Habitat for Humanity DeKalb: Building Homes, Building Futures

At Habitat for Humanity DeKalb, we believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Our mission is to empower homeowners through affordable mortgages, comprehensive financial education, and hands-on building experiences alongside dedicated volunteers. In addition to helping families achieve homeownership, we also provide essential repairs and modifications for older adults in DeKalb County, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a safe and comfortable living environment.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Your contributions are vital to our work. One impactful way to support Habitat for Humanity DeKalb is through a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA. If you’re 70½ or older, you can donate up to $100,000 annually, tax-free. This not only lowers your taxable income—even if you don’t itemize deductions—but also allows you to meet your required minimum distribution (RMD) without increasing your taxable income.

Additionally, regardless of your age, there are several ways you can make a meaningful impact:

• Gifts of Stock: Donating stock can offer significant benefits, including the potential to eliminate capital gains taxes.
• IRA Beneficiary Designation: Consider naming Habitat for Humanity DeKalb as a beneficiary of your IRA, helping to support our mission long after your lifetime.

Thank you for your continued support! Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable community.
