Habitat for Humanity International and DuPont announced they are renewing their annual global partnership. As part of the collaboration, DuPont will donate products to local Habitat for Humanity affiliates as well as provide cash donations that support employee volunteer builds around the world.

In 2023, DuPont committed $400,000 to support local Habitat for Humanity affiliates near DuPont offices and plants, benefiting communities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Singapore, and South Korea. In addition, DuPont donated more than $600,000 worth of building products to 35 local Habitat affiliates in the U.S. and Canada, serving 195 families.

This year, DuPont committed to an additional $200,000 in cash and $600,000 in donated product to complete 19 projects across the U.S. Most recently, the company helped sponsor the 38th Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project in St. Paul, MN, in early October.

“At DuPont, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home,” said Tim Lacey, global VP and GM – DuPont Shelter Solutions. “Our renewed partnership with Habitat for Humanity International reflects our commitment to not only provide high-quality building materials but also to empower communities through our employee volunteer efforts. Together, we are making a meaningful impact in the lives of families across the globe.”

Since partnering with Habitat in 2019, DuPont products, including Styrofoam Brand Insulation and Great Stuff Insulated Foam Sealant, have become work site staples at Habitat builds.

In its five years of partnership with Habitat, DuPont has donated $2.5 million in cash and more than $5.5 million in donated products. In addition, more than 1,800 DuPont employees have volunteered on Habitat builds.
