ITEM  1.  THE  PLAN  INFORMATION.

THE  COMPANY

     HouseRaising  has its principal executive offices at 4801 East Independence
Boulevard, Suite 201, Charlotte, North Carolina  28212. HouseRaising's telephone
number  is  (704)  532-2121.

PURPOSE

     HouseRaising  will  issue  common  stock to employees, directors, officers,
consultants, advisors and other persons associated with HouseRaising pursuant to
the  Stock  Plan,  which  has  been  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of
HouseRaising.  The  Stock  Plan  is  intended  to  provide  a  method  whereby
HouseRaising  may  be  stimulated  by the personal involvement of its employees,
directors,  officers,  consultants, advisors and other persons in HouseRaising's
business  and future prosperity, thereby advancing the interests of HouseRaising
and  all of its shareholders. A copy of the Stock Plan has been filed as Exhibit
10.1  to  this  registration  statement.

COMMON  STOCK

     The  Board  has  authorized  the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the common
stock  to  certain  of  the  above-mentioned  persons upon effectiveness of this
registration  statement.

NO  RESTRICTIONS  ON  TRANSFER

     Recipients  of shares of common stock will become the record and beneficial
owner  of the shares of common stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled
to  all  of  the  rights  of  ownership,  including the right to vote any shares
awarded  and  to  receive  ordinary  cash  dividends  on  the  common  stock.

TAX  TREATMENT  TO  THE  RECIPIENTS

     The  common  stock  is  not  qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue  Code.  A  recipient, therefore, will be required for federal income tax
purposes  to  recognize  compensation during the taxable year of issuance unless
the  shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, absent
a  specific  contractual  provision  to the contrary, the recipient will receive
compensation  taxable  at  ordinary  rates equal to the fair market value of the
shares  on  the  date  of  receipt  since  there  will be no substantial risk of
forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. Each recipient is urged to consult
his  tax  advisors  on  this  matter.

TAX  TREATMENT  TO  THE  COMPANY

     The amount of income recognized by a recipient hereunder in accordance with
the  foregoing  discussion  will be a tax deductible expense by HouseRaising for
federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of HouseRaising during which the
recipient  recognizes  income.

RESTRICTIONS  ON  RESALE

     In  the  event  that an affiliate of HouseRaising acquires shares of common
stock  hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act.  Further,  in  the  event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has
sold  or  sells  any  shares  of  common  stock  in  the six months preceding or
following  the  receipt of shares hereunder, any so called "profit", as computed
under  Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, would be required to be disgorged from
the  recipient  to HouseRaising  Services rendered have been recognized as valid
consideration  for  the  "purchase"  of  shares  in connection with the "profit"
computation  under  Section  16(b) of the Exchange Act.  HouseRaising has agreed
that  for the purpose of any "profit" computation under Section 16(b), the price
paid for the common stock issued to affiliates is equal to the value of services
rendered.  Shares  of  common  stock  acquired  hereunder  by persons other than
affiliates  are  not  subject  to  Section  16(b)  of  the  Exchange  Act.

ITEM  2.  REGISTRANT  INFORMATION  AND  EMPLOYEE  PLAN  ANNUAL  INFORMATION

     A  copy  of  any document or part thereof incorporated by reference in this
registration  statement  but  not delivered with this prospectus or any document
required  to  be delivered pursuant to Rule 428(b) under the Securities Act will

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


ITEM  3.  INCORPORATION  OF  DOCUMENTS  BY  REFERENCE.

     The  following  documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the  "Commission")  by  HouseRaising,  a  North  Carolina  corporation  (the
"Company"),  are  incorporated  herein  by  reference:

a.   The  Company's  latest  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-KSB for the year ended
     December  31,  2003,  filed  with  the  Securities and Exchange Commission;

b.   The  reports of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
     Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the
     year  ended  December  31,  2003;  and

c.   All  other  documents  filed  by  the  Company  after  the  date  of  this
     registration  statement  pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this
     registration  statement  which  de-registers  all securities then remaining
     unsold,  shall  be  deemed  to  be  incorporated  by  reference  in  this
     registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such
     documents.

ITEM  4.  DESCRIPTION  OF  SECURITIES.

     Not  applicable.

ITEM  5.  INTERESTS  OF  NAMED  EXPERTS  AND  COUNSEL.

