Foundation Mission

The Home Builders & Remodelers Association Charitable Foundation was established, and recognized by the IRS, in 2010 as a 501(c)(3) charitable, non-profit organization and is dedicated to being the philanthropic arm of the Home Builders Association of Hartford County.

The Foundation’s mission is to highlight the commitment and generosity of HBRA members and the building industry by creating a better quality of life for residents in central Connecticut. This is done by supporting community organizations, contributing to community service projects, and providing scholarships for students and member employees pursuing a education and a career related to the building industry.

Throughout the HBRA’s more than seventy year history, our members have been very generous with their support of charitable organizations that help those less fortunate. Sometimes this support has been through direct financial contributions, but often it has been through the donation of labor, materials, professional expertise and services.
