Special Interests

Toll Brothers is made up of a diverse group of people. The charities listed here reflect the wide array of causes that are close to our hearts.

The Toll Brothers – Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network

Continuing a tradition formerly held by Texaco for many years, Toll Brothers is now the official sponsor of these broadcasts, which are heard on public radio across the country and throughout the world.

Seeds of Peace

Since 2000 Toll Brothers employees, associates, friends, and family ready Camp Seeds of Peace for the summer season. Located 40 miles northwest of Portland, Maine, the camp is devoted to inspiring peace and harmony in young people from conflict-ridden areas and ending the cycle of violence. Each year the camp hosts hundreds of teenagers identified as the best and brightest from several countries.

Led by professional facilitators, the teens live side by side for two-week sport and activity sessions specifically designed to teach conflict resolution skills. So far, more than 2,000 teens representing 22 countries have attended the summer camp, and gone on to work with the organization's Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem and other areas, building bonds and extending friendship. "Most of these kids come to camp as fanatics for Islam or Israel, and they leave as fanatics for peace," says Bob Toll. "The transformation that takes place must be seen to be believed. It is hopeful and truly inspirational."

Each year, hundreds of Toll Brothers participants join forces to whip the Seeds of Peace campgrounds into shape and renovate the various buildings and structures. Many Toll Brothers employees and their families have made this altruistic venture an annual event – some coming from Toll Brothers locations as far away as New Jersey to participate.

Say Yes to Education

In 1990, the Toll family sponsored 58 third graders in a program called Say Yes to Education, which is affiliated with the University Of Pennsylvania Graduate School Of Education. They guaranteed a college education to the 58 students and provided counseling, instructional aid, and summer programs. An unprecedented number of the students graduated from high school and college and are now working, attending college, or planning for graduate school.

Hurricane Katrina Matching Relief Fund

Toll Brothers employees nationwide contributed $510,000, and each donation was matched by the corporation. In total, we raised $1,020,000 to help people who suffered through this tragedy.
