SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Consider this: If we gave you $1,000 to build joy and help those around you, how would you spend it?

Leading national homebuilder and developer Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC) asked team members for their ideas for giving back in their communities. After receiving nearly 100 suggestions, 10 causes were selected, and the teams went to work to #BuildJoy. From surprising families by covering daycare expenses, to funding children's hospice care, to providing food and blankets for homeless populations, and helping individual families get back on their feet after disasters, see and read how the Taylor Morrison team has created heartfelt joyful moments nationwide.

"We were blown away by the team's depth of compassion and kindness to our neighbors," said Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison chairman and chief executive officer. "After a busy year of recovering from hurricanes and other natural disasters, we wanted to end the year with some positivity focused on giving back and building joy. We love building homes and communities—both literally and figuratively—and seeing the commitment our team members have for building community in every sense of the word has been a phenomenal emotional boost."

"As a national homebuilder we've focused our charitable giving primarily on alleviating homelessness and supporting veterans nationwide," said Darrell Sherman, Taylor Morrison executive vice president and chief legal officer. "Because this program has been entirely employee-driven, they've expanded our impact to also caring for families and organizations we might not have known about otherwise. Thanks to everyone's energy and enthusiasm for giving back in various ways, we look forward to continuing to build joy in 2018."
