Austin Habitat for Humanity will host the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project in fall 2025!
During its 40-year history, the Carter Work Project has traveled to 14 countries and brought 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. The 2025 Carter Work Project will launch Austin Habitat’s construction efforts in Whisper Valley in Eastern Travis County, the first geothermal neighborhood in the country!
Thanks to a generous matching gift from the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, every dollar you give will be doubled up to $1 million. Time is limited, and your support is crucial to unlocking the full potential of the match. Make twice the impact today and be a part of something historic!
The success of Habitat’s mission relies on the amazing commitment of sponsors, donors, community partners, and volunteers. Your support helps families in Austin find safe and affordable homes. Join us as an individual or organizational sponsor of the Carter Work Project and enjoy benefits like national visibility, brand alignment, exclusive volunteer opportunities, and the chance to be part of this historic endeavor.
The Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project is an annual celebration honoring the profound impact President and Mrs. Carter have had on Habitat for Humanity’s mission worldwide. Over its nearly 40-year journey, this project has reached 14 countries, uniting thousands of volunteers, celebrities, elected officials, and other notable figures to build homes and highlight the critical need for affordable homeownership opportunities. As Austin Habitat marks its 40th Anniversary in 2025, we are thrilled to host this historic event in the Live Music Capital of the World!
The 2025 Carter Work Project will expand Austin Habitat’s construction efforts into eastern Travis County with Whisper Valley, a revolutionary community committed to sustainability. Situated between Tesla’s Gigafactory and Samsung’s $7 billion production facility, Whisper Valley will be the first fully geothermal neighborhood in the U.S. Homes will feature geothermal heat pumps and solar panels and be designed to generate more energy than they consume, achieving a Home Energy Rating System rating of 25. Residents will benefit from Signature Park— over 600 acres (twice the size of Zilker Park), a 26-mile hike and bike trail, pocket parks, multiple community centers, community gardens, two gas stations, and on-site elementary, middle, and high schools.
A heartfelt thank you to the generous organizations and individuals who support this historic event.
