REBUILDING MACON INC

What REBUILDING MACON INC does

Rebuilding Macon, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1992 and headquartered at 3864 Lake St., Macon, Georgia. It provides free home repair, accessibility modification, and rehabilitation services to low-income elderly (60+) and disabled homeowners in Macon-Bibb County who meet HUD low-income criteria, have owned and occupied their home for two or more years, and intend to remain for at least two more. Services include wheelchair ramp construction, roof repairs, leak fixes, painting, and broader safety, comfort, energy-efficiency, and independence-preservation interventions. The organization does not sell technology products; service delivery is executed through volunteer crews coordinated by a small paid staff (Executive Director Derek Thomas and Construction Manager Tom Birmingham) and supported by a 13-member board of directors.

The organization's business model is purely contribution-based. Revenue is generated through individual donations, a three-tier corporate sponsorship program (Community-Wide Sponsor at $5,000, Neighborhood Sponsor at $2,500, Home Sponsor at $1,000), a recurring membership program, and annual fundraising events including Macon's Cookin' and the Playhouse Raffle. The flagship Macon Rebuilds Day is held annually on the last Saturday of April as a community-wide volunteer work event. Major institutional supporters include Macon-Bibb County, the Community Foundation of Central Georgia, the Peyton Anderson Foundation, the E.J. Grassmann Trust, GEICO, Georgia Power, Norfolk Southern, Atrium Health Navicent, the Hatcher Foundation, the Abdelhadi Foundation, and the JET Foundation. In the most recent reported year the organization rehabilitated more than 260 homes, completed 250+ projects, and engaged 3,000+ volunteers.

The organization traces its lineage to the 1973 Christmas in April movement in Midland, Texas, which led to a local Macon affiliate under the national Rebuilding Together network. In May 2008 the local board voted to become an independent 501(c)(3) and rebranded as Rebuilding Macon, Inc., ending affiliation with the national organization due to a shift in mission and rising affiliate fees. Since independence it has grown to become central Georgia's largest nonprofit organization providing free home rehabilitation services.
