Special Events

Come out to attend our events, or become a sponsor with a larger contribution.

Stocks

Donations of appreciated stock provide much needed funding for MHFH and two special tax advantages for you: Donating an appreciated stock enables you to claim the current fully appreciated pre-tax market value as a tax-deductible charitable contribution. By transferring the stock to Morris Habitat as a charitable gift, you avoid all capital gains taxes.

Example: You purchase 500 shares of publicly traded stock in 1998 for $10,000. Three years later, those shares are now worth $16,500. When you donate the stocks to Morris Habitat, you may be able to claim the full $16,500 as a deduction (depending on your adjusted gross income), and you will pay no capital gains tax on the appreciation.

Please consult your financial advisor to determine what works best for you.

Toner Cartridges and Cell Phones

Help to house a family in need by recycling your empty ink-jet cartridges and old cell phones. Liberty Alliance pays Morris Habitat’s Youth United for each cartridge that can be re-manufactured. The ink-jet and cell phone envelopes are bar-coded and postage-paid so you can send them from anywhere. Contact at 973.891.1934 to request free envelopes or a dispenser for your home, office or school.

Bequests/Planned Giving

Including Morris Habitat for Humanity in your will and estate planning is a wonderful way to continue helping us build homes for families in need. The Doris Holder Memorial House on Fairlawn Avenue in Randolph was sponsored by a bequest.

Advanced planning will enable the gift to be exempt from estate taxes. Again, we urge you to consult your financial advisor to determine what works best for you.

The Dale Anderson Memorial Fund

Morris Habitat established a Memorial Fund in honor of former Florham Park Mayor, Dale Anderson, for our home repair ministry. Upon his untimely death, family and friends of Dale Anderson chose to recognize him by supporting a much-needed ministry: helping very low-income or disabled homeowners with minor home repairs to their homes. The home repair ministry helps homeowners whose income is too low to allow them to hire people through normal ways to work on repairs so that they may continue to live in a decent affordable home. The funds help offset repair costs to very low-income families in need.

Your donation to the Dale Anderson Memorial Fund enables Morris Habitat for Humanity to assist more families in need. For more information or to find out how to donate, please call the Morris Habitat offices at 973.891.1934.
