For the seventh year, national homebuilder
funds team members' philanthropic ideas
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- For the seventh consecutive
year, America's Most Trusted® Home Builder Taylor Morrison (NYSE: TMHC) is putting the
power of giving in the hands of its team members with its annual
philanthropic program, Build Joy. This year, 10 team members were
each awarded $1,000 to make a
difference in their communities by supporting causes that are
meaningful to them.
Since the Build Joy program began in 2017, Taylor Morrison has donated more than
$215,000 to help bring nearly 100
philanthropic ideas to life.
If you were given $1,000 to 'Build Joy' in your community, how
would you spend it?

projects inspired by this simple question.
"Build Joy holds a special place in my heart, as it empowers
team members to give back on behalf of Taylor Morrison in ways that are uniquely and
deeply personal to them," said Taylor
Morrison Chairman and CEO Sheryl
Palmer. "Year upon year, I'm moved by the initiative and
time our team members take to make the holiday season a little
brighter for others in our communities."
This year's Build Joy projects impact a range of meaningful
charitable causes across the country, with many drawing upon
personal connections to Taylor
Morrison team members. Projects include:
- Preparing care packages for parents with babies in the
NICU.
- Hosting a 9-year-old boy and his family for a trip to beautiful
Sarasota as he travels the world
before losing his eyesight. See the young boy's video journal
here.
- Helping a nonprofit that provides free shopping for foster
parents and relatives caring for children.
- Coordinating an outing for veterans from a local veteran home
to combat loneliness.
In Charlotte, N.C., Community
Sales Manager Cathy Whiteside
is supporting the home economics program at Indian Land Middle
School by providing kitchen tools, sewing machines and small
appliances. While the class recently applied for a grant, they have
not received funding and have been in need of supplies throughout
the school year.
"This is a fantastic program for middle school students in the
area to learn a range of basic life skills," said Whiteside.
"Supporting this class through Build Joy is such a great way to
help a teacher furnish her classroom to better educate children in
the area, many of whom live in Taylor
Morrison communities."
While Build Joy began as an internal program for team members,
it has expanded to crowdsource and support philanthropic ideas
submitted from the public as well. After receiving more than 200
ideas, Taylor Morrison selected even
more causes to spread kindness further this holiday season.
