It's a thrill to return on behalf of Northern Trust (Plus Friends/Fans) to the popular Habitat Women Build initiative for the 2026 year. Last year was great fun and this year we hope to make an even bigger positive impact for Habitat.

March is International Women’s Month, and you have a chance to participate in a month-long advocacy campaign. This campaign will powerfully highlight the critical need for women to have equitable access to safe and affordable homeownership opportunities in our community.

A Historic Milestone:

• This year’s Build will also mark 34 years of partnership with Habitat for Humanity International’s Women Build initiative.

• We’re celebrating this legacy in 2026 by setting an ambitious goal: to raise $80,000 for Women Build 2026.

Meet the Family You’ll Empower:

The Women Build 2026 “hand-up” recipients are The King Family, led by two sisters! Your support will directly empower them to achieve the stability and self-reliance that comes with owning a home.
