Over Thanksgiving dinner one year, Ron and Rick Betenbough began discussing how to be good stewards of the money and success the Lord had bestowed on them and their homebuilding company. In December 1998, the fruits of that conversation became a realization when The Betenbough Charitable Foundation, Inc. was created.

Throughout the years, the company has transformed itself into an employee-owned organization with a shared vision to use the company’s profits to promote the Kingdom of God. With this change, The Betenbough Charitable Foundation was moved in-house and the Betenbough Homes Ministry Team was created. Today, the major shareholders and their spouses comprise the Betenbough Ministry Council, which meets year-round to review and evaluate all ministry gift requests.
