Review for Fuller Center For Housing Inc, Americus, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This is one of the leanest and most effective organizations in the nonprofit world today. Its growth is phenomenal. Launched in 2005, it now has affiliates in over 62 U.S. locations and is building in 17 nations around the world. Most recently, it launched a campaign to build houses in Haiti for $3,000 each. The previous review was from an unhappy former employee who has her facts wrong. The organization has built and repaired over 500 homes around the world. The financials are available on the website and the staff salaries are among the most modest in the nonprofit housing industry. Its volunteers are among the most loyal and hard working among all charities. Join this effort, it will be well worth your time!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

In the homeowners who have had their lives changed who can now raiser their families in simple, decent, affordable and energy efficient houses.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Keep spreading the word.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The people. Rich and poor, black and white, US and international all finding common ground through projects that help people in need with a hand up instead of just a hand out.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Most of them are incredible. Occasionally, one comes along with their own agenda but that is few and far between. The staff and volunteers are why I choose to spend my time with The Fuller Center for Housing

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

build 3,333 homes in Haiti

Ways to make it better...

More people knew about The Fuller Center for Housing and more much needed work could be accomplished.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

It is still a relatively unknown organization. As soon as people learn of its story and get on a job site, they become supporters for life.

One thing I'd also say is that...

Please support The Fuller Center for Housing and share its story with your social network.
