Creative Homes Joins National Pledge to Raise $10 Million for Local Communities

Creative Homes a Minnesota/Western WI based homebuilder and member of the National Association of Home Builders, has joined ten fellow homebuilding companies in pledging to raise $10 million over the next two years for nonprofit organizations working to strengthen communities, expand housing access, and improve lives across America.

The initiative, called the Builder Giving Challenge, unites seventeen homebuilders – together producing over 5,000 homes annually across the United States – around a shared commitment to invest in the communities where they build and live. Creative Homes will direct its efforts toward nonprofit programs here in Minnesota/Western WI, reporting contributions twice annually across three measures: dollars raised, volunteer hours logged, and local housing initiatives supported. "We have always believed that building a home is about more than the structure itself. It is about the neighborhood, the schools, the families, and the future of Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.” said Nick Hackworthy, President of Creative Homes. “We are proud to stand alongside fellow homebuilders in pledging that our industry's commitment to this community does not stop at the front door."

The pledge reflects a broader truth about the homebuilding industry that often goes unrecognized: stable, attainable housing supports local businesses, strengthens schools, and anchors neighborhoods for generations. Homebuilders, who are among the most active employers and community investors at the local level, are using the Builder Giving Challenge to make that commitment visible and measurable.

"Homebuilders take enormous pride in giving back to the communities they serve," said Jim Tobin, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders. “Every day, across this country, our members are not just building homes. They are coaching youth sports, volunteering at food banks, funding local nonprofits, and investing in our neighborhoods.”

Progress toward the $10 million national goal will be reported publicly and regularly, ensuring that the collective impact of the industry is transparent and celebrated as it grows.
