Lowe’s is seeking nominations from communities across the United States for renovation projects that could benefit local nonprofits, schools, and municipal spaces. The company’s call for project ideas is open until March 20, and is part of its Community Impact program.
The initiative will provide up to 100 large-scale renovation grants. In addition, more than 2,000 community improvement projects led by Lowe’s associates are planned throughout the country as part of this effort. This work aligns with Lowe’s five-year pledge to invest $100 million in revitalizing community spaces nationwide.
Marvin Ellison, chairman and CEO of Lowe’s, said: “At Lowe’s, we know strong communities don’t just happen – they’re built. Every day our associates work alongside community helpers to deliver transformational impact for the places we call home. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re setting ambitious goals for our work to help strengthen the communities we serve for generations to come.”
Last year, Lowe’s associates contributed over 10 million square feet of improvements through various projects. Examples include building a mobile shower and laundry facility in Charlotte for people without homes; upgrading bunk rooms at a volunteer fire department in Chattanooga; and repairing a village of tiny homes in Kansas City designed to support veterans transitioning out of homelessness.
Eligible nominations should focus on benefits for nonprofit organizations, educational institutions or municipalities. Project types can range from renovating senior centers and food pantries to improving affordable housing facilities like shelters or transitional living residences. Other eligible projects include enhancing parks or historical theaters, supporting veteran services or first responder facilities such as fire stations or police departments, and updating skilled trades education sites.
Communities interested in nominating a project can submit their ideas before the March deadline.
