Sponsors will have the chance to decorate their “stud” with paint or a written message before it’s installed, provided the design does not compromise the wood’s structural integrity. This gives businesses, families, and organizations a meaningful way to share words of encouragement that will become a permanent part of a future home.

How to Sponsor a Stud

Any business or individual interested in sponsoring a stud should email habitatforhumanity@ua.edu for more details.

Habitat for Humanity is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so all donations are fully tax-deductible. Documentation can be provided upon request.
