The average cost of a three bedroom Habitat for Humanity home in Topeka is now about $75,000. Monetary donations are our lifeblood. Part of each dollar given gets used over and over again as we build each new home. Stocks and other securities, or a long term pledge are another way to keep the partnership going. All such donations offer you tax savings.
If you want to give toward a specific purchase, you can tell us what you want your donation to purchase. For example:
