Support Professional Development in the Home Building Industry

This Giving Tuesday, in addition to supporting the Home Building Industry Disaster Relief Fund, NAHB members can support professional development in the home building industry through the Home Builders Institute (HBI) and the National Housing Endowment (NHE).

This year, HBI launched its Blueprints for Tomorrow campaign, focused on creating lasting success for students entering the construction industry through the Student Success Fund. This fund provides critical help to students in our free training programs, particularly in carpentry, which is the foundation of all HBI programs. It supports essentials like work tools, transportation, and housing, while enhancing their training experience with classroom resources and site visits. By investing in the Student Success Fund, you help remove the barriers that can stand in the way of students’ success.

NHE invests in the education, training and research needed to support the residential construction industry through a series of scholarships and grants that help emerging residential construction professionals finish their education and engage with leadership in the Federation. Funds such as the Professional Women in Building/National Housing Endowment Scholarships and NHE NAHB Remodelers Leadership Program provide support for education, travel to NAHB meetings, and other programs for members of the Federation.

Learn more about these organizations, the programs they support and how to donate at hbi.org and nationalhousingendowment.org, respectively.
