PARSIPPANY, N.J., Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GAF, the largest roofing and waterproofing manufacturer in North America, launched a new social impact initiative called GAF Community Matters to strengthen and support the communities it serves. GAF has renewed its partnerships with several non-profit organizations as a part of this effort, committing more than $6 million in financial and in-kind donations in 2020 to help neighbors, create disaster resiliency and build community - including materials to roof over 1,500 homes.
"GAF is committed to protecting what matters most, not only through our products, but as neighbors and partners in the communities where we live and work," said Jim Schnepper, President of GAF. "Our partners within GAF's new Community Matters initiative will help us amplify our collective impact together; bringing meaningful change to our communities in new and exciting ways."

Further expanding its commitment to these partners through the GAF Community Matters initiative builds on existing efforts to improve communities and connect experts with nonprofits who need their skills.
