Sponsorship Information

Square Foot Sponsorship

In addition to building homes with area affiliates of Habitat for Humanity, the University of Rochester Chapter of Habitat is currently raising money to sponsor, or co-sponsor a house. To be acknowledged as a house sponsor an organization must contribute a minimum of $10,000, but our end goal is to raise the total $65,000 needed to build a house. By holding a variety of annual fundraisers and activities over the past four years we have raised over $8,000, mostly through the continuing support of the UR community. We are now looking to speed up the fundraising process by branching out of the University community. In order to reach our goal, we invite you to support one (or more!) square foot, at a cost of $65 each.

As a Square Foot Sponsor, you and your business will be helping to empower a local family in need, giving them not only a safe shelter, but a home to call their own. The bulk of the sponsorship money we raise will go towards the necessary building supplies for the UR Habitat sponsored home. The remaining funds are used to compensate contractors, electricians, and an experienced build supervisor. Most of the work that goes into all Habitat homes is done by volunteers. The UR-sponsored house will be built largely by University of Rochester students, along with other Rochester community volunteers. All of our contributors will be invited to help build as well – a truly rewarding experience!

To acknowledge your sponsorship of University of Rochester's Habitat House, you will receive an attractive "Square Foot" certificate to let others know you are supporting a great cause.
