Our supporters are amazing. We’re not a large organization, and we don’t receive any government or large corporate funding. But we’re able to make a difference through the generosity of many extraordinary people. We also work in areas where a dollar can stretch a lot further (around 70:1 in India, for example), and we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donation may be tax deductible in the US. Thank you for supporting our work!

We have accounts with both Bank of America and Bank of Hawaii. Contact us for details to arrange a direct transfer.
Does your company match employee donations (either financial or time)? If so, we have a bunch of information on our foundation page here that might be helpful to your Gift Matching Department so you and they can double the impact of your support to Hands on Houses.

(You may be able to deduct the value of the stock as a charitable contribution. But check with your CPA, please. We're house builders, not tax professionals!)
Donor Advised Funds (for example Fidelity Charitable) might prefer to send funds directly to our registered office, and may need us to provide additional information or verification. Much of what they need can be found on our foundation page here. Please let us know if you need us to verify or provide any info your DAF might require.
