2024 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project 

What is the Carter Work Project?

When: September 29 – October 4, 2024

Where: The Heights development on St. Paul’s Greater East Side

What: The Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project is like Habitat for Humanity’s Superbowl. During its nearly 40-year history, the Carter Work Project has traveled to 14 countries and brings together thousands of volunteers, celebrities, elected officials, and other VIPs to build homes and cast a global spotlight on the urgent importance of affordable housing. And this fall, the global spotlight is shining on Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Altogether, 4,000+ volunteers came together to build 30 homes in St. Paul.

Honorarium Policy

We appreciate the time and energy it takes for our homeowners and homebuyers to move our mission forward through participation in the Carter Work Project. As partners, we recognize this contribution by honorarium. An honorarium is a one-time payment made in gratitude for volunteering your time.

If a homeowner household provides media support and volunteering for the day, they will receive two one-time honoraria - one for each type of service.

Honoraria will be distributed by check or gift card at the Info Desk on the day of service during the Carter Work Project. Those who would prefer to receive a check must submit a completed W9 form to homeowner@tchabitat.org no later than August 30, 2024. If you wish to receive a gift card, no action is required.

If distributed gift cards or checks exceed $600 in a year, funds will need to be included as income on state and federal taxes.

Disclaimer

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) partners with clients to achieve affordable homeownership. Throughout the process, there are specific requirements that could include but are not limited to homebuyer education and coaching, to be fulfilled to get to a home closing and ownership of the home. Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity also provides volunteer opportunities for prospective homebuyer clients through our Volunteer and Learn Program that could include but are not limited to volunteering on a TCHFH build site or ReStore, speaking at an event at the request of TCHFH, or being featured in a TCHFH blog, photograph, or video. These volunteer activities are compensated per our Client Recognition Policy. Homeownership is not contingent upon any of these volunteer activities and in no way ensures that the client attains homeownership through Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
