All monies donated through the site are processed by DPS and transferred to Habitat for Humanity directly. HFH then matches those funds with the donation receipt information provided through the site to credit your event. There is a 4.5% credit card fee which is deducted. For example. If a donor gives $100 to an event the donor will receive a receipt for $100 but only $95.5 will go toward that event.

*Money collected by Habitat for Humanity cannot be credited back to you personally for rest and recreation costs as part of a Global Village trip.

*Money given in excess of your fundraising goal can:

  1. be allocated to another team member
  2. carried forward towards a future Global Village trip.
  3. given as a donation to Habitat for Humanity in the event of a Global Village trip, to the host country, or to Habitat for Humanity NZ in the case of a local event.

No. The person or organisation you are supporting can only use this fundraising site for the Habitat Build portion of the trip, not rest and recreation. Any money raised over and above the legitimate cost of the trip (determined by the team leader and authorised by Habitat for Humanity) will be used by the designated project. Habitat will send a tax rebateable receipt to you for your donation.