     The  financial  statements of HouseRaising are incorporated by reference in
this  prospectus  as  of  and for the year ended December 31, 2003 and have been
audited  by  Perrella  &  Associates,  P.A.,  independent  certified  public
accountants,  as set forth in their report incorporated herein by reference, and
are  incorporated  herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts
in  auditing  and  accounting.

     The  Law  Offices  of Harold H. Martin, P.A. has rendered an opinion on the
validity of the securities being registered. Neither Mr. Martin nor the law firm
is  an  affiliate  of  HouseRaising

ITEM  6.  INDEMNIFICATION  OF  OFFICERS,  DIRECTORS,  EMPLOYEES  AND  AGENTS.

     Under  North  Carolina  law,  a  corporation  may  indemnify its directors,
officers,  employees  and  agents  under  certain  circumstances,  including
indemnification  of  such  persons against liability under the Securities Act of
1933,  as  amended.  Those  circumstances  include  that  a  director,  officer,
employee  or  agent  may  be indemnified if the person conducted himself in good
faith  and  he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of
the corporation. A true and correct copy of Section 55-8-51 of Chapter 55 of the
North  Carolina  General  Statutes,  also  known  as the North Carolina Business
Corporation  Act,  that  addresses  indemnification  of  directors,  officers,
employees  and  agents,  is  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  99.1.

     The  bylaws  of  HouseRaising  do  not  provide  for indemnification of its
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by law.
The  Board  of  Directors  of HouseRaising may amend its bylaws in the future to
provide  for  such indemnification. The corporation also may maintain insurance,
at  its expense, to protect itself and all officers and directors against fines,
liabilities,  costs, and expenses, whether or not the corporation would have the
legal  power  to indemnify them directly against such liability. The corporation
currently  does  not  have  any  such  insurance.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling an issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Commission is that such
indemnification  is  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933  and  is  therefore  unenforceable.

     The  effect  of these provisions may be to limit the rights of HouseRaising
and  its  stockholders  (through  stockholders'  derivative  suits  on behalf of
HouseRaising)  to  recover  monetary damages and expenses against a director for
breach  of  fiduciary  duty.

ITEM  7.  EXEMPTION  FROM  REGISTRATION  CLAIMED.

     Not  applicable.

ItEM  8.  EXHIBITS.

(a)  The  following  exhibits  are  filed as part of this registration statement
     pursuant  to  Item  601  of  the  Regulation  S-K  and  are  specifically
     incorporated  herein  by  reference:

                 addressing indemnification.


ITEM  9.  UNDERTAKINGS.     The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes:

(1)  To  file,  during  any  period  in  which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective  amendment  to  this  registration  statement  to:

(i)     include  any  prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;

(ii)     reflect  in  the  prospectus  any  facts  or  events  arising after the
effective  date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  represents a
fundamental  change  in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii)     include  any  material  information  with  respect  to  the  plan  of
distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in  this registration statement or any
material  change  to  such  information  in  this  registration  statement.
Provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the
information  required  to  be  included  in  a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs  is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
section  13  or  section  15(d)  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated  by  reference  in  the  registration  statement.

(2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  pursuant  to the
     Securities  Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
     new  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
     the  offering of such securities offered at that time shall be deemed to be
     the  initial  bona  fide  offering  thereof.

(3)  To  remove  from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
     the  securities  being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the  offering.

(4)  To  deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
     whom  the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
     holders  that  is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
     pursuant  to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under
     the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934;  and,  where  interim  financial
     information  required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not
     set  forth  in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each
     person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report
     that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide
     such  interim  financial  information.

(5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons  of
     registrant  pursuant  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, registrant
     has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of  the Securities and Exchange
     Commission  such  indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in
     the  Securities  Act  and  is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
     claim  for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
     by  registrant  of  expenses  incurred  or  paid  by a director, officer or
     controlling  person  of registrant in the successful defense of any action,
     suit  or  proceeding)  is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
     person in connection with the securities being registered, registrant will,
     unless  in  the  opinion  of  its  counsel  the  matter has been settled by
     controlling  precedent,  submit  to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
     question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
     in  the  Act  and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The  undersigned  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of determining any
liability  under  the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of registrant's annual
report  pursuant  to  Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where  applicable,  each  filing  of  an  employee  benefit plan's annual report
pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated  by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new  registration  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering  of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide  offering  thereof.



