Join the 2026 Team ANNimal!
Be sure to scroll though the pictures at the top to see firsthand what the Fuller Center for Housing is all about. What stands out to me are all the smiles. The joy from our recipients and our volunteers is what excites me the most about Fuller. Keeping people safely in their homes, even if they are in the condition of the one home pictured above, is what we are all about. Our volunteers love to serve and do such a great job with the work we accomplish and most importantly encourage the recipient families and give them hope that they are not alone. We are making a difference one family at a time.
We just completed our 6th year at Fuller in Utah County and have worked on over 150 homes during that time. We repair homes using volunteers in partnership with families, who help with the work and pay it forward using a no-profit, no-interest loan that gets repaid to help more families. The ministry wouldn’t be happening if we didn’t have our donors. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.
The Fuller Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian organization that believes everyone in the world deserves the opportunity to have a decent home in which to live. Millard and Linda Fuller were self-made millionaires who gave away their fortune in 1969 to follow God's leading. They lived the rest of their lives on humble means and dedicated themselves to providing decent housing to over a million people in 100 countries around the world, culminating in their founding of the Fuller Center in 2005.
The Fuller Center is known for maximizing donations by putting as much of the funds towards the work as possible. Their independent audit estimated that 92% of the funds go directly to program expenses, with only 8% to administrative and fundraising costs. This is a MUCH higher percentage to program than most groups given that the industry standard is 65% to program. The organization is also rated GuideStar Platinum , the charity evaluator's highest certification.
This year there is a Fuller bike ride coming through Utah and as part of it, like all rides, they will be stopping to volunteer with Fuller Center projects along the way. We are excited to have them help us with a work day in June. I will be joining them for a few days. If you want to join me, let me know or check out more about the event itself at fullercenterbikeadventure.org The rides are always a good challenge and make a difference with a strong community of volunteers on bikes. During the ride we live very simply, sleeping on the floors of gracious and generous church hosts, resulting in only about 2-3% of the funds raised helping to cover Bike Adventure expenses on the road.

EVERY donation, large or small, helps. Together, as a team, we can help meet the urgent need for safe and affordable housing. Let’s go help lots of folks in need and work together to end poverty housing! We truly cannot do it without you.
