Why Should You Support Flagler Habitat for Humanity Endowment with Mark Larmore

 

 

At Flagler Habitat for Humanity, we give local families the opportunity to achieve homeownership and build a brighter future. In the past thirty years,
we've built over 120 homes for families in need, but our impact goes beyond just building houses. We’ve made investments in our neighborhoods, especially in South Bunnell, that focus on improving the overall quality of life for the whole community. This includes addressing critical needs such as infrastructure, education, mail services, community space improvements, and so much more.

 

Earlier this year, we launched an endowment with the Community Foundation of Volusia-Flagler Counties, thanks to the generous support of an anonymous local benefactor. Our endowment funds are invested to grow over time, providing Flagler Habitat with an annual distribution to support our programs. This endowment serves as a financial backbone, enabling us to continue our mission of providing affordable homes and uplifting local neighborhoods.

 

We chose the Community Foundation because as a non-profit fiduciary, we knew they would provide responsible management and stewardship of our funds. Their performance is in the top 8% of national foundations, and they have a direct connection to our local community. This year alone, their organization will distribute more than $2 million in grants to their partners in our community including the Flagler Education Foundation, Washington Oaks Gardens State Park and hundreds of other local non-profits.

 

Your support for the endowment will help more families achieve their dream of homeownership. When you donate to the Flagler Habitat for Humanity Endowment Fund through the Community Foundation, every dollar you give goes directly to the Endowment and becomes part of the fund that will generate new revenue for our mission every single year. What can I do if I want to help? You can contribute directly to the Flagler Habitat Endowment Fund by check.
