NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, Ltd (Allied World) is excited to announce a two-year financial commitment of $500,000 to Habitat for Humanity International.

This significant donation will support the work of Habitat Strong, a program focused on building homes designed to withstand the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related hazards. These homes incorporate advanced building techniques and durable materials that offer enhanced protection against natural disasters such as high winds, floods, and extreme weather. By investing in these builds, Allied World is supporting a proactive approach to disaster mitigation and long-term community stability.

“We are incredibly proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity on this initiative, as it ties directly to the heart of our business,” Lou Iglesias, President & CEO of Allied World. “At our core, we are in the business of risk management and protection. Supporting the Habitat Strong program allows us to apply those principles to the community, creating safe, durable shelters. Ultimately, the more resilient we can make our homes against climate hazards, the stronger and more secure our entire community becomes.”

Over the next two years, this $500,000 investment will fully fund the construction of two Habitat Strong homes. These homes will not only help local families build better futures —they will provide a protection against the elements and a foundation for financial independence.

“When a natural disaster strikes, it can leave behind unimaginable destruction to a home and place a family in an impossible situation,” said Tolli Love, chief development officer at Habitat for Humanity International. “As the intensity and frequency of these disasters increase, stronger and more resilient homes are needed now more than ever. The Habitat Strong program addresses this urgent need through fortified codes-plus building practices that create more durable, resilient and physically stronger homes. We are grateful to Allied World for their support of Habitat Strong and working with us to bring safety and security to more families in disaster prone areas.”
