About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International Inc. stands out for channeling large grants into local Habitat affiliates that build and preserve affordable housing at scale. The recent awards show repeated support for the same network partners across multiple years, including Twin Cities Hfh in St. Paul, Greater Memphis Hfh in Memphis, and Charlotte Region Hfh of the in Pineville. That pattern points to a funder that backs ongoing project work rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation’s giving reaches a broad set of housing needs inside Habitat’s model: affordable housing, affiliate support, home construction, and related project work tied to community housing delivery. Recent awards also include direct support for place-based housing efforts in Greater Los Angeles, East Baysilicon Valley, Cleveland, Summit County, and Puerto Rico. The largest recent grant listed is $6,365,641 to Twin Cities Hfh for affordable housing, while several other grants are in the multi-million-dollar range. With annual grants of $302,618,977 and total assets of $759,980,018, the organization operates at a substantial scale within the housing sector.
