Building Community Together.

Connect people, build community, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone.

ABOUT US

Havenhaus is a small, emerging non-profit project based in and around Wolfville, the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.

We’re here to back local community builders and neighbours who are already doing good work but are sometimes short on time, money, or hands.

Our vision is to run small, transparent fundraisers and offer practical help for modest projects—like simple huts and community outbuildings on contemplative land, and microgrants for local efforts.

Active Fundraisers

Modest, Low-Impact Huts

The first fundraising initiative is a small huts project on nearby land owned by a quiet, contemplative community.

Our hope is to raise funds for THREE (3) modest huts that can be used for affordable stays by people connected to the local community.

One hut can be built for approximately $5000.00, for a total fundraising goal of $15,000.

These would be basic, low-impact spaces and any build will only move ahead with the full agreement of the landholders and local partners.

Targeted Micro-Grants

Where a modest amount of money can unblock a specific project, Havenhaus will fundraise and offer small, targeted microgrants—things like materials,labour, fees, or other direct costs.

These will be decided on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on local community builders, farms, and small initiatives that match the Havenhaus ethos.

Longterm Fundraising Goals

Havenhaus is starting very small. If the basics are stable and there is local and online support, future fundraising may include:

A community hall – outbuilding for study, small gatherings, and community events.
A community garden for walks, talks, and meditations.
A community truck with plow – a dedicated Havenhaus project truck and a basic tool pool for supporting local farms and community builders.
Additional micro homes and a separate shared bathroom/washhouse building.

Each project moves ahead only with clear local agreement and funding.
