Through our C'ville Builds program, Building Goodness Foundation is able to serve 40 local partners in the Charlottesville and surrounding areas each year. That includes helping other non-profits, low-income homeowners, and small businesses with their construction needs! Through our connections with designers, builders, and suppliers, we are able to complete essential repairs and renovations that keep homeowners in their homes, increase nonprofits' capacities to serve, and keep small businesses' doors open. 

All of our local projects start with an initial site visit that is conducted with a BGF staff member and a skilled volunteer - which could be you! At the initial visit, we meet with the partner or homeowner to assess their needs and look over the site or building. We are seeking skilled builders who have an eye for detecting issues and finding solutions as we rely on our volunteers to help us determine project priorities and needs. Builders that can assess all aspects of a building are preferred, but builders with a specific specialty are welcome too!

Site visits usually take place within Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. They typically last half an hour to an hour. 

Please reach out to volunteer@buildinggoodness.org or call 434-973-0993 if you are interested in helping out!

Building Goodness Foundation (BGF) is a non-profit construction organization. We partner with the highest-quality non-profits to design, build, renovate and repair structures which increase our partner's capacity to do great work. Through initiatives like C'ville Builds or BGiA, we also assist local low-income homeowners with home repairs and renovations.

BGF needs skilled construction volunteers to help with our ongoing projects. BGF has a special need for individuals or companies who are willing to act as Volunteer Project Managers to help with projects of all sizes, from building a greenhouse for a local school to repairing a homeowner's deck to renovating a nonprofit's offices.

It was discovered that our van is missing the Catalytic Converter and exhausts pipe.  We are hoping a volunteer can supply the parts or help service this need.

The van had regularly transported members, but it will be used for food delivery in partnership with a local food bank should it be able to be fixed and pass inspection.

Van is a 1998 Ford Triton V8 passenger van.
