Land for Sale

As the Fort Dodge area continues to grow, securing land for Twin Rivers Habitat For Humanity home projects becomes more challenging.  If you are aware of  a parcel of land in the area that may be available, we’d like to talk to you!

Twin Rivers Habitat For Humanity purchases land at fair appraisal value. We do not purchase property in the floodplain and we do not mediate heirship issues. If you know of such property or would like to speak to us about the sale or donation of your property, please contact us. Thank you for helping to create affordable housing in Webster and Humboldt counties.

To find out how you can financially benefit Twin Rivers Habitat For Humanity and provide a lasting legacy, contact us at (515) 576-4316.

Stocks and Bond Gifts

A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously sharing with others. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation. In addition to helping Twin Rivers Habitat for Humanity, you may diversify away from low-basis, long-term holdings into other assets that will better suit your current needs. If you would like to discuss a gift of stocks or bonds, please call us at (515) 576-4316.
