Laz Alonso/The Home Depot at CIAA
Laz Alonso joined The Home Depot Retool Your School Grant Improvement Program during CIAA to encourage guests to start voting for their favorite HBCU. Since its launch 10 years ago, the Home Depot has donated more than $2.1 million dollars in campus improvement grants that allow HBCUs to make sustainable improvements to their campuses. Past projects have included eco-friendly classrooms, refurbished basketball courts, modernized health clinics, and communal student space upgrades. To celebrate the 10th year anniversary, The Home Depot has increased its support towards the program and HBCUs by offering ten $50,000 campus improvement grants, creating a new grant, “Campaign of the Year,” which will be awarded to the school whose campaign proves to be most original, innovative and particularly effective.
