How Can I Get My Company Involved?

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Orlando Area provides team and community building opportunities for our corporate partners. The Habitat experience helps to make a difference in Central Florida communities by:

• Building affordable homes
• Helping fund our ability to eliminate poverty housing in our community
• Transforming the lives of our homeowner partner families
• Revitalization of our neighborhoods and communities
• Fostering leadership and collaboration among volunteer team members

Habitat Greater Orlando provides different ways for your company to get involved:

House Sponsorship

Corporations can deepen their relationship with Habitat Greater Orlando by sponsoring a home and giving a family a fresh start on life. A House Sponsor is a critical Habitat partner, making a significant commitment to affordable housing in the Orlando area, and demonstrating true civic leadership in the community. A House Sponsor’s financial donation covers the cost of construction of a single Habitat home. This significant donation entitles the donor to an exclusive sponsorship of a Habitat home. Habitat Home Sponsors receive a series of benefits in recognition of their partnership and have the opportunity to send teams of volunteers to help build their home. For more information on home sponsorship, please contact Lynn at 407-648-4567 ext 204.

In-Kind Donations

Workplace Giving Programs

Many companies offer their employees to make charitable contributions in a number of different ways.  Habitat would be honored to work with your organization to develop one of the following programs:

Payroll Deductions

Many Central Florida employers offer some form of a payroll deduction program that can help you donate to organizations like Habitat for Humanity.  This is a great way to keep the spirit of giving back to the community alive all year long.

Dollar for Dollar Matching Funds

Companies also have the opportunity to leverage the generosity of their employees' and retirees' contributions by matching some or all of their contributions.  Whether employees give once or all year long, every dollar is stretched even farther when your company matches it.

Volunteer Hours Matched with Dollars

For those employees that would like to give their time rather than money to Habitat Greater Orlando, employers again have the opportunity to leverage this generosity by matching these volunteer hours with corporate donations.  Programs such as this not only inspire employees to help transform their community, but also have an increased sense of pride in working for a company that recognizes their hard work and dedication.

For more information on how to get involved, please contact Lynn at 407-648-4567 ext 204.

Third Party Events

Several organizations have held events to benefit Habitat Greater Orlando. Southern Company holds an annual golf tournament that raises money to build Habitat homes, local restaurants have percentage days/months were a percentage of their proceeds benefit Habitat Greater Orlando. The opportunities are endless if your organization is willing to partner in a creative way.
