Home Builders Care Foundation
Building for Good
We build things to last, which is why we established the Home Builders Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit.
Our Mission
The Home Builders Care Foundation strives to support the community by contributing to housing-focused community service projects, providing scholarships for students pursuing a career related to the building industry, and providing funding for other industry related workforce development programs.
About Us
The Home Builders Care Foundation (HBCF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the philanthropic arm of the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire (HBASE). The Foundation supports charitable housing initiatives, education, scholarships, workforce development, and community service projects that improve lives and create opportunities throughout the Sioux Empire.
Working alongside industry professionals, educators, volunteers, and community partners, the Foundation helps promote careers in the skilled trades, supports hands-on learning opportunities, provides grants to schools for construction and trades-related programming, assists homeowners in need, and invests in initiatives that strengthen our communities. Through these efforts, HBCF is committed to making a lasting impact while helping develop the next generation of industry professionals.

Scholarships
We help lower the cost of education and conference travel expenses for students enrolled in building-related areas of study.
Educational Programs & Grants
Hands-on-training is the best way to learn. We help schools in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area create and sustain building-related educational programs.

Every year, during the Repair Affair community service initiative, our builders provide free accessibility repairs to applicants, including installation of grab bars, wheelchair ramps, and more.
