CNH Industrial partners with Habitat for Humanity International
ATLANTA (July 14, 2020) — Habitat for Humanity International and the CNH Industrial Foundation today announced a partnership to help families in need of affordable housing.
The partnership is supported by a generous donation from the CNH Industrial Foundation, which will help local Habitat for Humanity affiliates serving communities where CNH Industrial operates ensure more families can build or improve the place they call home.
“Employees at CNH Industrial facilities in the U.S. have volunteered with Habitat organizations in their areas to improve our local communities for over a decade,” said Brian French, president of the CNH Industrial Foundation. “This partnership with Habitat for Humanity International will further these relationships, which can help broaden our opportunities to partner with more Habitat families and build more affordable homes.”
The 2020 financial commitment to Habitat reflects one of the core giving areas of the CNH Industrial Foundation, civic and community improvement, in the local communities where CNH Industrial operates. Additionally, many CNH Industrial employees have significant experience in areas related to the construction industry, further strengthening the partnership with Habitat, and CASE Construction Equipment, a brand of CNH Industrial, has also been supportive of local Habitat affiliates with several in-kind donations to help strengthen those communities.
“We are grateful to have the CNH Industrial Foundation as a partner,” said Julie Laird Davis, vice president of corporate partnerships and cause marketing at Habitat for Humanity International. “We are very pleased to see that a major goal of the CNH Industrial Foundation is to help build homes and transform local communities across the U.S. and possibly internationally. This is a critical part of our mission.”
