These "take charge" traits also apply to Habitat homebuyers. That's what John Bergstrom, a co-founder of Entrepreneurs House, noticed when he first volunteered with Habitat. And that's how "E-House", as we affectionately call it, got started in 2003.

Learn About Entrepreneurs House

Twin Cities Entrepreneurs House is a community service project where mid-tier companies make a big difference. With 40 or 50 businesses joining together, we can build a whole Habitat house for a family - for a lasting social contribution.

Project Details

An all-volunteer steering committee of Twin Cities entrepreneurial leaders recruits companies, raises funds, and schedules volunteers.

Volunteer

We involve 600+ employees from an average of 50 companies and aim to raise $150,000 each year. Volunteering companies bring a team to work on the house for one full day (8:30AM to 3:30PM).

History

The Entrepreneurs House project has been a growing success since 2003.  That first year, we started with 125 volunteers who committed to 10 days. Since then, involvement has increased five-fold, as more and more companies have blended their financial support and volunteer labor to build one Entrepreneurs House each year.

A decade after Entrepreneurs House laid its foundation in the Twin Cities, its supporters have raised over $1 million to support local affordable housing.

Late E-House Co-Founder Wayne Atkins' Legacy

Wayne’s career was spent working with entrepreneurial businesses and investment firms; companies that were too small to sponsor a Habitat home on their own. That’s where Wayne and his good friend, John Bergstrom, got the idea for Entrepreneurs House.
