Ways to Give
Donate Bulk or New Materials
We accept new, at-scale donations of many types of building materials, supplies, and tools. Our greatest material needs are the following:
- Cement
- Drywall
- Fleet vehicles
- Lumber (unused bulk quantities)
- Property
- Rigid insulation board
- Flooring
- Windows
- Doors
- Trim
- Cabinets
- Appliances
Due to bulk purchasing agreements, ongoing in-kind donor relationships, and maintaining continuity and construction standards on all Habitat homes, we are often unable to utilize donated items in new home construction. Our Construction staff handle these types of donations and determine their suitability to be used on site. Items that cannot be used in new Habitat homes may be donated to the Habitat ReStore.
Donate Skilled Labor or Construction Services
Lake Agassiz Habitat utilizes volunteers for the construction work on the majority of our homes. However, there are some services that require a professional:
- Concrete
- Earthwork
- Tree removal
- Framing
- Siding
- Electrical work
- Engineering
- HVAC
- Plumbing
- Sewer and water installation
- Roofing
- Finishing Carpentry
- Landscaping
Any company or individual interested in partnering with Lake Agassiz Habitat must be licensed, insured, and committed to completing the entire project. We have larger new construction projects available seasonally. To inquire about donating your skilled labor, please fill out the form below.
Donate Materials to Habitat's ReStore Home Improvement Outlet
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a home improvement outlet in north Moorhead. The ReStore sells new and gently used building materials, keeping more than two million pounds of materials from landfills annually. All revenue from sales at the ReStore funds our mission and supports the construction of affordable homes in our community each year. The ReStore accepts donations of building materials from the public, businesses, and contractors. Learn more about what ReStore accepts and how to donate.
Donate Your Vehicle
If you have an older car, truck, van, trailer, RV, or boat taking up valuable space in your yard, garage, or driveway, consider donating it to support affordable housing in the Fargo-Moorhead area!
Donations made through Habitat for Humanity’s Cars For Homes™ program can save you the time and energy of finding a buyer. Plus, proceeds from the sale of your donated vehicle will help build Habitat for Humanity homes in your local community. Learn more about Cars for Homes.
Donate Real Estate
As the Fargo-Moorhead area continues to grow, securing affordable land for Habitat home projects becomes more challenging.
To learn more about sales or donations of land, please contact Pete Christopher at 218-512-0109 or pete@lakeagassizhabitat.org.
Donate a home or land parcel and help Habitat with the first step in the building process! By making a gift of real estate, the donation provides you with tax-benefits while making a personal impact for local families.
Gifts of real estate include undeveloped land, residential and commercial property. Habitat looks for land large enough to build at least a single-family home. A larger lot would possibly allow us to build multiple housing units, giving us the ability to help more than one family per build project.
While we can only build on land in Cass and Clay County, we may accept land elsewhere. If building on the land is not in the best interest of Lake Agassiz Habitat, our affiliate will sell it and direct the proceeds toward building homes elsewhere. Lake Agassiz Habitat assigns fair appraisal value to all land received or purchased.
Real Estate Gifts May Be Accepted in a Variety of Ways:
- Outright Gift: Donor transfers the property for retention and use by Lake Agassiz Habitat for Humanity or for immediate liquidation with proceeds directed according to donor intent.
- Retained Life Estate (RLE): Donor transfers ownership to Lake Agassiz Habitat, but retains the right to live in the property for a specified period of time or accepts a remainder interest in a personal residence, farm, or vacation property under a RLE agreement.
- Bargain Sale: Donor sells the property to Lake Agassiz Habitat for less than its appraised fair market value and receives a charitable deduction for the difference between the value of the property and the sale price.
- Life Income Gift: Donor transfers ownership of the property to fund a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity.
- Bequest: Donor bequeaths the property to Lake Agassiz Habitat in his or her will or revocable (living) trust. If a gift of real estate is encumbered by a mortgage or lien, Lake Agassiz Habitat will request the donor pay off the debt prior to making the donation.
Please consider this information as a starting point. With all charitable gifts, it is important to consult with your attorney or financial advisor to ensure that you comply with state laws, receive maximum tax benefits, and that your wishes are accurately reflected in necessary legal documents.
