For the sixth year, leading national homebuilder brings team members' philanthropic ideas to life
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.,Dec. 23, 2022/PRNewswire/ -- Each year, national homebuilder Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE:TMHC) puts the company's philanthropic efforts in the hands of its team members by funding their ideas for ways to give back in their communities. For its sixth consecutive year, 10 Taylor Morrison team members will be supporting a variety of local causes uniquely personal to them through the company's annual charitable giving program, Build Joy.
"If you were given$1,000to 'Build Joy' in your community, how would you spend it?"That's the questionTaylor Morrisonasks its team members. Since Build Joy began in 2017, the homebuilder has donated more than$140,000to help bring 80 philanthropic ideas to life.
"Rather than telling team members what charitable contributionTaylor Morrisonmade on their behalf, we give team members the funds to lead acts of kindness themselves," said Chairman and CEOSheryl Palmer. "The deeply personal meaning behind our team members' ideas and the local impact they're able to make right in the heart of our communities is far grander than anything we could do nationally."
