We’re on a mission to end the global housing crisis. Not with handouts, but by helping families in emerging markets buy land with utilities and title, and actually own their homes. This isn’t just about shelter; it’s about building lasting wealth for generations in thriving communities.

Since 2015, we’ve raised over $100M in philanthropy and $15M+ in private investment. We strategically combine these resources to achieve outcomes that neither could accomplish alone. It’s how we actually make things happen.

As a full‑time Partner, Global Community (Senior Philanthropy Officer), you’ll be key to fueling our engine with philanthropy dollars.

Their money isn’t for a one‑off project; it covers our daily operations, R&D, and our core work helping communities get on their feet. Simply put, The Builders give us the breathing room to innovate, grow, and help more families truly own their future.
