Masco Corporation Reaches $5 Million Milestone in Grant Program

Masco Corporation announced that through its Masco Million Differences campaign, it has cumulatively made $5 million in cash donations over the last five years to nonprofit organizations that support diversity, equity and more inclusive practices in America’s workplaces. The program will continue in its sixth year in 2023.

Between 2018 and 2022, more than 140 nonprofit organizations working to break down barriers to inclusion in the workforce were individually nominated by Masco business units to receive funding to support programs in education and career resources. Over half of the organizations received recurring donations.

“Masco’s diversity, equity and inclusion strategy focuses on three audiences: our workplace, our communities and our marketplace,” said Renee Straber, Masco’s chief human resource officer. “The Masco Million Differences campaign is at the forefront of our efforts to deliver better living possibilities in the communities where we live and work. The program facilitates employee engagement and volunteerism with partner organizations to broaden our employees’ perspectives of real-life barriers to inclusion and, through our annual million-dollar pledge, equip our partners with financial resources that enable them to continue to be change agents in their community.”
