Filed under: Retail & supermarket chains · Companies that support Israel
Background
Lowe's has no recorded donations, statements, or operations supporting Israel. The home improvement retailer operates only in North America, has no stores or operations in Israel, and has taken no public position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is not a target of the official BDS movement. Its corporate foundation (Lowe's Foundation, EIN 56-6061689) funds U.S. skilled-trades education, housing, and community programs, with no Israel-linked grantees in available filings. Its employee-funded PAC gives to U.S. federal and state candidates of both parties and retail-industry committees; a review of its 2023-24 cycle disbursements found no pro-Israel committees among 286 recipients. A 2011 boycott of Lowe's concerned its pulling of ads from a TV show about American Muslim families — unrelated to Israel.
