Rebuilding Together Broward County

What Rebuilding Together Broward County does

Rebuilding Together Broward County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1988 as the Broward County affiliate of the national Rebuilding Together network (founded 1973). Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the organization delivers free critical home repairs to low-income homeowners who are elderly, veterans, or living with disabilities across Broward County. Its core operating framework is a 25-point Health and Safety Assessment that prioritizes repairs including plumbing, electrical, carpentry, accessibility modifications (grab bars, ramps), roofing, and appliance replacement. Since inception, the organization has repaired nearly 1,500 homes, impacted over 5,000 individuals, and delivered an estimated $8M+ in retail value of services based on volunteer labor and donated materials.

The organization's service delivery is organized around the [Re]Build Program, a three-pillar model comprising [Re]pairing Homes, [Re]vitalizing Communities (block-by-block neighborhood transformation), and [Re]building Lives (awareness and advocacy). Services are executed through a lean paid staff of 1-10 employees supplemented by 1,000+ annual volunteers recruited from corporate partner workforces (Home Depot Team Depot, FPL, Lowe's Heroes, Wells Fargo) and skilled trades labor. There is no proprietary technology platform; operational tools are limited to a Salesforce-based volunteer signup portal and a Zeffy donation processing system.

The revenue model is a diversified nonprofit funding stack consisting of four primary streams: individual donations (via the Zeffy online portal and [Re]Builder campaigns), government grants (Federal Older American's Act funds channeled through the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County), corporate sponsorships with tiered giving structures ($500 Friend to $10,000 Founder levels at events), and event fundraising anchored by the annual Black Dresses and Blueprints gala targeting $100,000 per event. The organization holds the 2025 Platinum Candid Seal of Transparency and 2022 Daily Points of Light Award, and has received national television exposure via The Weather Channel's Fast: Home Rescue series documenting hurricane relief work.
