Tax deductibility of a Global Village trip

Habitat for Humanity International will send a tax acknowledgement letter to everyone who makes a payment or donation via check, money order or credit card with additional details about tax deductibility.

Generally, a participant can deduct a portion of her/his payments if she/he itemizes their year-end tax return, to the extent that "there was no significant element of pleasure in the trip". Other supporters may often claim a full deduction because their support is considered to be given to Habitat on an unfettered basis (as opposed to supporting only an individual.)

Please consult with a tax specialist concerning your specific situation.
