Host a Workplace Giving Event

Let us help you!

A workplace giving event not only helps charities and the community, it’s a great and effective way to increase employee retention, boost morale and contribute to your corporate social responsibility goals. Habitat Greater Ottawa staff are available to host a lunch and learn, presentation, speaking opportunity or run a booth/table. We’re pleased to engage with your staff and coworkers to discuss the importance of affordable homeownership and building stronger, healthier communities.

Host a Sign-a-Stud Event

At Habitat Greater Ottawa we can host your office’s Sign-a-Stud event where businesses can sponsor their employees to sign wooden 2×4 “framing studs” and leave heartfelt messages for the Habitat families.

These decorated framing studs will be installed in Habitat Greater Ottawa’s next development including pictures and social media acknowledgement. Click here to view photos from Colonnade BridgePort’s Sign-a-Stud event.
