Third-Party Fundraisers
Raise funds while raising awareness.
With a little creativity and passion, anyone can become a fundraiser for Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity.
By sharing your passion and goal with your friends and family, you can double your impact to increase donations and awareness.
Third-Party Fundraising is an event or activity organized by an individual, company, community group, or organization that is not an official Habitat for Humanity event but donates proceeds from the event to the mission, families, and community at Habitat for Humanity. Fundraising for Greater Matthews Habitat for Humanity is a unique opportunity to take a proactive step in serving our community.
