HBAs: Challenge/Build/Grow Initiative Proposals Due April 17

The National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of NAHB, is seeking proposals from state and local home builders associations through its Challenge/Build/Grow (CBG) matching funds initiative.

Under the program, HBAs are encouraged to find opportunities to build new partnerships in their communities to assist local programs targeting issues of importance to the industry — including job training, image building and  labor shortage, educational and scholarship support.

The endowment will award HBAs a total of $25,000 through the grant initiative, with each applicant eligible for a matching challenge grant of up to $5,000.

HBA Proposals Must Be Received by Friday, April 17

Applications and guidelines can be downloaded from the endowment Web site by clicking here.

Completed proposals can be e-mailed to the endowment at nhe@nahb.com.

HBAs requesting grants are encouraged to seek advice on their proposals from the endowment staff well in advance of the deadline.

Since the program was launched in 2001, more than $175,000 has been awarded to state and local HBAs throughout the country.
