A four-year strategic plan to insure BHFH sustainability has been actualized!

In Phase I, private foundation grants were awarded from the Ford Family Foundation ($150,000), the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust ($150,000), the Spirit Mountain Foundation ($50,000), the Paul G. Allen Foundation ($100,000), and a Capital Campaign and community donors ($40,000) to purchase the ReStore, BHfH's primary funding source. Operational grants from the Department of Environmental Quality ($17,000) and the Host Surcharge Grant ($12,000) partially matched purchase grants. Title to property transferred in December 2006.  

In Phase II, our ReStore inventory yards, administration office and future cornerstone training facility were secured through grants from Meyer Memorial Trust ($250,000), the Fisher Trust ($430,000),  the Ford Family Foundation ($280,000) and the M.J. Murdock Foundation ($200,000). These grants were matched by a second round of operational grants from the Department of Environmental Quality and the Host Surcharge ($49,000 in all).  Title to property transferred in December, 2008.  

Consolidating our base of operations and securing the store site creates a sustainable funding source to support Benton Habitat's primary mission of providing affordable homes for hard-working, lower income famlies in Benton County, Oregon and a dynamic mentoring program that engages people from different backgrounds, ages, cultures, perspectives and creeds in the common mission to BUILD HOPE!
