Donations

All Habitat for Humanity of Central Iowa donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law and will be acknowledged with a letter you may use for those purposes. Gift announcement cards acknowledging honorariums and memorials are also available and gifts can be designated specifically toward Hamilton, Hardin, or Story counties.

Help Habitat partner families cross the threshold of opportunity by donating the $150 to cover the cost of a front door. $500 donations can put siding on a Habitat home, providing an effective means of protection from the elements. Help us put a roof over the heads of families in need by donating $2000 for shingles.
