Thank you for your interest in Hanover Habitat for Humanity. We are an interfaith, nonprofit, Christian organization, committed in partnership with qualified families and community volunteers to create and sell homes with no-profit mortgages. With your support we will continue to build hope and opportunity through homeownership in 2012.
So far this fiscal year, Hanover Habitat has given out $36,143 in Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) state tax credits to our donors! Donors have until the end of June to donate and benefit from this program.
Individuals must donate a minimum of $500 to be eligible for a state tax credit equal to 40% of their donation. In this case, that would be a tax credit of $200. If you are in the top federal tax bracket of 35% and the top state tax bracket of 5.75% and you get the NAP tax credit, then you are eligible for an 80.75% return on your $500 donation. This amounts to a $403.75 reduction! Or, put another way, your $500 donation costs you only $96.25! The same holds true for business donors, except that their minimum donation has to be $1,000. Please call our office at 804-569-6108 for more information!

A New Life for Ler Htoo,
Lay Htoo and Family
|
The Htoo family have lived in Hanover County for three years, in a house with a leaky roof, drafty windows and unaffordable heating bills. Combined with these daily struggles, the Htoo's are also refugees from Burma. Prior to arriving in America four years ago, the Htoo family and many minority groups in Burma were persecuted, partially because of their Christian beliefs. A love for and faith in Jesus Christ made the Htoo family a target of the military government in Burma, forcing them to flee into a refugee camp for ten years before coming to America almost five years ago. Now permanent residents, they have been in Hanover County for three years and in that short period of time have worked hard and become eligible for a Habitat home. We began their home before Thanksgiving.
