Donating to North St. Louis County Habitat for Humanity
North St. Louis County Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This means that we run largely on generous donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations.

We respect the privacy of our donors. We do not share or provide your name or donation information with any other organization, except what is required by law.
Ways to donate
MONETARY DONATIONS
Too many people in our communities work overtime and still can’t afford a decent place to live. Children are cold due to poorly insulated homes and high energy costs. North St. Louis County Habitat for Humanity has helped 120 families build and buy comfortable, affordable homes. We need your help to keep making a difference in our neighbors’ lives.
A $37,440 salary is needed to afford an average two-bedroom apartment on the Iron Range, according to the Minnesota Housing Partnership. This is out of reach for home healthcare aides, retail workers, restaurant employees, and many more essential workers. Over 25% of St. Louis County renters spend more than half of their wages on housing. No one should face that burden.
Please consider how much you can donate. Your contribution:
• Ensures more of our neighbors can afford decent housing.
• Offers immediate resources to help build energy-efficient homes.
• Adds to the local tax base and revitalizes vacant or blighted lots.
The most common contribution is monetary donations. In 2023, 83 cents of every dollar spent went toward our homebuilding program. If you wish to donate via mail, please send it to:
