Individual Donations
At Habitat for Humanity Victoria, the majority of our funding depends on individuals from
all walks of life contributing to our work. From a few coins taped to a card sent during
the holidays to large gifts from corporate executives, each donation is needed to make
homeownership a reality for our partnering District families.
According to our latest audit, 85% of all funds raised go toward home construction, while
only 15% goes to our overhead. This is well above the industry average of 75%.
Hope Builders Society
Your gift makes a difference! A recurring gift is a wonderful way to make a long-term commitment to Habitat,
or to spread your giving out over time. A gift of only $15 a month buys 3 windows for a house!
Now HFHV can draft the money directly from your checking account, or charge a credit or debit card monthly,
to make giving even easier. Email Cynthia@victoriahabitat.org to set up a direct monthly gift.
Matching Gifts:
Did you know that a matching gift could double or triple your own donation? Many corporations will match
or exceed employee or retiree gifts. Talk with your Human Resources department to obtain a matching gift form
and include it with your donation. We'll take care of the rest! Some corporations even provide grants for your
contribution of time.
Celebration and Memorial Gifts:
As you plan special remembrances for family and friends this year, consider a gift that keeps on giving.
Upon receipt of your contribution, we will send an acknowledgement card indicating a gift to Victoria Habitat
has been made in your name or a loved one's name. For more information on celebration and memorial giving,
please contact Leslie Ruta at 361-573-2511 or leslie@victoriahabitat.org
Gifts of Securities:
Habitat for Humanity Victoria graciously accepts appreciated gifts of securities and cash. Please contact