                                   SIGNATURES


     Pursuant  to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies  it  has  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  it  meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on  Form  S-8  and  has duly caused this registration
statement  to  be  signed  on  its  behalf  by  the  undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized  in  the city of Charlotte, State of North Carolina, on September 27,

ITEM  1.  THE  PLAN  INFORMATION.

THE  COMPANY

     HouseRaising  has its principal executive offices at 4801 East Independence
Boulevard, Suite 201, Charlotte, North Carolina  28212. HouseRaising's telephone
number  is  (704)  532-2121.

PURPOSE

     HouseRaising  will  issue  common  stock to employees, directors, officers,
consultants, advisors and other persons associated with HouseRaising pursuant to
the  Stock  Plan,  which  has  been  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of
HouseRaising.  The  Stock  Plan  is  intended  to  provide  a  method  whereby
HouseRaising  may  be  stimulated  by the personal involvement of its employees,
directors,  officers,  consultants, advisors and other persons in HouseRaising's
business  and future prosperity, thereby advancing the interests of HouseRaising
and  all of its shareholders. A copy of the Stock Plan has been filed as Exhibit
10.1  to  this  registration  statement.

COMMON  STOCK

     The  Board  has  authorized  the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the common
stock  to  certain  of  the  above-mentioned  persons upon effectiveness of this
registration  statement.

NO  RESTRICTIONS  ON  TRANSFER

     Recipients  of shares of common stock will become the record and beneficial
owner  of the shares of common stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled
to  all  of  the  rights  of  ownership,  including the right to vote any shares
awarded  and  to  receive  ordinary  cash  dividends  on  the  common  stock.

TAX  TREATMENT  TO  THE  RECIPIENTS

     The  common  stock  is  not  qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue  Code.  A  recipient, therefore, will be required for federal income tax
purposes  to  recognize  compensation during the taxable year of issuance unless
the  shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, absent
a  specific  contractual  provision  to the contrary, the recipient will receive
compensation  taxable  at  ordinary  rates equal to the fair market value of the
shares  on  the  date  of  receipt  since  there  will be no substantial risk of
forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. Each recipient is urged to consult
his  tax  advisors  on  this  matter.

TAX  TREATMENT  TO  THE  COMPANY

     The amount of income recognized by a recipient hereunder in accordance with
the  foregoing  discussion  will be a tax deductible expense by HouseRaising for
federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of HouseRaising during which the
recipient  recognizes  income.

RESTRICTIONS  ON  RESALE

     In  the  event  that an affiliate of HouseRaising acquires shares of common
stock  hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act.  Further,  in  the  event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has
sold  or  sells  any  shares  of  common  stock  in  the six months preceding or
following  the  receipt of shares hereunder, any so called "profit", as computed
under  Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, would be required to be disgorged from
the  recipient  to HouseRaising  Services rendered have been recognized as valid
consideration  for  the  "purchase"  of  shares  in connection with the "profit"
computation  under  Section  16(b) of the Exchange Act.  HouseRaising has agreed
that  for the purpose of any "profit" computation under Section 16(b), the price
paid for the common stock issued to affiliates is equal to the value of services
rendered.  Shares  of  common  stock  acquired  hereunder  by persons other than
affiliates  are  not  subject  to  Section  16(b)  of  the  Exchange  Act.

ITEM  2.  REGISTRANT  INFORMATION  AND  EMPLOYEE  PLAN  ANNUAL  INFORMATION

     The  following  documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the  "Commission")  by  HouseRaising,  a  North  Carolina  corporation  (the

a.   The  Company's  latest  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-KSB for the year ended
     December  31,  2003,  filed  with  the  Securities and Exchange Commission;

b.   The  reports of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
     Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the
     year  ended  December  31,  2003;  and

c.   All  other  documents  filed  by  the  Company  after  the  date  of  this

     the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this
     registration  statement  which  de-registers  all securities then remaining
     unsold,  shall  be  deemed  to  be  incorporated  by  reference  in  this
     registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such
     documents.

ITEM  4.  DESCRIPTION  OF  SECURITIES.

     Not  applicable.

