Contributions are needed to complete our mission. We do not borrow money to build houses. The majority of our funding comes right from our local community. It takes an average of $90,000 to build a house in Marion County. Current Habitat homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments also go into our “Fund for Humanity” which goes toward building more houses here in Marion County, Iowa. Keep in mind that donations may be tax deductible. Speak to your tax advisor for details. 

- Donate land or sell at a reduced price!
