We have great corporation sponsors both locally and nationally.

Nationally, all new Habitat families receive a stove and a refrigerator from Whirlpool Corporation.

Locally, our good friends at Wells Fargo Bank, in cooperation with the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation, provide volunteer labor and a grant of up to $17,500 towards new construction.

Our special pricing program at Vinylite Windows, a local company, assures us the highest quality windows at the best prices in the state.

Ottertail Power Company and Great Plains Gas provide rebates and equipment donations for water and home heating. Larson Storm Doors provide free storm doors to all of our houses.

How your Donations are spent:


Every day seems to bring news of yet another scandal involving either government waste or non-profit fraud. How can you know what non-profit to donate money to?

According to an audit conducted by Miller, McDonald Erickson and Moller, Ltd. our affiliate had a budget of $441,856 for the year ending June 30, 2005. Of that amount only $31,502 was spent on Administration and General expenses. Only $26,851, or 6% was spent on all fund raising (including newsletter printing and mailing). The rest, $346,651 was spent building new homes for our families. We have no full-time staff, we do not even pay rent or utilities for office space. We sent over $5,000 to our sister affiliates in Uganda, and $4,000 towards victims of Hurricane Katrina.
