Lowe’s Hometowns is a five-year, $100 million investment focused on rebuilding and revitalizing communities across the country. Each year from 2022 through 2026, consumers are given the opportunity to nominate a community space in their hometown – such as a neighborhood garden, park or community center – to receive a physical renovation. Lowe’s will select 100 projects per year to be completed by the nonprofit receiving the grant, in partnership with our Lowe’s store associates and community volunteers. Additionally, as part of Lowe’s Hometowns, Lowe’s stores and support centers will select and complete nearly 1,700 smaller projects in their local communities through product donations and associate volunteerism. Lowe’s Hometowns is the company's largest-ever commitment of its kind and builds on its 100+ year history of giving back to the communities it serves.
Any type of project that involves the physical improvement or renovation of a community space is eligible. All grants must go to a local nonprofit, school or city/municipality that is willing and able to take on the project. Past nominations have included:
Community Centers/Services (e.g. youth centers, senior citizen centers, veteran’s centers, etc.);
Safe Affordable Housing (e.g. homeless shelters, tiny home villages, etc.);
First Responder Facilities (e.g. fire stations, police stations, etc.);
Community Revitalization (e.g. community park, community garden, renovations to downtown plaza, historic theaters, etc.);
Skilled Trades Education initiatives (e.g. mobile training programs, high school vocational, etc.)
