Investing in programs: Philanthropic partnerships

Unlike traditional charitable giving, the Build Beyond initiative invites visionary philanthropists to become long-term partners in change, moving beyond one-off project funding to invest in multi-year (3-5 years), program or country-level impact. Every dollar is multiplied fourfold through corporate co-funding, dramatically expanding scale and sustainability.

Our Philanthropic Partnership Framework is flexible and personalized. We work closely with each philanthropist and direct funding to initiatives that reflect their personal purpose and Habitat for Humanity’s expertise. Customized annual reports highlight real impact: not just in homes built, but in lives transformed.
