““Thank you so much for such a wonderful and charitable use for your Mother’s legacy! ...Thank you again for such an innovative and fantastic approach to building our community and charities.””

“Martha Ann and I were approached regarding the purchase of our home by the agent of Elizabeth Hazard through our agent Judy Tarleton. It was evident to me from the beginning that Ms Hazard did not intend to use the house for personal occupation, but that in no way was reflected by her personal involvement and interest in the transaction. The sale was completed in an exceptional manner and with all parties’ needs given careful attention. After Elizabeth updated parts of the house and resold it for Building Charities, she provided a party announcing various gifts that would be received by local charities through the proceeds from the sale of the house. The party was a wonderful affair that showed the generous heart behind her conception of Building Charities.

Martha Ann and I happily recommend that Elizabeth or Building Charities be contacted if you sell your home.”

“I was completely blown away at your check presentation ceremony when I saw how many great organizations are getting to share in the upside from your industry disrupting business model. You are shaking things up in a great way (just as we are trying to do)…
”

“Building Charities is brilliant in concept and excellent in execution… Keep up the good works!
”

“I am so overwhelmed by your extraordinary gift that I’m not sure how to express my gratitude.

““Kristopher King trumpeted Hazard’s work during the organization’s annual meeting, noting that the society “couldn’t have a more perfect partner. It is not flipping houses. It’s socially conscious flipping… and contribute (ing) to healthy neighborhoods”…. Yet another element of Building Charities, King noted was its celebration. “It brought local non profits together. We are striving for greater collaboration, which has not been a strength of our community. If our donors are being collaborative, it will only mean we do better at cooperating, as well.”

“I really enjoy working with Building Charities. I have spent most of my life giving back and the concept of Building Charities takes this idea to a new level. As a Realtor, I am privileged to represent Building Charities in purchasing and selling of historic properties in beautiful Charleston SC. From start to finish of each property project it is a pleasure because of the people involved and the importance of the historic properties and their restoration.”

“When I first learned of Building Charities and how Elizabeth was honoring the memory of her mother I was immediately drawn to working with her.  I’m an Interior Designer & Stager and I also work as a fundraiser for the Medical University of South Carolina and her concept spoke to me on both fronts... it seemed to be the perfect union of two of my passions: design and fundraising.  Through creating beautiful spaces Elizabeth & Building Charities are able to donate large gifts to local non-profits, I jumped at a chance to be involved and signed on to help stage some of their current projects.  Elizabeth and her team adapt to new challenges throughout the renovation process, a vital skill in this business. What a fantastic organization, I feel privileged to have worked with them.

“I have had the distinct honor and pleasure of working with an incredible organization, Building Charities, as its real estate attorney. I first met the organization’s founder, Elizabeth Hazard, here in Charleston and immediately fell in love with her vision. In fact, that is what most impressed me at our initial meeting: she had a complete vision for what she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it. She didn’t just come to the table with a vague notion of giving back to the community (though that was certainly at the heart of her plan). She had a detailed strategy that would enable her to beautifully transform historic homes here in Charleston while simultaneously donating to numerous charities from animal protection societies to local schools. Her determination to succeed and urgent need to give back are contagious and I have found myself a better person having worked with her and her wonderful organization.
