LP Building Solutions (LP) announced contributions exceeding $1.3 million in 2024 through the LP Foundation and other corporate giving initiatives. These funds have supported over 100 nonprofits and public schools.
The LP Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity fully funded by LP, has been Building a Better World™ since 1973. Today, it operates five philanthropic programs: Community Grants, Disaster Relief, Team Member Giving Matches, Team Member Nonprofit Board Service Grants, and a partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation.
“Our mission is to strengthen communities, protect our environment, and foster the next generation of talent,” said Breeanna Straessle, president of the LP Foundation. “We’re proud to see how our contributions continue to create a lasting impact across the U.S. and Canada.”
LP deepened its partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2024, donating LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding for specially adapted homes for wounded veterans. Last month, LP helped build a home for retired U.S. Army Sergeant Joshua Hargis in honor of Veterans Day.
“LP’s generosity enables us to further amplify our support of our nation’s incredible heroes and their families,” said Donna Mercier, executive director of the Gary Sinise Foundation. “On behalf of our founder Gary Sinise, we are so grateful for their unwavering support of our mission.”
LP also says it is dedicated to building a more inclusive and skilled workforce, supporting initiatives like the Manufacturing Institute’s Women MAKE America and Heroes MAKE America programs, the Forest Workforce Training Institute, and the Building Talent Foundation, which connects young people and underrepresented groups to opportunities in construction trades.
