Real Estate

Gifts of real estate directly address our most significant and challenging need - land acquisition. Outright gifts of property, such as developed or undeveloped land, that is not mortgaged can provide a direct benefit by providing a location for a new home.

Retained gifts, such as a personal residence or farm, allows a donor to continue using the property for their lifetime while receiving a charitable deduction based on life expectancy and property value. Please speak to your accountant for personal and tax benefits.

Cars for Homes

Cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, RVs and other vehicles can be donated to Habitat to be sold and the funds raised help build simple, decent homes in partnership with local families. Regardless of the condition of the vehicle, your donation helps build homes in La Plata County.

Click here for additional information on Habitat International’s Cars For Homes program. This program collects the vehicle at no cost to you and sends the revenue generated to Habitat La Plata, which is then dedicated to building homes in La Plata County.

Legacy Gifts

Legacy gifts help further Habitat La Plata’s work through thoughtful planned giving. While a Legacy contribution may help build one home, its impact continues to grow over time. Habitat La Plata’s revolving Fund for Humanity uses proceeds from mortgage payments as capital to build future homes. Legacy contributions provide the initial funding to create sustainable, affordable homeownership for years to come.

Please speak to your accountant and estate planner before making any decisions.

In-Kind

In-kind donations of material and labor are always welcome. If you are a sub-contractor in the following areas and have the proper licensing we welcome your skills on the job site: electrical, plumbing, and HVAC (Energy Star Certified).

Event Sponsorships

Fundraisers and other community events are a crucial component for Habitat working towards achieving it’s mission. Community events are both an avenue for raising funds for construction as well as sharing our mission with the community - as more people know who we are and what we do, we can in turn help more people.

Event sponsors can donate in several ways:

  • Donation of items for silent auction events

  • Cash or in-kind donation to cover specific aspects of an event such as the venue space or catering

  • Volunteer to assist with set up, running, and clean up of events
