Electronic Fund Transfers
Electronic
Fund Transfers (EFTs) are an excellent way to support Habitat
for Humanity of Kitsap County. EFTs are convenient
for the donor, with a withdrawal made from the designated account
on the 25th of each month. They provide a steady stream
of income that we can rely on each month to support our goal
of ending poverty housing throughout all of Kitsap County. Either
call the Development Office at (360) 479-3853 for more information
or click here to set up an EFT online.
Matching Gift Programs
A matching
gift from your employer could effectively double or even triple
your gift. Many corporations have matching
gift programs for their current or retired employees. To
give a matching gift, contact your company’s human resources
department to obtain the correct form, fill out the donor section,
and include it with your gift.
Home Sponsorship
Home Sponsorship
provides a unique opportunity for the donor literally to change
the reality of a family. A home sponsor
commits to provide the funds for an entire home, currently $60,000. Home
sponsors will be provided with special opportunities to interact
with and get to know the family that will be partnering with
Habitat to buy the home. To learn more about sponsoring
a home please call Josh Dougherty, Development Manager at 360.479.3853.
Planned Giving
Charitable Bequests
A charitable bequest to Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County
is a great way to make a gift toward the mission of ending
substandard housing beyond your lifetime. A bequest is
a provision in one’s last will and testament where an asset
or percentage of the remainder of the donor’s estate is transferred
to Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County. A bequest can
also be made by adding a codicil to your existing will. Please
contact Josh Dougherty, Development Manager, at 360.479.3853
if you are interested in receiving more information.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) through Habitat for Humanity
of Kitsap County is a good partnership option for retired donors
on a fixed income. When an individual signs up for a
CGA they will transfer an asset to Habitat. Habitat signs
a contract to pay annual income to the donor for their lifetime.
After the donor’s lifetime the remainder of the asset will
be transferred to Habitat to build more homes.
Habitat for Humanity of Kitsap County
administers charitable gift annuities through Habitat for Humanity
International. The
minimum gift amount for a CGA is $5,000. For more information
call Josh Dougherty at 360.479.3853
