Corporate giving has changed and evolved over the past decade. Many companies donate money to support worthwhile causes, but increasingly, companies are focusing their efforts to make a difference by leveraging their expertise and sharing their products directly with those in need.That's what GAF is doing through its partnership with Good360. Good360, the global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, helps companies do good by distributing highly needed product donations to people facing challenging life circumstances. GAF has worked with the organization to donate $2 million worth of roofing products to vulnerable families in need, and their impact is still growing. Together, GAF and Good360 are transforming lives and communities across the country.

GAF's commitment to protecting what matters most doesn't stop at providing the highest quality roofing materials. We're also committed to investing to strengthen and build up our communities.That's why we recently launched GAF Community Matters, a national social impact initiative to help our neighbors. We're excited to work with a number of incredible organizations as part of this initiative, including Habitat for Humanity, the top housing-focused non-profit organization in the world. As the leading roofing materials company in North America, we're proud to help Habitat for Humanity put roofs over the heads of families in need of decent, affordable housing. At GAF, we support Habitat's philosophy of helping to provide a hand up, not a handout, to people and families.Founded in 1976, Habitat has more than 1,500 local affiliates in the United States and works in more than 70 countries. Together with their volunteers, Habitat has constructed or repaired more than 800,000 houses. Many Habitat volunteers are everyday people, but there's also a need for construction professionals—and GAF helps provide those to Habitat, too.
