Changing the world is possible
Transforming a plot of dirt into a home is dramatic, but real change occurs when a family transitions out of poverty housing. At Habitat for Humanity, our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Affordable homeownership creates opportunities for families by fostering a sense of security and a space to grow.
Habitat for Humanity of Montezuma County builds safe, affordable houses for qualified homebuyers regardless of race, religion or background.
Each home is built in partnership with homeowner families, sponsors and volunteers. Our houses are safe and affordable. Partner families repay Habitat an affordable mortgage.
Prospective homeowners also attend workshops and partner with our Family Services Committee so that they are well prepared to become homeowners.
Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. We encourage applicants with inadequate housing who have been unable to pursue homeownership by traditional means.
Habitat International Cars for Homes
We are encouraging community members to donate any vehicle, working or not, through Habitat for Humanity International’s Cars for Homes program as part of our fundraising efforts.
Make sure you mention Habitat Montezuma County when speaking with a representative.
How Cars for Homes Works
Donors can begin the process online or by calling the Habitat International vehicle donation hotline at 877-277-4244. Staff or representatives will ask for basic vehicle information, including make, model, vehicle identification number (VIN), and current mileage, then help schedule a pickup time. Most donations are picked up at no cost to the donor, and vehicles don’t need to be running.
Tax Benefits for Donors
Donating your vehicle through Cars for Homes can offer valuable tax advantages. As a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Habitat for Humanity International provides documentation needed for tax purposes. If the vehicle sells for more than $500, donors may generally deduct the full selling price. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, donors may deduct the fair market value of the vehicle, up to $500 – though donors should consult a tax professional to determine how this applies to their personal situation.
