Sponsorships for a BAHFH may be in either a financial role or in a volunteer role. While financial contributions are necessary to build houses, donors may choose to participate in construction or provide cash or materials only. Your generosity creates an opportunity for others to volunteer.

All gifts of time and money are welcome at BAHFH For those interested in donating labor only, Habitat only asks that your organization provide donations, if possible, to help cover the costs of construction materials for days you will be at the site.

When your business or organization gets involved with Bend Area Habitat For Humanity all kinds of great relationships can evolve… including the following:

Community Building - Your company and employees give back to the community in a way that is positive, active and makes a difference! In a tangible, hands-on way, you’re making your community stronger.
