The Hearthstone Builder Humanitarian Award is a celebration of the philanthropic nature of the home building community. Each year, winners receive awards to make contributions to the charities that they support. These awards are made through a donor advised fund created in each winner’s name at the Homebuilding Community Foundation.

Now in its 9th year, the Hearthstone Builder Humanitarian Award has given over $1 million dollars in to winners for distribution to their favorite charities. The 2008 event is February 14th in Orlando, Florida.
