Team Building Sponsorships

The Team Building Program is an opportunity for your company to take a day out of the office to work together as a team. Your group will benefit from an informal team building experience working exclusively together, doing something they probably have never done before - build a home!

Availability

• Team Building opportunities take place Wednesday through Saturday, 8:30am-4:00pm throughout the year, and are scheduled on a first-come basis.
• Scheduling can be done from two weeks to four months in advance, subject to date availability
• Companies may recruit up to 25 volunteers to build, but are not obligated to do so - families, clients, and customers are invited as well them.

The Benefits

• Improve communication, cooperation, and camaraderie
• Interact with coworkers from all levels of the corporate hierarchy
• Strengthen team spirit and morale
• Forge bonds with clients while working toward a common goal

Giving Back to the Community

The Team Building program gives Habitat and your company an opportunity to partner in a truly significant and meaningful way. To schedule a Team Building day, companies provide a minimum tax-deductible financial donation of $2,500 and send a team of up to 25 volunteers to our construction site to swing hammers. (Companies may recruit additional volunteers for an additional donation of $100 per volunteer.) By contributing this tax-deductible donation, your company helps share with us the cost of building materials, enabling us to continue to build and serve families. Companies are encouraged to give more if they are able, and we thank you for keeping Habitat in mind while pursuing your charitable giving goals.
