LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (September 22, 2025) – The Lakewood Ranch Community Foundation (LWRCF) recently held its Builders Give Back program annual meeting, sponsored by Williams Parker-Waterside and hosted by Good Liquid Brewing in Waterside. The program, which has raised $118,800 for LWRCF since its inception in 2023, is an initiative of LWRCF, Lakewood Ranch Communities, and 11 of the community’s premier builders.  

For every new home closing, the participating builders – Anchor Builders, AR Homes, Homes by Towne, John Cannon Homes, Lee Wetherington Homes, Lennar, M/I Homes, Neal Communities, Neal Signature Homes, Pulte Homes, and Stock – make a donation to LWRCF in the new homeowner’s name. Lakewood Ranch Communities, the developer of Lakewood Ranch, matches each contribution.

With a “live here, give here” approach, the work of LWRCF is to support the nonprofits making an impact in Lakewood Ranch, as well as in Manatee and Sarasota counties. The Builders Give Back program allows new residents to experience the giving culture of Lakewood Ranch right when they move in.
