as a Signature Sponsor may be the most rewarding way for your organization to support Habitat. Signature Sponsors receive:

  • Prominent on-site signage throughout construction

  • Press releases issued by RVHFH to coincide with site & home dedication festivities

  • Speaking opportunities at special events of Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity

  • 24 dedicated workdays (2 per month) on site for 15-20 employees per day throughout the construction schedule

  • Recognition items provided by RVHFH to thank Sponsor employee builders & project supporters

Perhaps most importantly, building a home from the ground up lets your team see the impact of their combined efforts as they work to make a real difference in their community.

Construction Materials/Services

Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity (RVHFH) accepts donations of any new materials required for construction, as well as any required service. All donations and discounts provided to RVHFH are tax deductible. And every donation reduces our construction expenses, allowing us to help more local families.

Examples of materials and services routinely needed include:

  • Excavation services
  • Electrical and plumbing services
  • Legal services
  • New building materials

All material and construction service donations need to be authorized by our construction coordinator. To discuss potential material or service donations, please contact us at (908) 704-0016, or rvhfh@rvhabitat.org.

Land

Without land, we have nowhere to build. Locating and acquiring land is both a major expense and a major time commitment for Habitat volunteers. Any assistance your company can provide in identifying and acquiring appropriate home sites is extremely valuable.

If you would like to discuss a potential land acquisition opportunity, please contact us at (908) 704-0016 or rvhfh@rvhabitat.org.
