Our Story

Message from Our Founder

I have always felt that helping others is a privilege and an honour, a belief strengthened by my faith and my experience as a father of three beautiful children. Prior to starting Build Now, I was involved in a number of charity projects that required building expertise. The practical results of this were clearly evident, with a huge improvement in the quality of life for the family. However, the real reward was the happiness and joy that we were able to bring to genuine people who weren’t as lucky as some of us. Their smiles will stay with me forever.

As I explored avenues to continue bringing this joy to families, I encountered many protocols, red tape and overheads, which seemed at odds with my ‘hands on’, ‘doer’ ethos. In response, The Build Now Foundation began to evolve. We are driven by a belief in enriching the lives of those around us more than our own, aiming to multiply human happiness many times over.

Our Goals for the Future

The Build Now Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to directing every contribution, whether financial, materials, resources, time, or expertise towards positive outcomes for WA children and families in need. Every cent is invested into helping the community.

We have already completed many projects and continue to seek families in need of assistance, with the Telethon Institute playing a key role in this process by identifying those most in need.

Our vision is to support as many WA children and families as possible, with a long-term plan to build schools and housing in third-world countries, aiming to make the world a better place, one project at a time.

Kicking Goals with the North Beach Football Club

The Build Now Foundation is incredibly proud to be the major sponsor of the North Beach Football Club's integrated team. This team is truly special within the entire competition.

It is composed of the most amazing personalities, individuals, and families of kids who have faced and overcome numerous life challenges. They come together as a community and share a love for football. Seeing the smiles on their faces, their enthusiasm, and how much this experience means to them is the most encouraging thing I have ever been a part of.
