Homes for Hope with Matthew Baehr

A Home for HOPE is a home built to fight global poverty.
Homes for HOPE works in partnership with the North American building industry to accelerate the end of global poverty in all its forms, for the glory of God.
To fight global poverty, a builder will identify a job to be a Homes for HOPE project. Trade partners, suppliers, and service providers choose to join the project by donating or discounting their time, talent, and resources, which maximizes the profit margin without compromising quality. Once the project is completed, the resulting donation is used to provide training, savings services, and loans to men and women living in poverty, gradually breaking the cycle of poverty.

Matt Baehr brings over 17 years of experience in the Non-Profit sector to his role as Executive Director of Homes for HOPE. He has a wealth of experience in fundraising, public speaking, event planning, writing, strategic planning, and leadership. Matt is an experienced networker who strives to build partnerships that glorify God. He loves people and making strategic connections that foster transcendent impact. What matters most to him is being an ambassador for Jesus Christ and to be used by God to make Jesus known. John 3:30