ITEM  5.  INTERESTS  OF  NAMED  EXPERTS  AND  COUNSEL.

     The  financial  statements of HouseRaising are incorporated by reference in
this  prospectus  as  of  and for the year ended December 31, 2003 and have been
audited  by  Perrella  &  Associates,  P.A.,  independent  certified  public
accountants,  as set forth in their report incorporated herein by reference, and
are  incorporated  herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts
in  auditing  and  accounting.

     The  Law  Offices  of Harold H. Martin, P.A. has rendered an opinion on the
validity of the securities being registered. Neither Mr. Martin nor the law firm
is  an  affiliate  of  HouseRaising

ITEM  6.  INDEMNIFICATION  OF  OFFICERS,  DIRECTORS,  EMPLOYEES  AND  AGENTS.

     Under  North  Carolina  law,  a  corporation  may  indemnify its directors,
officers,  employees  and  agents  under  certain  circumstances,  including
indemnification  of  such  persons against liability under the Securities Act of
1933,  as  amended.  Those  circumstances  include  that  a  director,  officer,
employee  or  agent  may  be indemnified if the person conducted himself in good
faith  and  he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of
the corporation. A true and correct copy of Section 55-8-51 of Chapter 55 of the
North  Carolina  General  Statutes,  also  known  as the North Carolina Business
Corporation  Act,  that  addresses  indemnification  of  directors,  officers,
employees  and  agents,  is  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  99.1.

     The  bylaws  of  HouseRaising  do  not  provide  for indemnification of its
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by law.
The  Board  of  Directors  of HouseRaising may amend its bylaws in the future to
provide  for  such indemnification. The corporation also may maintain insurance,
at  its expense, to protect itself and all officers and directors against fines,
liabilities,  costs, and expenses, whether or not the corporation would have the
legal  power  to indemnify them directly against such liability. The corporation
currently  does  not  have  any  such  insurance.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling an issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the Commission is that such
indemnification  is  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933  and  is  therefore  unenforceable.

     The  effect  of these provisions may be to limit the rights of HouseRaising
and  its  stockholders  (through  stockholders'  derivative  suits  on behalf of
HouseRaising)  to  recover  monetary damages and expenses against a director for
breach  of  fiduciary  duty.

ITEM  7.  EXEMPTION  FROM  REGISTRATION  CLAIMED.

     Not  applicable.

ItEM  8.  EXHIBITS.

ITEM  9.  UNDERTAKINGS.     The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes:

(1)  To  file,  during  any  period  in  which offers or sales are being made, a
     post-effective  amendment  to  this  registration  statement  to:

(i)     include  any  prospectus  required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;

(ii)     reflect  in  the  prospectus  any  facts  or  events  arising after the
effective  date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  represents a
fundamental  change  in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii)     include  any  material  information  with  respect  to  the  plan  of
distribution  not  previously  disclosed  in  this registration statement or any
material  change  to  such  information  in  this  registration  statement.
Provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the
information  required  to  be  included  in  a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs  is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
section  13  or  section  15(d)  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated  by  reference  in  the  registration  statement.

(2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  pursuant  to the
     Securities  Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
     new  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
     the  offering of such securities offered at that time shall be deemed to be
     the  initial  bona  fide  offering  thereof.

(3)  To  remove  from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
     the  securities  being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the  offering.

(4)  To  deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
     whom  the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
     holders  that  is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
     pursuant  to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under
     the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934;  and,  where  interim  financial
     information  required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not
     set  forth  in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each
     person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report
     that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide
     such  interim  financial  information.

(5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons  of
     registrant  pursuant  to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, registrant
     has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of  the Securities and Exchange
     Commission  such  indemnification  is against public policy as expressed in
     the  Securities  Act  and  is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
     claim  for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
     by  registrant  of  expenses  incurred  or  paid  by a director, officer or
     controlling  person  of registrant in the successful defense of any action,
     suit  or  proceeding)  is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
     person in connection with the securities being registered, registrant will,
     unless  in  the  opinion  of  its  counsel  the  matter has been settled by
     controlling  precedent,  submit  to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
     question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
     in  the  Act  and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The  undersigned  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of determining any
liability  under  the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of registrant's annual
report  pursuant  to  Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where  applicable,  each  filing  of  an  employee  benefit plan's annual report
