Community Service Award to Honor Builders ― Enter Now

 NAHB invites builders to submit entries for a new community service award that will recognize members for their generous philanthropic work. The National Housing Endowment Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service will honor builders who demonstrate an exceptional commitment to bettering their communities and promoting the spirit of giving so prevalent in the home building industry.

The award, to be presented annually beginning with the 2006 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla., will honor eight winners, including Gold, Silver, Bronze and five honorable mentions. Winners will receive a donation to the charity of their choice: $10,000 for Gold; $5,000 for Silver; $2,500 for Bronze; and $1,000 each to the honorable mentions.

Award Qualifications

To be considered for the award, the community service project should be completed before Nov. 18. In addition, the project:

  • Must meet a defined and demonstrated community need
  • Succeed in motivating other NAHB members and/or company staff to participate
  • Be a project that can be replicated by other builders


The complete award description and entry form is available on the NAHB Web site by clicking here.

Entries should be received by Nov. 18.

For more information, e-mail Niki Clark, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8061.
