Giving Back
The Home Builders Association Charitable Foundation (HBACF) has been a force of positive change in the Springfield community for years, driven by a deep commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. Our mission to promote development and charitable outreach in the building trades is fueled by a passion for building a better future together.
A portion of the funds raised are set aside to award the Matt Bailey HBACF Scholarship, named after an HBA member who has been an integral part of the success of both the HBA and HBACF. Students pursuing careers in the residential building industry are eligible to apply, and a minimum of two scholarships are awarded each year. By receiving this financial support, these deserving individuals can take a step toward turning their career dreams into reality.
Additionally, the HBACF designates funds to purchase and distribute hundreds of smoke detectors to local fire departments. Since 2011, more than 8,000 smoke alarms have been distributed, helping save lives and ensure the safety of families within our community.
The HBACF’s commitment to investing in and giving back to the community is a testament to our values and the spirit of the HBA of Greater Springfield. Through our continued efforts, the HBACF will undoubtedly make a lasting impact on the Springfield community.
