Sponsorship Overview

Becoming a Sponsor and Choosing a House Captain

Contributors of $5,025 or more ($3,025 or more for places of worship and civic organizations) to the Rebuilding Together program, become Home Repair Sponsors. Repair Sponsors usually (but not always) have a team of volunteers planning to repair a home in April. If your group has a volunteer team who wants to work on a project, your first task is choosing a House Captain and/or Co-Captain. The House Captain serves as organizer, work planner, project manager, and repair team liaison with our office. If your group doesn't have a House Captain, we will try to find an experienced volunteer to help you.

House Captains

The House Captain and Co-Captain work together as a project management team. They inspect the project site, plan the scope of work, establish a relationship with the client, ensure the necessary materials and supplies are on hand and within budget and coordinate their volunteers for a fun, safe and successful Rebuilding Day work experience. The staff of Rebuilding Together of Washington, DC are committed to providing you support through the organizing process.

The House Captain and Co-Captain will attend the House Captain meeting and training session where staff and board members will meet with you to discuss techniques and strategies for a successful experience. You will also receive the name and address of the homeowner you will be helping and your House Captain manual (an invaluable resource containing volunteer waiver forms, request forms for trade-specific assistance, trash container request forms, etc.).

Other Benefits of Repair Sponsorship

In addition to the satisfaction and fun of sponsoring a house, your organization will be recognized in our Annual Report. Contributors of amounts greater than $5,025 will be specifically recognized as Major Donors or Foundation Builders, depending on the level of their donation. A sign with the name of your organization will be placed at the front of your sponsored home during the last weekend in April. All volunteers are asked to wear the official Rebuilding Together of Washington, DC t-shirts. Most sponsors enjoy having their corporate logo place on these thousands of t-shirts that are distributed each year.
