Corporate Giving
"All my life I wanted to have my own house - my own picket fence, my own walls. I wanted a home in which my children could grow. Habitat for Humanity builds houses, and it also builds lives, families, communities and self-esteem. Home is the real thing, and Habitat helped us get one."

"Adopt-a-House" Sponsorship Options
Full House -- A full house sponsor is a critical Habitat partner, making a significant commitment to affordable housing in the East Bay, and demonstrating true civic leadership in the community. A House Sponsor donates $100,000 to Habitat for Humanity East Bay to help cover the cost of construction of a single Habitat home (actual home construction costs vary due to location, land and infrastructure costs, and the design of the home). This significant donation entitles the donor to an exclusive sponsorship of a Habitat home. Sponsorship benefits include:
- Kick-off event at the construction site at the start of the partnership
- Participation in the home dedication with the family when the house is complete
- Press releases distributed to all major media outlets in the Bay Area
- High visibility signage located at the site indicating Company sponsorship for the duration of the build (typically 6-12 months)

"We have had a few good years. We wanted to share the spoils of our success and felt Habitat was a good way to do that. One of the challenges of keeping the economy strong is affordable housing. I'm hoping that people who have reaped the benefits of the booming economy will open their minds and hearts."
