Our work
For 27 years, Whirlpool Corporation has collaborated with Habitat for Humanity to help improve and broaden the ways Habitat can assist more families to achieve housing stability. Since 1999, Whirlpool Corporation has helped improve the lives of more than 1.1 million people in more than 50 countries through supporting house builds, engaging in U.S. advocacy efforts and donating appliances. Whirlpool Corporation is also supporting the construction of climate resilient and energy-efficient homes with Habitat for Humanity’s BuildBetter with Whirlpool. This program expands on Habitat’s current efforts to help homeowners mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events by supporting the building of energy-efficient and resilient homes. The aim is to produce a long-term reduction in operating costs for homeowners through an expected improvement in energy efficiency of approximately 45% compared to homes built to the current local government code.
Feature partner at Let’s Open the Door pop-up
In 2026, Habitat is popping up in 10 cities worldwide with an art installation of 10 doors, featuring work from local artists and real homeowner stories. Whirlpool Corporation will be a featured partner in New York City, Washington D.C. and Mexico City with their own door, representing what’s possible with a safe, decent foundation.
Through sponsorship of Habitat’s global housing forums, Whirlpool has helped to increase access to shelter for vulnerable populations around the world by joining housing organizations and nonprofit, for-profit, public sector, academia, philanthropic and global institutions to create innovative housing solutions. Whirlpool employees are engaging in Habitat builds across North and South America.
