WHAT’S ON YOUR COMMUNITY BUCKET LIST?

We all dream of ways to improve our communities — a bucket list of project ideas to help make the places we love better and stronger. Whether it’s revitalizing a community center, upgrading a food pantry or improving a park where neighbors gather, these projects start with ideas from people who know their communities best.
 
Through Lowe’s Community Impact Grants, we partner with nonprofits and community organizations to help bring these projects to life. Together with our associates, customers and partners, we’re helping turn community bucket list ideas into real improvements — delivering thousands of community impact projects nationwide. These efforts reflect our belief that strong communities don’t just happen – they’re built.
 
Nominations for the 2026 Lowe’s Community Impact Grants are now closed and the selected projects will be announced later this summer.
