Donate Money

We always need money to achieve our mission. Most of the money is used to pay for the expenses of building materials and of services to complete the homes and for the expenses of selecting and supporting families. Click here to view some of the typical costs involved in building a house.

We are recognized by the IRS as a 501[c]3 organization, so your donations are tax deductible. Also, many companies match the charitable donations of their employees. If you work for one of these companies, please submit the appropriate forms for us to receive the matching gift.

If you wish to use your credit card to make a donation to us, please click here to go to the Habitat for Humanity International website to make an online donation. Be sure to indicate that you want your donation to go to the Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity affiliate.

Some companies allow their employees to donate to charities through an annual campaign. If your company has such a campaign, please inquire about making a donation to us.

Some people like to make a pledge to donate on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. If you wish to do this, please send us a note to set up a program that works for you.

Donate Building Materials

When building a new Habitat home, we take pride in constructing a quality house. Therefore, we accept only quality new materials that are consistent with the current project. We do not have storage facilities to store materials for long periods of time for future projects. We rarely accept paint since we need quantities adequate to complete entire areas, and we want to give the families some choice in the colors in their house. We prefer to be given an account at a local building supply outlet from which we can purchase the materials we need. Nonetheless, if you have materials that you think we may use, please send us a note describing what you wish to donate, and we shall assess if we can use the item(s).

Donate Household Items & Appliances

Like building materials, we only accept new items and appliances to be used in a Habitat house. Most appliances are donated by national companies that support Habitat for Humanity. If you have items you think we may be able to use, please send us a note describing what you wish to donate, and we shall assess if we can use the item(s).

Wills & Estates

Often, people can make a significant impact on the future by specifying in their will that some portion of their estate go to a charity they support. If you decide to include us in your will, please send us a note so that we can thank you and make arrangements to fulfill on you wishes. If you can leave us land, this would be a godsend.

Memorial Funds

These days, it is common to ask that donations be made to charities in lieu of flowers when a loved one passes away. If you wish to have donations go to Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity for a loved one, please send us a note so that we can handle them appropriately. Each donation will be acknowledged by us, and we shall send the family a list of donors and their addresses so that a personal “thank you” can be sent. If you wish, we can list the memorial fund on this website. Please discuss with us any particular arrangements you want to make. If you wish a memorial fund for yourself, please make your wishes known to your family.
