The Homer Fund is a nonprofit charity created in 1999 in celebration of The Home Depot’s 20th anniversary and the associates who have made our company so successful. From providing shelter after natural disaster strikes, to helping with the cost of burying a loved one, the Fund seeks to truly make a positive impact in the lives of our associates.

Since 1999, the Fund has provided more than $50 million to almost 45,000 associates in need of shelter, food, clothing and funeral expenses through its Direct and Matching Grant programs. Since 2006, the Orange Scholars Scholarship Program has awarded 3,563 scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 each to children of our associates.
