support us

After nearly 20 years of working to build a community where everyone has a decent place to call home, we are genuinely touched by our supporters who believe deeply enough in our vision to give on a regular basis.

We have a special group of supporters who believe so deeply in our work that they have decided to become monthly donors, called Habitat for Humanity HopeBuilders. Their recurring contributions mean that our work continues, and more families can attain a safe, affordable place to call home.

One of the biggest things we depend on as a nonprofit is consistency so that we can continue to help families. By becoming a monthly donor you are helping us build strength and stability in partnership with families.

Families who partner with Habitat build their own homes alongside contractors and volunteers, pay an affordable mortgage and are extremely grateful for your help. A Habitat home provides the foundation people need to create a better life for themselves and their families.

Women Build is an annual fundraiser and work day for Habitat for Humanity of Tuolumne County. Women’s Build involves teams of women who raise funds to support Habitat’s mission of eliminating substandard housing and building strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter.
Our Women Build events provide the opportunity for women to take a proactive step in serving their communities.

No experience is necessary. Volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals, and alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners. Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, this is a rewarding experience for all involved, and improves the community that you share.

Women Build is also a terrific way to involve your friends and family of all ages in crucial work with a lasting impact. Women helping women sends a positive and powerful message. You can also come alone, and make new friends. The atmosphere is collaborative and friendly.

Teams get their own donation page online and on the day of the build, teams receive personalized Habitat t-shirts and enjoy a day of hard work and a catered lunch.

Every hand makes a difference.

We accept almost all vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, farm equipment, construction equipment and airplanes. If you want to donate your car or truck, please go to our donation wizard. If you want to donate any other type of vehicle, please call 1-877-277-4344.

To accommodate this request, Habitat partners with employers all over the U.S. to allow their employees the option of giving through the workplace.

Regular contributions from hardworking employees and their employers make a big impact over time by helping families build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

Many employers will match tax-deductible charitable contributions made by their employees, retirees and employees’ spouses.

Contact your employer today to see if it participates in our employee contribution program. For more information, call us at (209) 536-0970 or email inquiry@habitattuolumne.org.

Such a generous gift helps us continue our work for years to come. And a gift of real estate also helps you. When you give us appreciated property you have held longer than one year, you get a federal income tax charitable deduction. You avoid paying capital gains tax. And you no longer have to deal with that property’s maintenance costs, property taxes or insurance.

Another benefit: You don’t have to hassle with selling the real estate. You can deed the property directly to Habitat for Humanity of Tuolumne County or ask your attorney to add a few sentences in your will or trust agreement.
