The best Habitat for Humanity fundraisers are mission-focused and emphasize community engagement and creativity. Popular fundraisers include build-a-thons, where volunteers tap into peer-to-peer fundraising and commit to building homes. Not only does this kind of campaign make a financial impact, but it gets more supporters involved and hands-on in the process, too.

To plan your Habitat for Humanity fundraising events, you’ll need to sort out a few logistics. Start by setting clear goals and objectives, and determine your target audience and budget. Consider venue selection, event timeline, and necessary permits or permissions. It’s helpful to use an event planning checklist to keep track of everything! 

Promote your event through various channels like social media, email newsletters, and local media outlets. When it’s all over, don’t forget to thank your community for all of their support.
