If you, an immediate family member, your business partner or any business in which you have a financial interest receives an unsolicited gift with a monetary value in excess of $25 you should contact your supervisor, the President/CEO, or the chairperson of the Board immediately. Any such gift is the property of Habitat for Humanity.
