Host an Event
Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East appreciates all who want to help us further our mission to create successful homeownership by partnering hardworking families in need with the community to build healthy, affordable homes. One of the many ways to support Habitat is by planning an event to raise funds for our affiliate, known as a”third-party fundraiser.” We are grateful for funds raised through third-party fundraisers, as they help us to continue building locally. As the event organizer, we ask that you assume the responsibility of creating an event without any (or very limited) staff assistance. The nature of these fundraisers limits us because we cannot schedule, budget, nor predict a reliable source of revenue from such events. For full details about how to host fundraising event for Habitat please download this third-party fundraiser pdf.
Sponsor an Event
Sponsorships provide an excellent opportunity for corporations and individuals to display their commitment to improving local housing. Sponsor names and logos are incorporated into an extensive marketing campaign. Please consider supporting a signature event that will enable Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East to build homes.
Habitat has two annual fundraising events:

Mary Bounvassana lives with her two children Jeremias, 12, and Alicia, 10. Mary is a single mom and works as a bank teller. They live in a two-bedroom apartment that is poorly insulated, with an extensive mold problem which has caused both of her children asthma. The bathroom sink, bathtub, and toilet all get clogged due to poor plumbing. Mary and her children would love to move into a new house where they could all have separate rooms and a safe area to play.
