Home Builders Foundation Fund

Foundation-LogoThe Home Builders Foundation Fund of Greater Kansas City was formed in 2002 as the charitable arm of the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City. It is supported through contributions from HBA members and other kind partners from the metropolitan area. The Fund is dedicated to advancing a range of charitable, educational and community causes that help address issues of housing affordability, job training, declining neighborhoods and related matters.

The Fund is maintained and invested through the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation that provides a range of services for many of the largest and most respected philanthropies and foundations in the community. The Home Builders Foundation determines and controls all gifting policies and procedures, solicitations of gifts, donations to qualified recipients and other management matters.

Thanks to the generosity and commitment of HBA members, affiliates and friends the Fund continues to thrive. Their ongoing support and commitment is crucial to providing funding for anticipated programs, projects and causes.
