Empowering Future Builders

About Us

The She Built Foundation was created by Mollie Elkman, a 20-year veteran of the building and construction industry and Owner/President of Group Two, a marketing partner for many of America’s most successful builders. Elkman is the author of The House That She Built, a book inspired by a real house in Utah that was built intentionally to show that women can do every single job that goes into building a home. As we saw the impact of the book on young girls and their communities, we realized that there was an opportunity to create a charity to extend our reach and accelerate our impact.
