Opportunities to Give
The National
Housing Endowment is the philanthropic arm of NAHB and is a
charitable non-profit organization funded by private contributions
from individuals, corporations and other organizations. Your
donations enable the Endowment to help the industry to develop more
effective approaches to home building, enhance the ways we educate
and train future generations of leaders in residential construction
and increase the body of knowledge on housing issues. We will
do so by supporting innovative and effective programs that further
Education, Training and Research.
When
you support the Endowment with your tax-deductible gift, you are
investing in the future of a vibrant home building industry.
Gifts to the Endowment will support our newest initiative, The
Homebuilding Education Leadership Program (HELP), grants to fund
training initiatives at the local and national levels, and research
to encourage innovation.

traditional giving. These benefits usually involve a lifetime
income and/or significant tax reductions for you and your heirs.
The National Housing Endowment offers donors the opportunity to
participate in several planned giving programs:
