Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building and renovating simple, decent and affordable homes is supported by donations from companies, churches, foundations and individuals. Your contributions help us purchase the construction materials needed to build affordable homes in Milwaukee neighborhoods. Volunteer labor and donated materials help your dollar go further.

Donate

By making a donation, you help support the more than 25 families we serve annually. Help us build homes and hope in Milwaukee, by making a tax-deductable contribution today.
Support one of our special build projects such as the Women Build, Youth United or A Brush with Kindness. These homes are built or rehabbed by a collaboration of sponsors and donors.
