Did you know 10% of your unrestricted donation supports the work of Habitat for Humanity in other countries?
While Habitat for Humanity East Bay works hard to alleviate the affordable housing crisis here at home, we are acutely aware of a vast need for simple, decent housing all over the world. That’s why we are proud to be a part of Habitat for Humanity International’s Tithe Program, which calls on local affiliates to send 10% of all unrestricted funding to support the building of homes overseas. The funding that we send has a profound impact on families that – like our own partner families – simply need the opportunity to build a place to call their own and the brighter future that comes with it.
As we are gearing up to celebrate the completion of our 200th home here in the East Bay, we will also celebrate $1Million tithed, which represents 425 additional homes built worldwide! Only six other US Habitat affiliates have reached this prestigious milestone.
We currently tithe our unrestricted fundraising to Afghanistan, Tanzania and El Salvador. Click on the links to learn more about the Habitat affiliates in these countries.
Participation in the tithe program is not compulsory if you donate to Habitat East Bay. Using donations as donors intend is of utmost importance to us. For that reason, if you would like your entire gift to be used locally, simply let us know, or restrict your donation to a specific East Bay development (Oakland, Alameda, Bay Point, Richmond, Tri-Valley, Concord, etc.).
