Building a cleaner, fairer economy.

BuildUS helps workers and communities maximize the potential of recent federal legislation so that together we can build a better economy for us all.

Healthier loved ones, cleaner air, lower bills, better jobs — it turns out, the economy we want is possible. Except now the real work begins. The American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act provide a historic opportunity to transform how our economy supports American workers, families, and the places they live. BuildUS is a philanthropic fund focused on implementing these landmark investments so that all communities — particularly those that too often get left behind — see and feel their benefits. 

“Workers and communities now have the opportunity to build an economy that works better for everyone.”

— Justin Maxson, Executive Director
