Financial Support
With your financial support, families can build strength, stability and independence with Habitat for Humanity by building a safe and secure place to call home.
Families who partner with Habitat build their own homes alongside volunteers, pay an affordable mortgage and are grateful for your help.
GEM (Give Every Month) Partners make automatic donations every month, which makes it easier for Habitat to plan long-term, budget more efficiently and create more life-changing outcomes. You choose how much to give and for how long, and you can change your amount or cancel at any time.
If you’d like to make a donation to Habitat by check, please make your check out to "Habitat for Humanity of Craven County" and mail it to our administrative office:
Habitat for Humanity of Craven County
321 Fleet Street
New Bern, NC 28562

Many donors choose to make stock gifts each year. A charitable gift of stock held for more than 12 months offers a two-fold tax savings:
- Avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increase in value of your stock
- Receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift
The fastest and easiest way to make a gift of stock is to have your broker perform an electronic transfer. You can also contact Executive Director, Tracey Lilly.
