BX Foundation Donation

On your list for giving,
consider a tax-deductible gift with lasting impact


In this season of giving, one gift you can make that has lasting impact is to the Builders Exchange Foundation.

The Foundation – a 501(c)3, charitable organization – supports efforts to develop the current and future workforce in Central Ohio construction.  Donations, which are tax-deductible, go to efforts like the Builders Exchange Scholarship Program, which this year assisted 43 local students in construction-related careers.

“In today’s economy, student need is higher than ever,” said Dwight McCabe (The McCabe Companies), Foundation board president. 

Donors like the fact that their gifts “are donated locally and put to work locally,” he said.  In addition to scholarships, the Foundation has funded development of several management education programs aimed at employees of BX companies.

Member contributions to the Foundation helped launch the BX Rising Leaders Institute, a year-long program for young managers that is now in its fifth year.  And this year, the Foundation underwrote two education courses designed for the Exchange by Franklin University : Improving Your Managerial Effectiveness and Enhancing Your Professional Presence.

“We’re all about improving our workforce and building a better industry,” McCabe said, adding, “and the way we do it is from support by BX members.”

He stressed that the Foundation appreciates donations of all sizes.  “Last year, we received gifts from $25 and up – and we can use every dollar.”
