Project Funding

The construction of a Habitat for Humanity home is funded by private and/or public sources and by fundraising events and mailings. The costs are kept down substantially by the use of volunteer labor and the in-kind contributions of services and materials by area businesses. On completion, the partner family purchases the home at cost from Habitat with a zero interest mortgage.
The Acton Habitat for Humanity project has been supported by the generous contributions of two major donors:
  • Steinberg-Lalli Foundation - provided $30,000 to match funds raised from private sources. Click here to learn more about the foundation.
  • Acton Community Preservation Committee - contributed $35,000 toward the project and its goal of providing affordable housing.

We are also grateful for the support of AMD of Boxboro who contributed $7,500 and sent a work party to help with the build.
