Sponsorship Opportunities

Your sponsorship supports your day of Habitat homebuilding:
• Hours to build a Habitat home = 1,350
• Cost for 1 day of home building = $2,450*
• Cost per hour of volunteer time = $78*
* Based on average Habitat home cost of $105,000

Beyond the group experience of a day on our jobsite, your sponsorship contribution makes a world of difference now by providing the necessary upfront funding to build a home, and in the future through mortgage payments recycled back into building more homes.  You are offering a hand up.

Partnership Levels:
Lead Builder $100,000+

Lead Builders receive a great deal of media attention, are recognized at Habitat for Humanity’s Builder’s Breakfast with an award, as well as at our Toast to Stewardship event, a private social for Habitat donors.  Recognition is given by Habitat for Humanity in all publications, special events on site garner media attention.

Why Partner with Habitat?

Our partners work hand-in-hand with us in Spokane County to provide decent, affordable shelter to families who need it. In return, we provide our partners with a wealth of benefits, including public relations, tax deductions and a positive effect on company morale.

Why Should My Company Partner?  
• Distinctive association with a leading non-profit organization with a brand value equal to Starbuck’s and FedEx (currently valued at $3.1 billion).                    

• Habitat for Humanity has served the Spokane community since 1987.

• Habitat-Spokane maintains a well-established rapport with local media, churches, civic groups, businesses and the general community.

• Opportunity to participate in something that will last for generations—an tangible investment for our community and families in need.

As shareholders, employees are also highly invested in their company’s support of critical issues. Employees want to get involved in their company’s cause-related efforts through:  matching grants, dollars for doers, paid time off to volunteer etc.      

Today’s socially conscious consumers and employees are truly “cause shareholders” because they have more than just a stake in a company’s responsibility efforts – they have a vested interest in the outcome. They invest in a company’s initiatives, either with their purchasing power or their livelihoods. Much like a traditional financial shareholder, they look to the company and its management to take both a short- and long-term view on how to achieve the greatest bang for their buck (in this case, social and environmental bang), but along the way, they still want to have a say. They hope to make a difference by lending their time, money and brainpower.         

Just like consumers, employees want to feel vested in their employers’ programs and are willing to roll up their sleeves to have an impact. For companies, the investment is well worth it. Employees who are very involved in their company’s cause program are 28 percent more likely to be proud of their company’s values and 36 percent more likely to feel a strong sense of loyalty than those who are not involved.
