Donating Opportunities
All donations to Habitat of Benton County, Inc. are tax-deductible and help us build affordable and energy efficient homes for hard-working, low-income families in Benton County. These families have gone through a review process and approved by our family selection committee and the board. They are willing to complete their sweat equity of 400 hours and work with volunteers to help build a decent affordable home not only for themselves, but also for other families selected by our affiliate. It is a team effort that builds not only homes, but also builds relationships.
Your support will help make their dream of owning a decent home a reality. Wall by wall, house by house we work to eliminate poverty housing and make home ownership a reality, not a dream.
Habitat is a hand up, not a hand out. Each homeowner pays a monthly interest free mortgage back to Habitat of Benton County and that helps to build another home. Currently we have enough homes that the yearly principle from all the mortgage payments combined, help to build one more Habitat home! At the end of 2006 we had completed a total of 46 homes in Benton County over the history of our affiliate. We expect in 2007 to celebrate the completion of our 50th home. Your tax-deductible donation will help provide a decent, affordable home to a low-income family living in Benton County.

is given. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a
capital gains tax on the appreciation. If you would like to
