We Build Community
Giving back is a fundamental value of The Home Depot and a passion for our associates. Through an extensive community relations program, we reach out to the communities where our associates live and work with philanthropic and volunteer support. Our programs bring together volunteerism, do-it-yourself expertise, product donations and monetary grants to meet critical needs and build affordable communities.
Continuing its long-standing history of supporting diverse communities, The Home Depot has launched the "Retool Your School" grant program to provide improvements to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) nationwide.
