Andersen Corp. has donated doors and windows to 12 veteran families and housing projects since 2018, including a home completed for Marine Lance Cpl. Josh Wege in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Wege received the keys to the home during a June 30 ceremony.

Why it matters

The projects address accessibility needs for veterans with mobility limitations and reflect corporate and nonprofit partnerships funding housing support for military families. Such donations can reduce the cost burden of accessible construction for recipient households.

Andersen has supported 12 veteran families and housing projects since 2018, and Western Window Systems donated more than 40 doors and windows for six new bungalows at a 560-acre ranch in Mesa Grande, California. The source does not disclose the monetary value of these contributions.

The players

Andersen Corp.

A window and door manufacturer that has donated products to veteran housing projects and supports its dealers' community initiatives.

Therma-Tru

A door manufacturer that donated entry and interior doors for Marine Lance Cpl. Josh Wege's home, its tenth build with Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors.

Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors

A nonprofit that builds accessible homes for wounded and disabled veterans, with former NFL player Jared Allen as a founder.

C4 Foundation

A nonprofit serving military families that is expanding its 560-acre ranch in Mesa Grande, California, to double its capacity.

The details

Andersen's contributions have included financial support and matching employee donations, and its fenestration for these projects can include wider openings, low- or zero-threshold transitions, accessible hardware placement and patio doors. Therma-Tru donated entry and interior doors for Wege's home, which was designed around his accessibility and mobility needs after he lost both legs from injuries sustained in Afghanistan.

Since 2018: Andersen began donating doors and windows to veteran housing projects.
March: Renewal by Andersen of Central Virginia installed a replacement back door for an Army veteran in New Kent, Virginia.
May: The C4 Foundation expansion was announced.
June 30: Wege received the keys to his completed home in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin.

Philanthropy Landscape

Manufacturer participation in Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors has reached a tenth build with Therma-Tru, following a pattern of corporate in-kind donations to accessible veteran housing. Andersen's donations since 2018 show a similar model of building-product companies supplying accessible fenestration to nonprofit builders.

Veterans with mobility limitations may benefit from accessible door and window designs donated through these programs at no cost to them. Readers considering home modifications can ask local dealers whether similar donation or installation programs are available.

The takeaway

Manufacturer donations of accessible doors and windows can meaningfully reduce the cost barrier for veterans adapting their homes. Reader support for such programs can take the form of recognizing participating companies and nonprofits.
