Why Donate?

Thank you for your interest in supporting Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod. We take our responsibility to supporters and those counting on our help seriously. Please know that each gift helps a family that needs decent shelter.

Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod is responsible for raising all of the money necessary to construct affordable homes and maintain its operations. By partnering with volunteers and homeowners, we keep our construction costs down, but in today’s building climate, it still costs over $300,000 to build one of our homes. We work very hard to keep our administrative overhead costs down; over 85 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to construction and family services expenses. Building decent, affordable homes depends significantly on generous contributions and building support from individuals, corporations, local businesses, faith-based organizations, and youth groups.

There are many ways to donate to Habitat Cape Cod – and they are all easier than you may think!

Habitat Cape Cod is a tax-exempt 501(c) organization; all contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

We are committed to our donors’ privacy. We will neither sell nor share any of our donor lists.

Ways to Donate to Habitat Cape Cod

A donation of $50,000 is considered a sponsorship of a Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod affordable home. Signage on the site during the construction of the home names you, your business, faith community, foundation or family as the sponsor of the home. Homes are sponsored to honor the memory of a loved one, to celebrate a wedding or anniversary, to show that your business supports the community or simply to show you care. You will be invited to help build the home (if that is something you would enjoy doing), meet the family and attend the wall raising and home dedication events. Publicity can be as much or as little as desired.

For example, you can:

  • Make a gift today that costs you nothing during your lifetime
  • Receive guaranteed payments for life in return for your gift
  • Donate life insurance you no longer need
  • Give appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds
  • Preserve your estate for your heirs and support a cause you care about
  • Use a gift to reduce your estate tax exposure and eliminate capital gains
  • Donate your house or vacation property, take a tax deduction and continue to use the property for as long as you’d like

Best of all, you can leave a lasting statement about who you are and what you care about.

Did you know that you can set up your gift to Habitat Cape Cod by giving monthly? This is a great and easy way to give critical funds to ensure our home building stays on target every month. As an example, sometimes it is much easier to give $25 a month instead of a lump sum of $300. We will charge the card of your choosing each month until you want to stop, get a new card, or need to change the amount at any time.

“There are a couple of reasons for monthly amounts. First, it is easier than writing one large check at the end of the year when we get requests from many charities. Second, it makes it automatic so we don’t forget. Third, it provides Habitat Cape Cod with reliable steady income throughout the year. Habitat Cape Cod is very important to life on Cape Cod and we can no longer do the construction work but we can support it financially.”
– Jake Ketchum, Monthly Donor

Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod gladly accepts in-kind donations and deeply discounted construction materials and services from industry professionals. These donations assist us in reaching our home building goals each year. Donations of materials and services are very advantageous to us as they greatly reduce our construction costs.

Building materials that cannot be used on our homes will be sold at our Habitat ReStore where proceeds directly benefit HHCC’s home building program.

Habitat Solar Homes

Did you know you can donate your excess solar net metering electric credits to Habitat Cape Cod? Well you can!

Net Metering Gift Guidelines

We have recently received several donations of credits which are helping to offset our office and ReStore electric expenses.  We are very grateful for these donations! 

Twice a year, Eversource allows homeowners to update their Schedule Z form by which you may allocate credits to any public, private or nonprofit entity. The credits may be apportioned at 100% or less. As these credits never expire and roll over month to month, some individuals, particularly “snow birds” who leave the Cape in winter, are finding they are accumulating credits they never use. Such credits can be put to good use here at Habitat!

If you are interested in donating your net metering credits
