About The Foundation

A Decade of Giving Back

The foundation was created in 2013 to help those in need achieve their dreams. Being free from illness, owning a home, and building after a catastrophe are just a few of the many dreams we seek to make a reality through the foundation.

Since its inception in 2013, the US LBM Foundation has donated over $4.5 million to support charitable organizations around the country. Learn more about our national partners.

Committed to building our communities

In addition to our national charity partners, the US LBM Foundation cares about supporting the causes most important to our associates locally through our Foundation for Giving program. That’s why every year we reserve funds for our divisions to put towards charitable causes of their choosing in the following areas: youth development, veteran support, housing for those in need, health and human services, and disaster relief. In 2023, over $160,000 were donated to local causes and 2024’s goal is even bigger. Visit our news page to read about the causes we’ve supported locally.
