There is no fee to become a covenant partner, nor any annual fees. We do not take any cut of your ReStore or other fundraising efforts. Partners are encouraged — but not required — to tithe to help support our work internationally in less-fortunate countries. Our international partners can build for much lower cost than our U.S. partners, so your tithes can make a huge impact around the world.

You know best what work is needed in your community. Our covenant partners are expected to follow our basic principles that have stood the test of time since Millard and Linda Fuller launched their affordable housing ministry in the 1970s, but the details of how you work — such as whether you will focus on new construction or repairs — is up to you. We stand ready to assist you in your mission, not dictate.

The Fuller Center offers a group 501(c)(3), Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws template. We will prepare you a logo that conforms to our basic style but with your community’s name added to it for your letterhead and signage. This logo is provided in pdf, jpeg, png and Adobe Illustrator formats. The latter is preferred by printers who need high-resolution images for everything from T-shirts to billboards and banners. Here is a basic example of how the logo will look.

We would love to have more U.S. site opportunities for churches, colleges and other groups who want to spend a week making a tangible difference for families in need. If you would like to host these teams and have them infuse your work with a burst of energy and excitement, we offer U.S. Builders recruitment and registration services through our headquarters. Hosting U.S. Builders teams also is a great way to engage your local churches in hosting responsibilities such as feeding and housing volunteers and an opportunity to engage with media outlets who often do stories on out-of-town teams who come into their communities to work.

Peer-to-peer networking with successful leaders in an affordable housing movement with a 40-plus-year legacy. Our most outstanding covenant partner leaders across the nation are happy to share their positive experiences and their learning they have gleaned from both successes and setbacks.
