Sustainable Living Dinner

9 Mar
spring_web_bannerSustainable Living, Sustainable Giving Dinner

The Sustainable Living, Sustainable Giving™ Dinner will serve as a major annual source of sustaining income to pay indirect and overhead costs.

Sustainable Living, Sustainable Giving

Each home Habitat builds incurs three kinds of costs. Direct costs represent the total price of materials used to build the home, from wood to siding to pipes to doorknobs as well as any payment to subcontractors. This currently runs about $75,000. Covenant partners fund this amount. Indirect costs represent affiliate outlays directly related to the house build, such as construction staff salaries, gas, required permits, and land purchase and readying costs. Overhead costs arise from the organization’s day to day needs as it helps to build homes. These include office utilities, maintenance, salaries for financial and development officers, marketing, etc. Indirect and Overhead costs currently run in the range of $20,000- $30,000 per house.
