Give like you've never given before.
Almost every day companies and individuals across Lancaster County
are asked to support a variety of deserving, charitable causes. Undoubtedly
you answer many such calls for help. With the Lancaster Building Industry
Foundation, you have a special way to make an impact on your community.
In 1993, the members of the Building
Industry Association of Lancaster created a foundation by which to make
charitable contributions in the areas of education, research and affordable
housing. As part of the Lancaster Building Industry Foundation, we also
established an endowment fund to ensure future giving. The Foundation
opens many new doors:
- By joining together, you are able
to make a significant difference in the community...much larger than
you could do separately.
-By focusing the Foundation's
gifts on education relating to the building trades, construction
industry research and affordable housing, you can give back in very
specific ways.
-Only through the Lancaster
Building Industry Foundation are you able to help underwrite scholarships
for individuals studying in areas related to the building industry. The
Foundation also provides grants to the Lancaster County Career &
Technology Center, the Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology and other
institutions educating these students. Not only does this benefit the
students themselves, but it also helps ensure that the industry has a
steady stream of well-trained employees.
The
Lancaster
Building
Industry
Foundation
also
is
committed
to
providing
grants
to
non-profit
organizations
making
the
American
dream
of
home
ownership
a
reality.
Through
the
work
of
these
caring
groups
-
and
the
support
by
the
Foundation
of
their
missions
-
many
Lancaster
countians,
who
could
not
otherwise
afford
to,
are now owning homes.
We're making a difference.
Together, we can make a bigger
difference in this community. By unifying our talents and our resources,
we can tackle bigger challenges, make a bigger impact. The Lancaster
Building Industry Foundation gives you that opportunity.
Join the building industry's efforts to offer better educational
opportunities, improve housing and advance building trade technologies.
An investment in our community is truly an investment on behalf of our
own families and businesses!
