Build to Give Back: A Remodeler's Guide to Generosity06 Nov 202500:45:14

In this week's episode of Remodelers on the Rise, Kyle explores a powerful question for remodelers: how can generosity become a meaningful and intentional part of your business vision? He's joined by Matt Baehr, Executive Director of Homes for Hope, to share how microloans are transforming families and communities around the world by fueling real entrepreneurship. You'll hear inspiring stories — like a $50 welding loan that became a thriving homebuilding business, and 20 plastic chairs that launched a successful wedding company — and learn how remodelers can practically support this work. Kyle and Matt talk about dignity-focused giving, breaking cycles of poverty, and ways remodelers can involve their teams and trade partners in generosity that creates lasting impact.

Homes for HOPE partners with builders to fight global poverty through sustainable economic development. Funds raised from home builds support entrepreneurs with training and microloans, helping families break the cycle of poverty with dignity. Learn more at Homes for HOPE.
