2021/2022 Habitat House

Last year (2021-20220), the Southeast Valley Lutheran Coalition of Habitat for Humanity built a home for the Jama family. The site, at 667 W. 19th St., Tempe, was the 25th home that the Southeast Valley Lutheran Coalition has built.

Use Your  Arizona Tax Credit

The primary way that the Southeast Valley Lutheran Coalition raises money is donations from individual supporters through the Arizona tax credit program.  You may donate up to $800 for a joint return and $400 for a single return and receive a dollar for dollar tax credit. Itemizing on your state tax return is not required to claim the credit. The deadline for contributions is April 15, 2021. Contributors will receive a formal thank you letter from Habitat for Humanity, which serves as a donation receipt for tax purposes. The tax credit program works just like the school donation programs and you can do both.  Other Ways to Donate

Donations can be made online at http://habitatcaz.org/donate. Be sure to note that your donation is for the Southeast Valley Lutheran Coalition — Esperanza Lutheran Church.  If you wish to donate by check, make it payable to Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona, not Esperanza. Please remember to include in the memo line on your check “SEVLC Esperanza Lutheran Church” so that our church gets credit for the donation. Please do not drop your checks off at the church as we will not be able to hand deliver them to Habitat due to COVID -19 concerns.

Mail your check directly to Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona at: 2830 W. Glendale Ave, Phoenix Az 85051 or  P.O. Box 39730 Phoenix, AZ 85069
