Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis (HFHSL) has developed an In-kind Donations Partnership Program so that we can improve our partnerships with local companies and can afford them the recognition they deserve for their contributions. It is our intention to ensure that the partnership is mutually beneficial and that your company's needs and interests are met. To this end, we will work with you to customize an in-kind program that fits your company's needs. Our program is flexible and is composed of the following opportunities to partner with HFHSL:
Exclusive Provider Level
If your company is interested in becoming our exclusive provider of a specific material or service for all our homes to help us to reduce our construction costs for a multi-year period, then the Exclusive Provider Level is right for you. Being our exclusive provider of a material or service does not necessarily mean that your company must donate the item or service for every house. It may mean you provide us with some in-kind donations and give us competitive pricing or leverage your vendor relationships to help us get the best possible value. It also means that you work with us to cost-effectively provide a material or service for every house we are currently building and that we may give your company or business for multiple years. Click here to learn about the different ways we are currently partnering with our Exclusive Providers to further our mission to eliminate substandard housing in the St. Louis area.
Partner Level
If your company is interested in donating a specific material or service to help us to reduce our construction costs for a certain number of houses, then the Partner Level is right for you. Learn more about our Local Partners and National Partners.
Whether you are able to partner with us at the Exclusive Provider Level or at the Partner Level, your company can choose to partner with us in whichever way works best for you, utilizing a combination of donations and competitive pricing. We have summarized the partnership options we have identified below:
- Donation of materials/product
- Donation of labor
- Below-cost pricing of materials/product
- Below-cost pricing of labor
- At-cost pricing of materials/product
- At-cost pricing of labor
- Leverage buying power and relationships with suppliers for donations and competitive pricing
We encourage you to engage your suppliers to enhance the partnership and to share in the effort your company is making. We would like to establish a community-wide effort consisting of companies that are using their strengths, expertise, and relationships to help HFHSL build homes in partnership with families in need. There are a variety of benefits and appreciation incentives that we can provide your company, depending on the partnership.
If there are any partnership possibilities that are not listed here from which you think both your company and HFHSL could benefit, we would love to hear from you. Our goal is to work with you to make sure that both your company and HFHSL get the most out of our partnership.
