Eaton partners with Habitat for Humanity International, committing more than $1 million in donations over a two-year period
ATLANTA (June 26, 2025) — Habitat for Humanity International and Eaton, an intelligent power management company, are entering the second year of their global partnership. This year, Eaton employees will help build more than 20 new homes around the world.
At the initiation of the partnership in 2024, Eaton committed more than $1 million to Habitat to help build homes in partnership with families over a two-year period, with plans to expand the agreement in the coming years. So far, more than 300 Eaton employee volunteers have contributed more than 1,800 hours and participated in a variety of projects with local Habitat affiliates across the globe, including new home construction and repair projects and playhouse builds, and providing critical support for communities affected by natural disasters.
“The partnership between Eaton and Habitat for Humanity International exemplifies our commitment to fostering sustainable and vibrant communities,” said Amy Pausche, director of community affairs at Eaton. “Through our collective efforts, we are not only building homes, we’re also empowering families and creating a lasting impact in the neighborhoods where we live and operate.”

About Habitat for Humanity
