Sponsoring a GWHH Project
Some groups or organizations wish more extensive involvement with a Habitat
project. In that instance they agree to be responsible for many levels of
activity including fund-raising, land acquisition, construction, and so
forth. If your group would like to sponsor all or part of a GWHH project,
please contact us for more information.
Partnership Programs
Church Building Partners (CBP)
This program is designed to develop long-term, dependable partnerships between
area churches and GWHH. The purpose of the CBP is to increase the "helping
capacity" of both groups which share the outreach mission of Helping Others:
Church members have a "hands on" experience, which reinforces the outreach
message of the church. Habitat gathers support from a larger volunteer pool
to assist with house building, newsletter development and fund raising.
Business Building Partners
This program is currently being developed to establish long-term, dependable
partnerships between area business or other local organizations and GWHH.
Business Building partners participate on a variety of financial levels. Some
companies take a lead role in a construction project; others get involved by
hosting an event. Most sponsors choose to provide the majority of the volunteers
who will work on the house in coordination with Habitat staff. Partnering with
GWHH and the Habitat homeowner can be an exciting and rewarding experience
for everyone involved, and has been used by corporations and organizations
to promote teamwork and communication among its employees.

Most sponsors choose to supply the level of volunteers that meets their needs.
The level of participation is driven by the sponsor and feels appropriate.
Occasionally a sponsor provides all the labor.
