Richardson Family Foundation

Beyond Building Homes

Our community involvement extends beyond building homes. We believe that true success extends beyond business, and we are driven to make a positive impact in the communities we build. Because of this belief, the Richardson Family Foundation was created in 2021 in partnership with the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia. We work to support local philanthropic causes such as donations to local schools and athletic teams, participation in local events, collecting food for the local co-op, and more. We also provide an RHG Scholarship Fund that awards scholarships to local students enrolled in technical or trade programs. We aspire to create lasting change and foster a stronger, more vibrant community in Gwinnett for everyone to enjoy.

History of the Richardson Family Foundation

In 2021, we began looking for a way to make a lasting impact on the local community by creating a legacy of giving for our children and future generations of our family. The Richardson Family Foundation was started with the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia to allow our family the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported our business, been our home, and been part of our lives for the last 50 years.

RHG Workforce Scholarship

The RHG Workforce Scholarship will award up to two $1000 one-time scholarships annually in the Spring Semester.
