In this season of giving, one gift you can make that has lasting impact is to the Builders Exchange Foundation.
The Foundation – a 501(c)3, charitable organization – supports endeavors to develop the current and future workforce in central Ohio construction. Contributions, which are tax-deductible, go to efforts like the Builders Exchange Scholarship Program.
This year, 48 area high school seniors and current college students received a combined record total of $110,000 in scholarships from the Builders Exchange Foundation.
“Both two- and four-year college tuition is expensive and student debt continues to rise, so student financial need is higher than ever,” said Mark Muter (Settle-Muter Electric, Ltd.), Foundation board president.
“Over the Foundation’s 20-year history, more than $1.5 million has already been distributed, impacting countless individuals in the community,” said Muter.
Contributions of all sizes to the Foundation are appreciated! Every year, the fund receives gifts from $25 and up – and every dollar is put to good use to impact the future of the commercial construction industry.
Thanks to generous donations from central Ohio industry leaders, the Foundation is able to touch lives in the following areas:
