Enter Awards Programs for Community Contributions

The National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of NAHB, is seeking entries for two awards recognizing the charitable contributions and altruistic differences building professionals make in their communities.

Entries for both awards are due Friday, Nov. 3.

Every year, in towns and cities across the country, housing professionals perform countless philanthropic projects, both as individuals and as part of their local or state associations.

Each year, NAHB honors their generosity through the National Housing Endowment/Home Builders Care Project of the Year Award and the National Housing Endowment Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service.

Home Builders Care Project of the Year Award

The endowment’s Home Builders Care Project of the Year Award, now in its sixth year, recognizes outstanding community service projects developed and implemented by local or state home builders associations (HBAs) or councils affiliated with NAHB.

Winners will receive a $5,000 donation directed to the charity of their choice and will be recognized at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla. in February.

Previous winners include:

The Home Builders Association of Central New York
The Home Builders Association of Jackson County, Ore.
The Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando, Fla.
The Northeast Florida Builders Association
John King of Rampart Homes, a member of the Home Builders Association of Sarasota County, Fla.

Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service

The endowment’s Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service showcases the exceptional endeavors of builders, developers and remodelers. Now in its second year, eight winners will be honored at IBS.

Winners will receive a donation to be directed to their charity of choice: $10,000 for Gold winners; $5,000 for Silver; $2,500 for Bronze; and $1,000 each to the honorable mentions. To read about the 2005 winners, click here.
