SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With a
community-centric approach to homebuilding, Taylor Morrison Home
Corporation (NYSE: TMHC) emphasizes its dedication to philanthropy
by presenting its team members with the gift of giving. For the
fifth consecutive year, the nation's fifth largest homebuilder and
developer is helping support local causes through its annual
holiday giving program, Build Joy.
Every year, Taylor Morrison asks
its team members "If you were given $1,000 to 'Build Joy' in your community, how
would you spend it?" Since Build Joy began in 2017, the homebuilder
has donated more than $130,000 to
help bring 70 philanthropic ideas to life.
"I am repeatedly overwhelmed by the touching and uplifting
responses we receive and the passion behind the acts of kindness
that follow," said Taylor Morrison
Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer.
"Philanthropy is infused in our company's DNA and Build Joy is just
one of the actions that underscores our team's intrinsic desire to
give back."
This year's program is centered around the theme of 'community,'
and participants were asked to consider how they could involve or
serve their own—whether that meant raising funds for teammates
undergoing cancer treatment, showing appreciation for residents of
a Taylor Morrison community, or
donating to a local charity they have a personal connection to.
After nearly 100 heartwarming ideas were submitted for
consideration, 15 ideas were selected, and each were awarded funds
from Taylor Morrison. This year's
acts of kindness included hosting a Friendsgiving for teens living
in a group home, treating ICU nurses to a spa day after enduring
the emotional turmoil of COVID-19 for nearly two years, funding a
field trip for high school students taking construction courses to
visit a job site and learn more about the trade, and supporting a
team member with $10,000 to put
toward her children's college expenses after the sudden loss of her
husband.
"Whether it's our customers or our team members, people come
first, and that mentality reflects the culture and values that
guide our organization," said Taylor
Morrison Chief Marketing and Communications Officer
Stephanie McCarty. "Beyond building
homes, we believe in being good neighbors within our communities
and uplifting those around us. It's gratifying to witness our team
positively impact communities in meaningful ways and to spread our
efforts further each year."
What started as an annual internal program, Build Joy has grown
to involve individuals outside of the company. After receiving more
than 100 ideas of support from community members, Taylor Morrison has selected more than a handful
of ideas and is excited to provide funding to spread kindness even
more this holiday season.
In honor of National Build Joy Day on Dec. 2, Taylor
Morrison welcomes you and your loved ones to give back to
the community you call home. Through National Build Joy Day,
Taylor Morrison hopes to scale the
meaning behind its philanthropic initiative and encourages anyone
to spread kindness, no matter how big or small. Share how you are
