Sustained Giving

Monthly donations, of any amount, ensure Habitat receives consistent, long-term support. Consider setting up recurring donations when making your online payment.

Gifts of Stock

Gifts of appreciated stock help build more homes for hardworking local families in your community. The IRS allows a charitable tax deduction for the full market value of the appreciated security.

The benefits of gifting appreciated stock:

  • The satisfaction of knowing your money is invested in a cause important to you.
  • Capital gains taxes on the stock are avoided.
  • You will be eligible to receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair-market-value of the stock at the time of the gift.

Please provide the following stock gift instructions to your broker or financial advisor.

Planned Giving

Help shape our future. When you make a planned gift to Habitat of the Greater La Crosse Region in your estate or long-term financial plans, you help ensure that we'll be here—committed to safe and affordable homeownership—for many years to come.

You can include us in your estate planning with a cash bequest of a specified amount, as a recipient of all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after the payment of any cash bequests and all estate-related expenses, or as a beneficiary of the remainder of your IRA, Keogh, tax-sheltered annuity, qualified pension, or profit-sharing plan.

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. Your planned gift to Habitat will create a lasting impact through the safety and stability of affordable homeownership.

Once you have made your legacy gift, please let us know. We would like the opportunity to thank you personally.

Vehicle Donation

You can donate an old vehicle, boat, RV, or motorcycle—running or not—to Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region to help support local families. The donation process is quick and easy, and it's just one more way you can support our work. Plus, your donation may be tax deductible. When you donate a car, truck, boat or RV through Habitat’s Cars for Homes™ program, Habitat of the Greater La Crosse Region receives 100% of the net proceeds of your vehicle donation to help families build and renovate decent, affordable homes right here in our local community.

The process is quick and easy through Habitat for Humanity's official vehicle donation program.  You can accomplish it online at Cars for Homes or with a toll-free phone call to 1-877-277-4344. If you donate an automobile or other vehicle, you may be eligible for a tax deduction.

Workplace Giving

One of the easiest ways to support Habitat is through workplace giving. Some companies will even match your donation to increase the impact of your generosity.

Payroll Deductions

Many private employers, and federal, state, and local governments offer payroll deductions to employees. Payroll deduction is an employer-sponsored program that lets you support Habitat’s mission with a tax-deductible donation given directly from your paycheck. Payroll deduction is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to give, but there may be other options available.

Matching Gifts

Does your employer match charitable contributions made by employees? Many do! With a matching gift, your donation to Habitat might be doubled or even tripled in value. Gifts of stock are also eligible– just like any cash or credit card donation. This kind of employer match maximizes the impact you can have, making your donation go even further.

Ask your human resources department today about what opportunities you have for workplace giving.
