Rebuilding Together Fox Valley

What Rebuilding Together Fox Valley does

Rebuilding Together Fox Valley (RTFV) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Neenah, Wisconsin, that delivers free home modifications and repairs to income-qualified homeowners and nonprofit facilities across six counties in Northeast Wisconsin (Brown, Calumet, Fond du Lac, Outagamie, Waupaca, and Winnebago). Founded in 2001 as a local affiliate of the national Rebuilding Together movement (established 1973), the organization prioritizes older adults, people living with disabilities, low-income families, and veterans, addressing fall risks, accessibility barriers, and unsafe housing conditions. Its core offering is the Safe & Healthy Housing Program, which uses a HUD-developed 25-point Health and Safety Checklist to assess homes and identify hazards, supplemented by a dedicated Fall Prevention Initiative that installs grab bars, handrails, night lights, and tub-transfer benches. Annual flagship impact is concentrated around National Rebuilding Day, with separate Fox Cities and Green Bay events bringing together nearly 200 volunteers, and the organization also runs a Community Repair Volunteer Program with construction training and non-construction volunteer roles.

RTFV operates on a community-led, volunteer-driven go-to-market model. Services are provided at no cost to homeowners meeting HUD-established financial qualifications; applications are accepted through a Salesforce portal and assessments are performed by certified staff including a CAPS-credentialed (Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist) team member. The organization is supported entirely by charitable contributions, with revenue streams spanning individual donations, capacity-building grants from the national Rebuilding Together office (including a $40,000 grant for organizational infrastructure from August 2026 to May 2027), corporate sponsorships, and fundraising events such as the annual Island Escape Razzle. Long-tenured corporate partners include US Venture (18 years), Fox Communities Credit Union, and WOW Logistics, which sponsor projects and supply volunteer teams throughout the year. The model is operationally lean with 7 total staff (4 core paid employees plus a 5-member Board of Directors), and in 2025 it delivered 735 home modifications and repairs with 128 volunteers contributing 1,105 hours of donated labor valued at over $56,000, following 1,067 modifications and 171 unique homes served in 2024. The organization is currently in a leadership transition with Vaya Lauren Jones as Executive Director and is expanding its geographic footprint into Green Bay in 2026.

Product overview

Rebuilding Together Fox Valley operates as a single unified nonprofit service organization rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.

The organization's largest annual event is National Rebuilding Day, with separate Fox Cities and Green Bay celebrations bringing together nearly 200 volunteers. Individual Projects enable corporate sponsors to fund specific home repairs, while Community Revitalization extends services to nonprofit organizations. Supporting programs include a Community Repair Volunteer Program with construction training and Non-Construction Volunteer Roles for administrative support.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Habitat for Humanity International: Largest U.S. nonprofit focused on affordable housing, with a volunteer-driven construction model serving low-income households. Broader scope (new builds, rehabs, advocacy, ReStore retail) but overlaps with RTFV on the volunteer mobilization, sponsor engagement, and healthy-housing missions.

Direct peers

• Rebuilding Together (National Office): National parent/affiliate organization founded in 1973 that licenses the Rebuilding Together brand, runs the National Rebuilding Day program, and channels capacity-building grants to local affiliates including RTFV. Operates the identical volunteer-driven home-repair model at national scale.
• Rebuilding Together Boston: Sister Rebuilding Together affiliate operating the same volunteer-driven home-repair and aging-in-place modification model in a different metropolitan market. Useful benchmark for affiliate-scale unit economics and sponsor development.

Regional players

• Habitat for Humanity Fox Valley: Direct regional peer in the same Northeast Wisconsin geography, also mobilizing volunteers and corporate sponsors to deliver affordable housing outcomes to low-income households. Closest comparable local-affiliate footprint.
• Meals on Wheels of Eastern Wisconsin: Regional nonprofit serving the same six-county Northeast Wisconsin geography with a comparable elderly-services mission, volunteer-based delivery model, and reliance on donations, grants, and corporate sponsorship. Not a direct competitor but operates in the same social-services ecosystem with overlapping donor and volunteer pools.

Emerging players

• National Aging in Place Council: Membership organization connecting seniors and families with local aging-in-place service providers, including home modification specialists. Comparable focus on fall prevention and accessibility retrofits, with a referral network rather than direct service delivery.
• Aging in Place Foundation: Nonprofit that promotes aging-in-place through home modifications, education, and community partnerships. Comparable mission overlap on accessibility retrofits and CAPS-aligned assessment methodology, though operating nationally rather than at single-chapter scale.

Others

• Christmas in April / Rebuilding Day (Original): Historical origin point of the Rebuilding Together movement (1973, Midland TX); relevant as the conceptual ancestor and still nested within the Rebuilding Together national network alongside RTFV.
