NAHB Awards to Recognize Philanthropic Work — Enter Now

To recognize the enormous philanthropic work of home builders associations and their members, NAHB and the National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of NAHB, are sponsoring two awards programs that honor the generosity of the home building industry:

  • The National Housing Endowment Home Builders Care Project of the Year Award is open to home builders associations and councils affiliated with NAHB. The annual program recognizes an outstanding community service project developed and implemented by a local or state HBA or council affiliated with NAHB. Winners will receive a $5,000 donation directed to the charity of their choice and be recognized at the International Builders’ Show.

The deadline for entries is Nov. 4.

To be considered for this 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

Entries are due by Nov. 18.

Complete award descriptions and entry forms for both competitions are available on the NAHB Web site at www.nahb.org.

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