How Your Donation Helps:

Annual Budget pie graph
Midland County Habitat for Humanity depends entirely on donations to fund construction projects. MCHFH does administer mortgages for partner families who have received homes. However, the revenue generated from this program only covers our administrative costs.

Below is an illustration of our annual budget:
  • 19% Administrative - includes rent, insurance and administrative payroll.
  • 13% Program - includes construction coordinator salary, tools, fundraising, productivity enhancements and safety.
  • 63% Construction - includes materials and professional services included in the house cost.
  • 5% Land - includes land purchase, well drilling and septic field placement.
With almost 70% of funds going directly into purchasing land or construction materials, a donation to MCHFH is a good investment.

Essentially, sponsoring a home means providing everything needed to build a house – money, labor and prayers. Two or more churches or organizations may combine their resources to co-sponsor a home.
The sponsoring organization(s) provides:
  • Funding
  • As much of the total cost as possible
  • Donated professional labor
  • Donated land
  • Workers – as many as possible/needed
  • Prayers for our mutual success
Midland County Habitat for Humanity provides:
  • Qualified family – family members will work alongside church volunteers to build sweat equity
  • Building site, unless sponsoring organization donates land
  • Construction oversight
All MCHFH home construction will be overseen by a construction coordinator, who will obtain needed permits, purchase building materials and coordinate inspections. All workers will follow established construction principles and safety requirements.
