Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte

What Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte does

Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte (RTGC) is a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2010 that provides no-cost critical home repairs and accessibility modifications to low-income homeowners across the Greater Charlotte region, spanning five counties including Mecklenburg and Cabarrus. Its core service offering covers roof replacement, structural repairs, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and accessibility modifications (ramps, grab bars), executed through staff, corporate volunteers, and a contractor network. The organization served families with an average household income of $31,970 in FY 2023-24, completing 42 projects that year and reporting a run-rate of 60+ projects annually.

RTGC's programmatic portfolio is built around five interlocking programs: the Building a Healthy Neighborhood (BaHN) initiative for neighborhood-scale revitalization; the [Re]Build Center Powered by Lowe's for preventive maintenance education; [Re]Build & [Re]Claim home maintenance workshops (grounded in the 11 Principles of a Healthy Home and 25 Safe and Healthy Priorities); the She Builds program for women-headed households and women-focused community spaces; and the Rise to [Re]Build annual fundraising event launched in 2025. Its underlying methodology is the Safe and Healthy Housing Model — a research-based framework that addresses 25 specific safety and health hazards across eight principles.

The revenue model is entirely donation-based: individual donations (via BetterWorld and monthly giving), corporate sponsorships (Lowe's, Coca-Cola Consolidated, Ally Financial, Red Ventures, et al.), foundation grants (Leon Levine Foundation $150K over 2025-2027; Merancas Foundation $75K in 2025), government grants, event fundraising (Rise to [Re]Build, She Builds, [Re]Build the Roost), and legacy gifts. Go-to-market is community-led: RTGC partners with trusted local leaders, United Neighborhoods (United Way), community development corporations, and neighborhood associations to identify and refer qualifying homeowners through door-to-door outreach and application intake. The organization is part of the 76-affiliate Rebuilding Together national network, operates from a relocated Charlotte HQ as of July 2025, and is led by Executive Director Beth Morrison-North with a 1–10 person staff.

Scale indicators12 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Rebuilding Together (National): The national parent network of which RTGC is one of 76 affiliates. Operates the same Safe and Healthy Housing model and provides training, brand, and federal-grant access — directly comparable in mission and operating model but at national scale.
• Charlotte Mecklenburg Housing Partnership: Large Charlotte nonprofit developer and service provider operating multifamily affordable rentals and supportive housing programs. Comparable as a Charlotte housing-stability nonprofit, but oriented toward development rather than repair.

Emerging players

• Beds for Kids: Charlotte-based nonprofit focused on addressing child poverty through stable housing, including furniture provision and home-makeover programming. Overlaps in Charlotte geography and low-income homeowner-family focus.

Regional players

• Rebuilding Together of the Triangle: A fellow Rebuilding Together affiliate serving the Raleigh-Durham Triangle region of North Carolina. Identical operating model, mission, and Safe and Healthy Housing framework, but operates in a different NC geography than RTGC.

Direct peers

• Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region: Charlotte-based nonprofit focused on housing stability for low-income families, including home repairs, rehabs, and affordable homeownership. Most directly comparable to RTGC in geography, mission, and homeowner-segment focus, though Habitat emphasizes new build/sweat-equity alongside repairs.
• Crisis Assistance Ministry: Charlotte-based anti-poverty nonprofit providing emergency assistance including utility assistance, rent help, clothing, and household goods to low-income families in Mecklenburg County. Comparable Charlotte audience and donor ecosystem.
• Roof Above: Charlotte-based nonprofit delivering housing services to people experiencing homelessness and housing instability, including emergency shelter, supportive housing, and housing repair. Overlapping in Charlotte geography and vulnerable homeowner/client focus.

Others

• National Center for Healthy Housing: National nonprofit that develops research, policy, and best practices for healthy, safe homes — including the frameworks RTGC draws on for its Safe and Healthy Housing Model. Comparable in domain expertise on residential health hazards.
