Ways to Give

One Time and Monthly Donations

Your donations will help families in need of a decent place to build long-term financial security. With an affordable, stable home, families have more to spend on food, medicine, child care, education, and other essentials. Your support can help us do more in all the many ways that Habitat builds. By giving monthly, our work continues, and more families can attain a safe, affordable place to call home. To make a monetary gift simply click on the donate button at the top of this page. 

Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) Gifts 

Are you 70 1/2 or older or are you required to make a minimum distribution from your IRA? You can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton. Your gift of up to $108,000 ($216,000 for couples) will not count as income because it is paid directly from your IRA to Dayton Habitat, so you will not have to pay taxes on it.

Real Estate Donations

In order to keep development costs low, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton accepts donations of property or houses in Clark, Greene, and Montgomery Counties. Each site must be reviewed to comply with Habitat standards and guidelines as well as local building and zoning code requirements before a final decision is reached. The committee is typically able to give an answer within 30 days. Click here to email us for more information or to begin your real estate donation today.
