Community Outreach

Delivering possibilities that improve our community, so that together we can improve the world. 

At Masco, the pursuit of better living opportunities isn’t limited to our employees and our customers. We believe a strong, supportive presence in the communities where we live, work and do business is vital. We partner with organizations that are as driven as we are to support the growth of our communities, encourage and enable equity or provide safe, affordable housing for all families. Though the location of our headquarters in southeast Michigan has put the city of Detroit at the heart of our charitable ambitions, Masco leverages the geographic range of our business units to expand our reach from coast to coast.

Making a Difference…It’s Our Foundation

Masco’s commitment to corporate citizenship began with the generosity of our founder, Alex Manoogian. When he arrived in America in 1920 with only $50 to his name, he promised himself that if he found success in this country, he would ensure others had the same opportunities to grow and thrive. Masco’s philanthropy program started as a way to support employees who had served in the war and has since grown to millions of dollars invested in our neighborhoods each year, seeking solutions to the big problems facing our communities—and we’re still just getting started.

Our Employees’ Passions are Our Passions

We are always searching for new ways to positively impact our neighbors and better our communities. Our teams across the globe take their energy and skills outside our walls to neighborhoods where we live and work, volunteering thousands of hours each year. And our matching gift program takes our employees’ giving to the next level, allowing employees to request up to $5,000 each year to double their personal donations to nonprofits. By harnessing both the strength of our financial resources and our employees’ skills and passions, Masco is helping create communities that thrive.
