- Catherine Woodward, Executive Director, Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity

GAHH is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. Since their founding in 1989, GAHH has built over 150 houses.

My Services: Retainer as Development Director to increase donations and build an infrastructure for consistent development activities, including annual fundraisers and events.

Results: Fundraisers achieved record results two years in a row.

A personal note from Mary: I believe strongly in GAHH, since safe, comfortable housing is a critical requirement for people to better their lives and their communities. I've personally seen the results throughout Albuquerque. The pride of ownership. The neat homes. It makes a very big difference. And, contrary to what some believe, you don't have to be a Christian to qualify; in fact, Habitat builds home all over the globe. I encourage my readers to support their local Habitat affiliate.
