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.
