Fiscal responsibility is about staying focused on our mission.
It takes a lot of people, money, and prayer to build a decent, affordable home, and we could not do the work we do without the financial support of businesses, organizations, churches, and people just like you. At Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio, we know that fiscal responsibility is a matter of integrity, and we take that responsibility very seriously. When the mission of building affordable housing is of critical importance, we commit every possible resource to building and renovating homes while strengthening the foundation of families and communities across East Central Ohio.
Our Sources of Funding
Our work is made possible through diverse streams of support: businesses, organizations, churches, individuals, and Habitat families whose 0% interest mortgage payments recycle back into building and preserving more homes. These combined resources ensure a steady foundation for creating decent, affordable housing across East Central Ohio.
- 0% Mortgage Activity 41%
- Foundations and Grants 32%
- Direct Contributions 19%
- Misc. Income (Special Events, In-Kind Donations, etc.) 6%
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore Proceeds 2%
Note: These percentages are based on recent audited financials and will naturally vary over time as donations, grants, in-kind gifts, homeowner mortgage payments, and construction costs fluctuate.
How We Utilize Funding
Our funding is carefully directed to keep families at the center of our mission. The vast majority of donor support is invested in home construction and renovation, while a small portion is used for administration and programming. This balance reflects our commitment to fiscal responsibility and ensures resources are focused on building safe, decent, and affordable housing.
