Built Sets Sail for Homeless Youth

09 Dec 2025

For the past ten years, Built has proudly stood behind the Brisbane Charity Regatta, helping drive one of the Property Industry Foundation’s flagship fundraising events.

Now, in 2026, this long-standing relationship reaches new heights as Built comes on board as the Major Partner of the Sydney Charity Regatta.

On Friday, 13 March 2026, organisations and individuals from across the property and construction sector will gather with Built on Sydney’s spectacular harbour to sail, connect and contribute to the Property Industry Foundation’s mission of building homes, hope and brighter futures for vulnerable young Australians.

The support across two signature events of the Foundation demonstrates Built’s commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable and homeless youth.

Built has been a proud supporter of the Charity Regatta in Brisbane since 2016 and is now extending that commitment to the Sydney Charity Regatta. The company remains dedicated to creating meaningful change within the communities it serves, directing its efforts toward areas where genuine, measurable impact can be made.

Built works closely with grassroots organisations like Property Industry Foundation that support vulnerable young people, offering practical help through industry expertise, time and strong supply chain networks. Joining the Sydney Regatta as major partner is a natural progression of this long-standing commitment to community impact and collaboration.
“Built is committed to having real and meaningful impact in our communities by targeting issues closest to us. We have been long time supporters of the work the Property Industry Foundation does to make a significant and tangible difference to youth homelessness and are thrilled to be the Major Partner of The Sydney Charity Regatta,” says Andrew Phillips - General Manager, New Business NSW Construction.

Boats are being snapped up for the Sydney Charity Regatta, which sets sail on Friday 13 March 2026 at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. Hundreds of industry professionals will don their boat shoes for a day of networking, relaxed racing and vital fundraising for young people who desperately need support and a safe home.

Join Built and book you team or a spot on a racing yacht and make a real and lasting impact on youth homelessness together. Cruising Yacht Club of Australia on 13 March 2026.

I had the privilege of attending the 2025 Sydney Charity Regatta, hosted by the Property Industry Foundation as a supporting partner with DFP. Sailing alongside 40+ race yachts on Sydney Harbour was an unforgettable experience, made even more meaningful by sharing it with our incredible clients and the DFP team. More than just a race, this event brought together industry leaders to support a critical cause - helping homeless youth. It’s inspiring to see the property and finance community unite to make a tangible difference. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this incredible initiative!”
