Habitat for Humanity of the U. S. Virgin Islands is a non-profit 501c(3) corporation, so all gifts are tax-deductible. Besides an outright gift of cash, there are many tax-wise methods of supporting our Virgin Islands affiliate.

Methods of Giving:

  • Mail-in Your Donation:
    • Cash keeps us afloat and makes happy hearts!
    • We dislike always asking for money, but money makes this very worthwhile project grow! . Download our check or money order mail-in donation form. Then, mail your donation to Habitat for Humanity of the U. S. Virgin Islands, 5600 Corporate Place, Royal Dane Mall, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, 00802.
  • Donate Online:
    • Please open your heart and purse to this tax-deductible project. Then, join us at our construction site and you'll see and feel the joy of giving! You can now donate online using your credit card. When donating online, remember to identify our affiliate by including U.S. Virgin Islands or our zip code of 00802. The funds will then be transferred to our account and used to build affordable homes locally.
    • We have contracted the services of a banking partner to process credit card donations submitted online. Our banking partner's secured server encrypts your credit card information so that it may be safely transmitted over the Web. Your credit card information will not be released by Habitat or its banking partner to any other party. Transmission of your personal and payment information is done via Industry leading Secure Socket Layers (SSL). This is to ensure that no third party gains access to your information while it is in transfer between your computer and our web site server.
  • Donate Your Time:
    • The excitement is building!
    • We welcome skilled and unskilled people who would like to give some of their time to work on our various committees, work on mailings, help with office work, and of course, help build Habitat houses. There is almost nothing as rewarding as seeing a volunteer job come together! Join us in building that excitement!

    • Materials: You name it, we can probably use it!

Call Alan Fleming (340-714-5678) or email Alan (afleming@habitat.vi), if you have items to donate!
    • Services: Our communications needs are growing! We are blessed with a couple of people who are generously donating paper stock and printing services for our printed materials. We are very thankful for that, but run the risk of asking for too much at times, so another printer donating services would be greatly appreciated. Contact: Selina Williams, swilliams@habitat.vi
