WAYS TO DONATE
Please keep in mind that donations to Habitat for Humanity International DO NOT come to us unless you specifically request that. It helps to have funds sent directly to Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity (RCHFH), as we’re an affiliate for Rutherford County TN, and separate from all other affiliates.

Planned Giving allows donors to leave money or assets upon his or her death. It’s one of the easiest ways to support us and leave your legacy! This could be in the form of a will, a Living Trust, a Retirement Plan, an Insurance Plan, a POD (Payable on Death Designation), PIF (Pooled Income Funds), or any plan that your tax advisor suggests. Our accountant can also help you design your donation plan.

WORKPLACE GIVING
Give your employees a way to give back to the community where they live and work! We can help you set up a workplace giving program where employees can donate directly to a Habitat Build for your company. This could be a payroll deduction campaign, an event campaign or add RCHFH to the list of non-profits to choose from in an established program.
Ask your employees if they’d like to help support Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity and start a Workplace Giving campaign! We can come do a presentation for them!
When employees give through their place of employment, it builds morale and fosters team building.
According to the Cone Cause Evolution and Environmental Survey:
- 72 percent of Americans want their employers to do more for a cause or social issue.
- 93 percent of employees say it is important for their companies to provide them with opportunities to become involved in social issues.

Many companies also donate for volunteer hours. In fact, an average of 1 in 10 donors are part of matching gift programs. Your employer may be one of them! It’s easy as 1-2-3
1. Make your gift to Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity

GIFT OF STOCK AND APPRECIATED SECURITIES
Appreciated securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares are great ways to contribute to Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity that are beneficial to both parties involved. When you donate the appreciated assets such as stocks or bonds, instead of selling them and then donating the cash, you can potentially save on tax liabilities (consult your financial advisor). This can really help at the end of the year and could double your tax benefit! And our Financial Advisor may be able to help you!
