Wells Fargo Foundation donates $4.6 million to Habitat for Humanity International to benefit more than 200 families across the U.S.

ATLANTA, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 30 years, Habitat for Humanity International and Wells Fargo have worked together to increase housing affordability and helping to build more prosperous communities around the world. Today, Wells Fargo is donating $4.6 million through the 2025 Wells Fargo Builds program to support new home construction, renovation and repair to benefit more than 200 families in more than 130 communities across the U.S.

"Wells Fargo is focused on creating housing access and affordability in communities across the U.S. and the world," said Darlene Goins, president of the Wells Fargo Foundation. "Habitat is a true leader in advancing viable housing solutions that help individuals gain access to affordable homes and remain housed in their local communities."

Wells Fargo Builds, a collaboration between the Wells Fargo Foundation and Habitat, provides philanthropic financial support for the construction, renovation and repair of homes with low-to-moderate income households. Wells Fargo Foundation's funding also helps Habitat build systems that advance housing equity for all people and address policies that have prevented access to safe and affordable housing. Since 2020, Habitat has recorded that more than 8,400 Wells Fargo employees have contributed 45,000 volunteer hours. Through their combined efforts, Habitat and Wells Fargo have been able to serve nearly 1,900 families and positively impact the lives of 6,000 individuals.

"Over the course of the past 30 years, thousands of families have been impacted by the powerful partnership between the Wells Fargo Foundation and Habitat," said Charlita Stephens-Walker, vice president of corporate partnerships and cause marketing at Habitat for Humanity International. "Habitat knows that a safe, affordable, and decent place to call home is the foundation for wellness, dignity, and economic opportunity. We are proud to partner with the Wells Fargo Foundation, who shares our commitment to increasing and improving access to affordable housing, and we are grateful for their support as we work to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live."

Since 2015, Wells Fargo and the Wells Fargo Foundation have donated more than $102 million to Habitat for Humanity International and local Habitat affiliates, including support for new home construction and repairs, helping older adults age in their homes, and neighborhood revitalization and disaster response efforts. The company will also be a $500,000 Platinum Sponsor for the 2025 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project, taking place in Austin, Texas, on Oct. 26-31.
